SmallBBQr, I totally understand your dilemma. Living in Nova Scotia I had the same problem but I thought life is passing by and I figured I couldn't wait for the dollar to equalize. After deciding to go for it, seeing the product and most importantly tasting the food I am totally happy with the purchase. I liked it so much that last fall I ordered a small one, the 16.5 inch KK for easy winter cooking.

I just bought some PVC pipe so that I can make a frame and cover for it and keep out those peskie little critters that tend to lay eggs on the red and green cabbage greens. Naturally they turn into worms that eat my greens. I figure some fine netting will keep the layers out and I'll have nice clean greens until the fall freeze up. I will make several plantings over the summer and the container is self watering so it doesn't drip all over my deck.

Baked bread today and after being away all weekend so there were lots of chores to do including baking bread. Therefore I wanted a quick lunch, scallops on the Baking Steel, sweet potato fries in the air fryer and salad from the deck salad bar. Scallops and fries cooked in the same time, 10 mins. Just coated a small section of the Baking Steel with Ghee and fried the scallops, covered part was through with a stainless steel bowl to make sure they would be done when the fries were done.

Your rotti chicken looks wonderful.

Great review of your KK arrival and initial cooks. Stunningly beautiful KK as are the cooks.

Now we just need to see smoke coming out the upper vent.

What they said^^.

Gorgeous setting and dog.

Happy Birthday to you, Tony, Happy Birthday to you and many more.

That was a big hit and I'm sure Pauli's KK will be one too.

Tasty looking eats for sure.[emoji1]

Aussie, your ribs are sure looking beautiful.[emoji4]

Aussie, your secret is safe with me. CK, use lots.

I checked it out too.

Got the cold smoker out while I was doing the bacon smoke. The whisky barrel wood smells so good and so does my bacon.:) Taste test tomorrow at breakfast. Maybe I'll go to bed early tonight.

I just finished planting the rest of my flowers and my veggie garden you have no idea how much I'd like to be sitting at your table with that in front of me.

I have a gone right to pieces hanging around you people, I'm now into pot smoking and purple crack, where will it stop.

Wow, Aussie, you sure are eating the good stuff.

Shuley, it sure does look like and extra tasty cook.

Nothing good, CSC.[emoji41]

Wouldn't I like to have 2 or 3 of those beauties.

I did some frozen plate cut sweet potatoes last evening, some good.[emoji11]

Lovely.[emoji7]

The experience of getting the KK on your deck is not one you are likely to forget.
