Tasty looking pizzas. Yummy.

Good news, Bruce. More important to get that plumbing issue fixed.

Tony, I did the bacon at 400F for 6 mins. The most I've done is 2 pieces at a time. I suspect if you did a whole batch you might not want to use that temp. I bet it would smoke big time because a lot of fat drips off and into the bottom.

I hope you have a battery or ordered one it doesn't come with one or the charger. That is one of my favourite tools. I use it to clean off the counters in the ODK, a platform bird feeder and sometimes leaves off the deck.

No, Tony, I just barely heated it in the microwave.

The sous vide egg didn't take long because the Joule only require 1.5 inch of water minimum but then you need enough to cover the egg. I just put the water in a pot on the stove and brought it up to temp. almost then take it off the stove add Joule, set temp. 194F and time 8 mins and away you go. The coffee 149F for 2 hours, coarse grind, filter, and you will want to heat it up a little for drinking. It definitely had a caramel flavour to it and it was very smooth. Might make a better iced coffee. It was the same coffee that I use for my espresso but you would not recognize the flavour. I won't do this for a regular hot coffee as there are better and a lot faster ways to get coffee.

Made a pulled pork sandwich for lunch today. It sure is nice to have previous cook leftovers in the freezer. Now let's see if I can get it folded. Well that worked.:)

I did the coffee and I was very surprised by the taste. I used the same coffee as I use for espresso except that I changed the grind. It turned out to be very smooth and had what I thought was caramel flavour. Might be better for ice coffee.

99.9% of the time it is thru the grate and I have it set on low so I can keep the sparks under control. I have done it thru the vent but that is very likely to spray everything with ashes if not careful.

What excitement, I hope it goes super smoothly. Looking forward to seeing the first fire.

More time with the blower and less time with the torch means that I am prolonging the day the gas runs out. Which would be ok if I have a back up tank.

Stevenoncoals, a real beauty indeed, gotta love those pebbles.

I've done lots of sous vide eggs and not all were successful but this one was. SV egg at 194F for 8 mins. and then into a very cold bath to stop the cooking. Lately I've used the air fryer to cook the bacon and am liking that method. Wouldn't want to do a lot at a time just a couple of pieces or you might get a lot of smoke. It sure gets rid of lots of the fat and the bacon still tastes wonderful. That is some of the Lebanese Mountain bread that was just made recently. My eggs are fresh and I has a difficult time getting it out of the shell as you can see by all the ragged edges. The egg was very creamy, both the white and the yolk were very tasty and both had a nice texture. Purple crack added. Next up, SV coffee.

BTW, Steveoncoals, you just know we'd love to see some pixs of your new KK. I hope your back heals very quickly.

Steveoncoals, welcome, I have used a Bernzomatic torch and it works perfectly, a few seconds with the torch and then some air supplied by a Milwaukee M18™ Compact Blower and you are off to the races- The blower is pictured here without the battery. I find the combination of the torch and blower give me complete and fast control over my fire. Plus I get to use the blower to do some clean up jobs.

One thing I particularily like done sous vide, besides an egg (If you can nail it.) is a lightly brined pork chop. Yummy.:)

Full basket, you don't want to run out of fuel and as Kismet mentioned you will be in control with the vents.

Now THAT is toy to beat all other toys.

Looking good and am looking forward to seeing the upcoming pixs. Your knife looks similar to a set we have.

I just saw the unboxing pixs, you just got in under the wire before your KK turned to dust.

Don't listen to Rob, we all know our grill cooks the best. Gorgeous grill and gorgeous little girl. Don't be surprised it down the road your wife doesn't say, maybe we should get the 32.

Carolina Que, you will be thrilled with that 21 inch KK, no doubt about it.:) Get ready to take lots and lots of pixs, you just know we will want to see them.

My Joule arrived today so I had to try it out. Did a beef tenderloin steak at 132F for 4 hours. A double baked potato in the air fryer along with some onion rings that were added at the end of the potato cook. I have been eyeing this sous vide for quite sometime and seeing it in amusedtodeath's post I got busy and ordered one. Tomorrow morning I hope to do a sous vide egg for breakfast and later some sous vide coffee. It should be a fun day.:) So far I'm very happy with this machine, it is quiet as a mouse, small, about 1.5 X 11.5 inches and 1100 watts.

Beautiful sight.:)

Counter top is looking perfectly spectacular.
