Nothing wrong with Mini Me Meatloaf Burgers.

Interesting cook for sure. I've done a total salt crusted steak where you bust the salt off. Wasn't thrilled with that. Doubt I'll try it with a Cornish hen especially it you have to hit it with the torch to get any color.

Yup a good concept - just need to give a proper checker flag finish.

Looks good. Been meaning to ask you about the sauce. Glad you liked it. It's a good one if you like vinegar based sauces.

Great looking burger. What was in the meat?

Yay - the ranks of the no ketchup brigade is growing.

One day when I no longer have to take random pee tests. Of course by then it'll probably be legal.

TY MacKenzie and Bruce. It wasn't a bad cook but I think next time I'm going to stuff it with shrimp and grits, possibly some bacon (tomato sauce shrimp and grits). Should be a southerners dream dish. The concept is there it just needs a bit of tweaking.

Nice looking KK - I love my 16".

Nice NYE cook.

Very tasty looking pizza and really great pictures.

It's totally awesome when your better half is on board. Makes life so much easier. Two KK's are definitely a necessity. I use both at the same time on a regular basis. I even brought out my Akorn Jr on Christmas and had 3 kamados going. Not sure if I could talk Mrs skreef into a third KK (22" TT). Soon enough it'll only be us 2 and we don't do any large entertaining. With that said a large Yakatori is definitely on the short list. Unfortunately the one I really want I fear has now been discontinued and I can't seem to find a suitable replacement.

Bacon and Shrimp stuffed sweet potatoes served with a mushroom risotto. Didn't go out of 2016 with a bang but not exactly a gong either. Let's call it a pop - LOL I like the concept and have another idea for this basic cook. Risotto was awesome. Pictures are sort of suckey.

Looks spectacular. So how did the coffee rub taste? Potato bake looks fantastic too.

Happy new year Dennis and all the KK owners. It was a great year. Hopefully 2017 will be even better.

Mine hasn't been that clean since the day I got it. I really need to order some.

Dang it man. You pulled out all th stops on that cook. Looks delicious and a great entry.

Looks good so far.

The seasonings was just right. The basting sauce was just right. Temp was right, basting times was right. It really was a pleasure to cook and eat this meatloaf. Just a few pictures. The Bush seasonings and Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Vinegar are totally awesome and went well together.

Reverse sears work good for large cuts even extra thick 2"+ steaks. Gets you a nice even cook throughout. I think the world gets a little crazy with the reverse sear. Some will even reverse sear a 1" steak. 1" steaks just need to be cooked properly and a reverse sear just isn't needed and it's a bit of extra work.

Can't wait to see the outcome.

Nice looking chops. On Christmas I actually got out my Akorn Jr and used 3 kamados that day. Akorn Jr to cook Remoh's bread. Prometheus to cook the roast. Cassiopeia to cook the sides.

TY for posting that - will give it a try one day. I like potatoes but get tired of eating them cooked the same way. I'm always on the lookout for new potato recipes.

I really didn't realize the taste difference for a long time. Then one day the grocery store had a twin pack of tails, one Maine tail and one spiney tail. I prepped them the same and cooked them side by side. It was a good taste test. There is a huge difference in taste and a small difference in texture. I definitely prefer the sweeter Maine tails and won't even buy the spiney tails anymore. Another tidbit of info I researched one day - There is also a physical difference in prawns and shrimp. Essentially the same creature and the world tends to interchange the two words. A lot of people think it is about the physical size (prawns being extra large shrimp). That is incorrect they are really two different crustaceans. The two have a different lineage and can be distinguished by the size and placement of the small pincher legs. Although for cooking and eating purposes can be interchanged. I would love to get an extra large shrimp and a similar sized prawn and give them a side by side taste test.
