sf, I would dearly love to have some of your dish right about now. Lovely bake.

Thanks, Bruce. I will do a pix of the gun, stay tuned.;)

It didn't take much pushing to push me over the edge this morning. It is extremely windy and very cold so why not make some whiskey kindling. It is not for the wood stove but for my new toy, the Smoking Gum. Took the cleaver to some whiskey barrel wood chips. These are really just slivers, about the size of a tooth pick. That was enough slivers to fill the hopper. Cooked the egg and took the shell off. Put it into the bag and added the smoke, left it for a few mins. That's it. The smoke can clearly be seen on the egg. Served with some Purple Crack and Sriracha Sauce. Very pleasant change. [emoji4]

Aussie, your plated dinner looks very appealing, extra tasty looking.:)

While I am on the Xmas theme, this was my Xmas dinner at my brother's. Cranberry pudding for dessert, not a great phone shot but it is the best I have.

I did wonder about doing my egg at breakfast tomorrow. I need to find a source of smoking wood. I really want to get whiskey barrel wood.

My nieces gave me a smoking gun for Xmas so I just had to try it out. I will say right up front this is no way a replacement for smoking on the KK but it is fun, quick and easy to do in a pinch. I have cheese and salami in the bag that is filled with apple smoke. It only takes a few mins. to do this. Served with some extra tasty beer made by a friend of mine. The salami was actually improved by this little addition of smoke.:)

Dinner is looking very tasty to me.

Oh, wow, I like the look of that feast. [emoji4][emoji4]

[emoji319]Dennis, All the Best to You and Your Family for 2018.[emoji4] While those pixs you posted are very beautiful, the situation is even more dangerous than I imagined. [emoji44] VOG, who would have guessed. It is great to hear that you are on the mend. Let the trend continue.[emoji4]

]What a great way to spend Xmas.[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

That ham bag is a keeper just like the famous KK sign.[emoji4] Your ham cook looks wonderful. [emoji4][emoji4]

ROFL, good one Aussi.[emoji4] Happy Holidays and All the Best for 2018.[emoji4]

Aussie, what a tasty looking cook.[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

And a Milwaukee blower. We could have a stand off.[emoji4]

Wonderful cook.[emoji4]

I am glad it turned out for you. [emoji4] I have never cooked lamb.

The first big cook is on New Year's Eve for 50-70 people depending on who turns up. I think a low and slow on the 21" and grilling on the 23" may be the way to go. I am hoping to arrive on time and will report back on what is going to be a stellar cook. Stay tuned.[emoji4]

They are gorgeous.

You are having quite the day, love those BLACK pebbles. They look gorgeous even in the dark.

I nearly missed this and that wouldn't have been good. Tucker, you have your hands full and you are off to a tasty running start.

I can just picture that, awesome.

Oh no, looking at your crates it appears that the KOMODO KAMADO has turned into FRAGILE.

KK breakfast of warmed up wings and left over beans here! Now that is the real spirit. [emoji7][emoji4]

Why am I thinking about this now? LOL After you have closed the vents and the KK has cooled down, indicating the fire is out, loosen the top vent a tad and move the locking handle to the first position. This will relax the pressure on the gaskets and help preserve their longevity. If only I could do that to myself and not just my KKs.
