The pix of the steak on the KK looks wonderful. Actually that steak was a small roast and the leftovers will be welcome I'm sure.

You are becoming a short rib pro, Aussie.

Your wife did an absolutely fantastic job on your short ribs and chips cake. [emoji16][emoji7][emoji41]

Looks like a tasty meal, ck.

Sure looks tasty, Steve. Thanks for posting the sauce recipe.

I thought as much but I was about to ask for your trash.:)

erik, those are all awesome cooks, everything looks sooooooo delicious.

Spun 2 chicken breasts that were marinated in Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Done. Plated. The interior.

Now we're talking and I happen to have two M18 batteries, now I just need to locate the blower.:) Thanks, Syzygies.:)

That is going to be a fantastic setting when finished, awesome. Speaking of awesome, your 32 inch KK is stunning, love that colour.:) I agree with Steve, it is not that easy to get coffee char or coconut wood in Canada so I'd save it for cooking. Get some lump charcoal locally and use that for the burn in. Not sure where your lower grate should be in the packing but perhaps you have found it by now, I hope.:)

Bruce you might think all that garlic would over power things but not so, it was nice and mellow with Just a hint of orange. One thing I like is that this recipe has no added sugar of any kind and most beans seem to have tons of sugar in one form or another.

Aussie, your burger looks extra tasty.

A friend gave me a batch of turtle beans that she grew last year. Added 10 smashed cloves of garlic, 1 large onion quartered with some of the root on all 4 pieces, one orange juiced and the orange shell to beans that were soaked overnight. Put them on the KK to simmer for 8 or more until they were soft. Plated with a salad and garlic bread. When the beans are done throw out the orange peel and the onion chunks.

Beautiful, I like the very first shot after the sliced tuna and as a second pick I'd go with the same as Paul, the first overhead shot.:) Good luck.:)

Speaking of wildlife, I was checking my garden out about 6 AM this morning. Beautiful sunny, windless, quiet time then all of a sudden I heard the rustle of wings and wind directly about my head. 12 geese flew over about 25 feet in the air and only made 1 honking sound. It was beautiful and I have only the recorded memory in my head for proof.

Cheerie looking vodka.

Thanks, kjs.:)

Bruce, it had better not be gopher wood, they are not allowed on this critter ranch.

Aussie, you are bringing back very fond memories.

That's the spirit. Keep up the good work.

Speaking of beer, I came into procession of this gift today. Made by my brew-master friend. Apparently it will keep for years not that I expect to do that.

and now, Donny, you know the rest of the story.

I just went out to the ODK and what do I see but a squirrel sitting on top on my KK. I grabbed a couple of pixs just for fun but when I went too close it jumped down onto the counter. Then I saw what it was up to. It had been chewing on a little piece of smoking wood. This was no surprise as I had seen them before at the dish with smoking wood in it. I picked up the little stick and put it back in the dish. Here is the surprise- the critter jumped back onto the shelf with the dish and picked another one out of it, then jumped onto the shrub just outside the window.

, I really did laugh my head off.

Another OctoFork cook on the KK today, some spicy cheese sausages with the sweet potato plank cut chips and a fresh salad. Plated.
