  1. Those are nice and meaty ribs, Aussie and a tasty dinner.
  2. Tyrus, you got my number, thanks. That brine is a killer.
  3. They are wonderful, Bruce, I just love the brining effect, no KK involved.
  4. I love the design of the Niche Zero. It would be great to be able to switch the grind size from espresso to regular grind and not have all those leftover grinds in the grinder.
  5. I like this method of doing scallops, soak in salt/sugar(4:1) brine for 10 mins. then rinse and put the scallops in the SV bag with a little olive oil. Cook for 30 mins at 128F.
  6. LOL, jonj. It is AKA, the freezer room, and the exercise room.
  7. telobo, that pork roast you did on the rotisserie certainly looks extra delicious.
  8. The magic of salt - The excess water is being drawn out and soon I'll cook it in the mustard sauce.
  9. You should smell my dehydration room, Fabreze has nothing on this.
  10. Right now I have a batch of mustard pickles on, the third and last for this year. I want to give some away so that is the reason for this batch.
  11. It is a beautiful dry day here so decided to take advantage of the situation and dry some herbs and pepper today. I have several of these still on the plants, they look so beautiful. They are a good 10 inches long. Decided to cut it into 1/4 inch strips and dehydrate it. This is the result, tasty. That went so well that I picked some rosemary and thyme to dry. I already have a small bottle of thyme but one can always use more thyme.
  12. @tekobo, when you get older you will be wearing eye glasses most likely, that should eliminate the goggles. The thing about these blowers is that you can really control the air flow and keep it very low and that will help eliminate the sparks. With the hair dryer you really don't have that much control over the air flow.
  13. If we get it done I will post info that might be useful to you and or that you might be able to improve upon.
  14. It is too bad that it is not finished like the KK.[emoji20]
  15. I had 4 of these that I want to get rid of before the pork side I order arrives so I sous vided them all. Today I was having one for dinner so decided to light the Solo Stove to sear the steak. (Another Syzygies idea. It only take a few mins to get this stove going and I usually do that in a KK for safety sake. I wish I had taken a pix of the Konro grate on the Solo Stove, next time. It is such a quick way of searing, fantastic. Here are the results- This stove is small and it is not going to do searing for a crowd but for a small family, perfect because it only takes a few mins to light and then sear.
  16. Thanks, ck. I have asked my carpenter to come a week from Fri so we can work on the table. Not sure this is going to happen then but....it might.
  17. Geo, a hair dryer works but you don't have same control over the air flow that you have with the Milwaukee blower, not even close, plus you don't need electricity.
  18. Thank you very much, Charles. It is too bad the grill was not prettier. Yes, I'd like to have the bin metal lined also. Right now I put a aluminium foil over the top when I'm done cooking. It is just a rectangle of foil that I made by folding up several layers of foil and then I put the grates on top to keep it there.
  19. I bought this one just after Syzygies mentioned he bought it. I, also had the battery for other tools. It is wonderful, and there are so many other uses for it too, blowing dust off the bbq tables, deck, cleaning out a platform bird feeder, etc.
  20. I do same the same: 1. Fill the basket, no matter how small the cook. 2. Use a MAPP torch to light usually one spot on top of the lump. 3. Use a blower to get the fire going nicely. Doesn't take very long at all and the fire always starts.
  21. Thanks, Tony but you won't believe this we had a frost Sun. night and the bird baths were frozen over. When I went out to feed the critters the temp was 31F There was frost damage but mostly just the tops were burned so they are still going. I'm surprised that so much escaped damage. There should be more tomatoes before we get that killer frost and everything goes even when covered. This year we only had 2 months without frost, July and Aug.
