Re: Baconnaise I've made up a couple of different Bacon Mayo's and they are all GREAT! From a subtle hint of flavor in a simple haas avocado sandwich to lots of flavor on waffles with maple syrup.. This will be in stores one day!

Re: My Cheapo hair drier... Coleman (I think it's Coleman) makes a unit to refill the blue bottles from a reg propane tank. Have seen them in Wally World. I think Ace may also carry them. Look Here: http://www.navagear.com/2008/04/refill- ... cylinders/ Great thanks.. Ordered one.. Will be happy to have gas again..

My Cheapo hair drier... A while back Ace hardware here in Bali stopped importing the traditional blue propane bottles.. Argh.. I though my life was over. I reluctantly bought some of those lil' wax starters.. I break them in two or three pieces light one and toss them into a lil hole in the charcoal and stack some lil pieces over it. I wait a few impatient minutes and then hit it with the hairdryer.. it glows madly and immediately lights all the charcoal around it.. It can also be a life saver when you have shut down your airflow too long dropping temps and need to get some barely burning charcoal going again.. The secret is to move the airflow slowly into the KK.. This prevents ashes from flying too much.. you can also blow out of the KK any ash you stir up.. Oh and it also brings out the 10 year old pyromanic in you..

Must have been a cold morning! Must have been a cold morning! LOL

At high temps all the volatiles have been burned off Remember that once a bowl has been raging at high temps all the volatiles have been burned off and there is no longer any smoke or smokey flavor. Great time for bread, pizza or vegetables.. Also a good way to use lousy charcoal.. Crank it up and shut it down.

This article sums up the shipping problems I've been having recently from having my "Discharged" in Kobe and NYK not accepting charcoal. Basically when demand for freight dropped, carriers cut capacity.

Re: Larger Pizza Stone?

Here is a well known firmness scale that works well Absolutely recommend the Thermapen.. Once you use one you'll toss every other as the wait will become unbearable.. Just like going back to a slower computer or internet connection after using a faster one.. Once you know your temp.. start to notice the firmness of your steaks at these temps.. either from touching them with your tongs or finger.. Once memorized you can also use touch to get repeatable results. Here is a well known firmness scale that works well ttp://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/meat/activity-fingertest.html

Re: Username change We can change it from the backend.. Just send me the new Username..

Doohickey can be yanked and tossed.. The Doohickey is a support for the big heavy gas burner.. If you don't have one or plan on ever using one it can be yanked and tossed.. No problem letting the holes fill with ash..

Re: Username change Only way to do it is to just sign up again.. I'll delete this one..

Both 6" and 8" KK Roti baskets are in ready stock. Both 6" and 8" KK Roti baskets are in ready stock..

It's amazing how there is no residual mustard flavor at all.. just a great chewy bark.. Great job.. They look great.

definitely need to close until the gasket is touching No leak the top was open one-eighth turn. Yes you definitely need to close until the gasket is touching to shut of the airflow to kill the charcoal

I don't recommend using your KK as a high temp grill cleaner The stainless in the basket is the same 304 used in the grills.. When we were testing with high heat runs the stainless in the bottom of the baskets would distort and sag a bit.. Could not tell you what temps.. Especially as your gasket is food grade silicone I don't recommend you regularly using your KK as a high temp grill cleaner.. I have a customer that ran his on his first cook without realizing that the latch had two positions and toasted it enough that the silicone that attaches it failed and it was distorted.. For quick sears bouncing up to 800º is fine but I'd stick to 700º for max long time running because continual extreme expansion is not good for your KK. Surprisingly stainless steel scrubbers work great too.. My grills are always pre-oiled I use Firemonkey's rolled and tied up towel in a small tupperware full of oil trick.. I give them a simple scrub from the top with a stainless steel scrubber. I can get almost everything.. I don't usually worry about what's on the very bottom of the grills.. as my food does not touch it and I'm sure it gets sanitized every cook..

I'm Back.. It was amazing. I'm back.. it was amazing, here is a link to a gallery on my FB page.. I'll get some pics up here soon.. iPhoto put up this gallery painlessly. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=66157&id=1019964350&l=3c3cd620e1 Here are a few teasers...

Is there a 2.65 mile high club? We won't be doing any hiking and they have guests there frequently so I'm sure they have plenty of strategically placed oxygen bottles. We'll only be at 14,000 for the day and will sleep at 10,000. Is there a 2.65 mile high club?

Tomorrow night I'm flying to Timika, Papua.. We will go about 1 day up a serious jungle river and stay three nights with the Kamoro tribe with world famous anthropologist Kal Muller as our guide. We will then return to Timika and be flown in Hueys to the base camp of the Grasburg Mine at 10,000ft. We will then proceed to go to 14,000 to see the worlds richest open pit copper and gold mine.. The best part is my mother, Bobbi her significant other Tony French and Sai are going with me. Gotta have someone to feed the natives if they get hungry.. You know they will want Sai not us! My momma and Tony are going to earn their tough as the Donner party stars for doing this trip at 74... It's will be be real interesting to see what breathing at 14,000ft is going to be like for all of us.. Google Grasburg Mine indonesia and the Kamoro of New Guinea to get a better idea how wild this ill be.. It will be an amazing trip.. I'm really excited. If I don't end up in a pot myself.. I'll be back online and on the phone on the 17th... Maybe I'll get to BBQ some grubs and piggy with the Kamoro...

Multi meat cookin' First I smoked/cooked a chicken for the nachos... Then 4 racks of ribs, followed by three Wagu wanna be Tri Tips and right as I was sneaking away from the two hot Komodos I was called back in to grill the zucchini.. Thin sliced the Tri's for sandwiches.. Saisuda made up some pumpkin and green curry to add some Thai zing to the table also.. There was a big batch with lots of 2 Rums & some Contreau with orange and coconut juice and the party was a total success.. Of course!

Best BBQ song ever on youtube..

When I was reading about MMS there was lots of information about all kinds of meat and vegetables being dipped chlorine dioxide solution or gassed with chlorine dioxide. For those of you who have never heard about MMS http://jimhumble.biz http://jimhumble.biz/biz-brochure.pdf http://www.mmsanswers.com http://www.jimhumble.biz/biz-fundamentals.htm http://mms-articles.com/MMS-howdoesitwork.htm http://mmsinstructions.com http://www.jimhumble.biz/biz-mms2intro-eng.htm

a stainless tray/heat shield Yes the heat deflector is refractory and designed for high temps.. It comes with a stainless tray/heat shield that should be used if it is frozen, very cold to protect it from heat shock.. and slow down the heating process. The Baking stone comes with one too..

Maverick I've had a couple of Maverick's.. I gently and slowly straightened the sensor.. It just needs a little straightening to get thru the hole..

Congrats It's on it's way.. Congrats It's on it's way.. Also a belated, welcome to the forum.. YOu will be cookin' for your party..
