  1. Jim it does not take much to thaw it. Even a candle would do it. Two quick choices are a little heat inside from the draft door or a blow dryer on the outside.

    Wife is smarter than me. She suggested boiling water. Poured over lid, opened in 3 seconds.

    Supposedly a sister-in-law bought a cover for me for X-Mas.

    im not sure of how the KK materials can handle this, but in many other materials it would lead to the dome cracking

  2. I'm not wild about calamari. I've had good calamari twice in my life... and "blah" calamari dozens of times. I was hoping that since I bought these fresh and cleaned/prepped them myself that they would somehow be better than average. But no... just kinda bland, salty/sweet and slightly chewy. Not as bad as some I've had, but nothing to write home about.

    Ah well.

    :?

    How long did you cook them for?? Something the size you are cooking should be on the grill less than a minute.

    Or...cooked by another means for much longer.

    Squid remains tender when cooked for a very short time..then gets chewie..then gets tender again after longer cooking.

  3. I dont think most tiles are going to be affected by water to much extent.

    my parents have quarry tile over their concrete stoop on their front vestibule

    they live in chicago and this get snowed/rained on all the time.

    been 24 years, the only crack is with one tile and its due to settling

    and its not even an epoxy grout

    just a sanded grout with additive(probably latex)

  4. i believe a saratoga is cut toward the end of the ribroast and beginning of another cut

    Delmonico -i usually see it from the second description

    1. a bone-in top loin steak (a triangular-shaped, short loin cut, some suggesting the first cut of the top loin next to the rib end) also known as a club steak, country club steak, shell steak, and strip loin steak;

    2. a boneless or bone-in rib-eye steak (some insist it is a rib cut closest to the front end of the ribs while others say any rib-eye);

    3. a boneless top loin steak (also known as a New York strip steak, Kansas City steak, strip loin, ambassador, boneless club, hotel or veiny steak);

    4. a boneless top sirloin.

  5. duck cooks well on a rottiserie, med/high heat is good, you want the fat to get rendered out and get the skin nice and crispy

    OR

    buy some nice duck breasts marinate or just s&p

    grill them on high heat and cook them like you would a steak

    I like mine medium/med.rare

  6. cast iron smoke boxes can be found at stores.

    many bbq'ers do not like to soak the wood, they feel you get an acridic flavoring

    check out smokering dot com lots of tips there.

    Personally I like cherry, apple woods for most smoking

    mesquite for some beef cuts i.e. skirt steak

  7. Re: Any chance in future of Metal Exterior??

    I worry about tile adhesion.
    It seems Dennis has the tile problem licked. But there's always the option of textured, or "stucco" finish. No tiles to fall off!

    There's a hand hammered copper prototype out there (photo on the forum boards somewhere) , but (airc) the price would be astronomical. As it would have to be. Same with stainless. And powder coat would be like dressing a goddess in a dirty gunny sack. Bleh!

    Consider a textured - they're really pretty, lots of colors to pick from, AND they're readily available!

    Enamel coated or Automotive type paint would rock, imo. My spicewine smoker has the blazing copper finish on the Ford Edge

    the copper one sounds like it is what i would prefer. and that should really not be that much more than a tiled unit. much less labor
