Tucker

I need some help on this folks. I have read the posts for the Guru, but still have not figured it all out regarding what pieces and parts I need to equip a small and large KK with Guru's. If anyone has a packing list they can provide, it would be most appreciated!! (I most likely have killed off the brain cells that can figure this out with too many margarita's or martini's)

We are in NE Florida, the deer around here get upwards of 120#.

A few Sunday's ago we cooked up some Speedies. This is a recipie that I got from my Aunt who lives in Johnson City, NY. My neighbor's son got his first deer around Thanksgiving and gave me a 5# roast to freeze. When you take them off have some chicago rolls (short torpedos) ready, just slip the skewered meat into the roll, grip and pull it off, dress it as you like. Yum. Recipie: 3-4 pounds of venison cut into ¾â€-1†cubes 4-5 cloves garlic minced (fresh is best) 1 Tablespoon Oregano 1 Tablespoon Basil 1 Bay leaf ½ cup sugar ¾ cup vegetable oil 1 cup wine vinegar (can be red, white or cider) Parsley to taste Juice of one whole lemon Mix the ingredients above well and pour over the venison. (Best container is a large pickle jar) Marinade minimum 3 days, no longer than 5 days in refrigerator. Shake or stir often.

Where's the pics?

NEw Kooker Congrats ! another Floridian. Enjoy -

Temp to pull butts off right before my pants catch on fire (sorry - could not resist - it's been a long day)

Lookin Good Congratulations on the new arrival!!

We did two turkeys (27# each), we have a large group to feed. One was done in the KK the other was fried. The KK roasted one was prepared with home-made bread stuffing inside, carrots, celery, onion and spices in the pan with a butter massage to finish. KK @ 320-330F, covered with foil for 3hrs, uncover for another 3hrs, then rest covered for 30min. Internal temps were: breast - 179F thigh-189F A little high, but NO dry meat, everything was succulent. Roasted 27pounder Fried 27pounder

Stone Rocks WOW. Very nice, the color and pattern look terrific. Is the grout to be grey or black?

Re: On the Water...

I use a simple electric element to light with. I have tried the gas option and the coal chminey. The electric has no smoke and it lights in no time. Set it and forget it until you see the little smoke from the coals. Not sure I'll be using anything else. Anyone wanna buy a slightly used gas option?

Thanks John, much appreciated. It will roll out the gate, but the lab will be home, not to worry I am sure he'll let you by after a few hours of playing. Excellent news on the cover, thx!

As TC said "got screwed by Kamado" I found the fraud forum, then found my way here. nuf said.

Thanks for the compliments guys.. Regarding building more for sale, I am not in a position to do anything like that. As for Post build ideas... at the top of the list, I would source an exotic wood (Mahogany, Teak, etc) to do the skin and top (no Granite - too bloody heavy!). The Birch ply was hard to get the color done well. I was not dissapointed by any of the other design elements.

Mmmm, Mmmm, good.. lookin! That looks like a real tasty meal. great work!

Oh Man.. I wish I wasn't already cookin a turkey today! I would do this lickety split. I have this in my recipie list for the next pork dinner we have. thanks for sharing.

Rib Placement I have not used the horozontal racks for ribs, I have only used the southern steamers rib rack, which may fit your K. Give thier site a look-see to check dimensions.

Completed Cart - FINALLY!! After many months of working a little at a time and in between last minute business trips to various continents and recovering from water damage to the house, I was able to carve out time to finish up my KK Kart project. The intention was to put a counter adjacent to the KK adn organized all the pieces for it (and get it all out of my workshop!). I intended to put a slatted top on it to match our teak patio furniture, but the in-laws had a mishap with the install of thier granite counters and I was given a piece of granite I incorporated into the top. Frame is pine 1.5"x2", panels are smooth birch plywood 1/2", top frame is 2"x6" Cedara with a lip cut into it to accept the granite. Finish is satin poly on everything except Cedar top, I use Watco oil on it. Everything got 4 coats. Casters are al l4 swivel, front two lock. Johnny is in process of making a cover to match KK and Bar with a handle sewn into a seam so I can hang it on the other side of the shepards hook. For a first shot and doing it all from my head (no plans or drawings), my wife and I are very pleased and I no longer have to use the outside table to stage everything.
