Stunning, an absolute beauty. Looking forward to the first cook.

Thank you Cookie for that. Heck, I'll go for free if can get a couple of slices of his pizza.

Then there was the unexpected dessert, never too full to eat this. Shelled and served with a little melted butter, that's how I like my lobster, I don't want it contaminated with other flavours.

Thanks, guys. Tony it is espresso.

It might be cold, wet and miserable but Pebbles is definitely up to the challenge.:) Chicken thighs ready for the KK. Grilling. Potato Wedges. Plated. The finale.

Jeff, welcome. You are in for many many fantastic taste experiences. You could not have have made a more perfect purchase.

I think you are so right, Tony. Once Geo's family tastes those ribs he is in big trouble.

Thanks, Geo. Next time I'll use a bigger beef roast for this recipe. It turned out to be one of those dishes you just want to pick and pick at, it was so good.

That was quite the test you gave those grates and everything looks very tasty.

Geo, that is great news, congratulations. I'm sure those awesome ribs had something to do with Miss Jean accepting your proposal.

Thanks, eveyone, the mushrooms really added a great flavour to the pulled beef.

Geo, I love those pictures. Moisture, moisture, the KK is superior in keeping food moist.:) When I do the chicken drum sticks, they end up like sacks of moisture, puncture that skin to get the temp and you get a fountain.

Thanks CC but don't you sell yourself short like Rob did.:)

Thank you, Bosco.

Boy, am I in great company and that includes CC and a whole lot of other folks posting here and I bet a whole lot of others who perhaps don't post but do read.

Did a small boneless blade roast (about 2 pounds) last night. Added the following to a casserole- 1t Better than Bullion 1C water 2T Worcestershire sauce Mix and add to casserole, spice the roast and add it also. Cook uncovered on the KK at 250-275F for 6 hours or until can be pulled. Pull. Cook some Portabella mushrooms, pile on some pulled beef, and add some cheese and tomatoes, etc. This burger comes with a warning, it is very juicy and I do mean juicy but delicious.

Elaine, it's great he's getting interested. Light a spot of lump and get the hair dryer out, that will make it take right off. No, don't leave the top open just open the vents and get the draft moving.

I am happy to have such a nice reminder.

Wait until they all start croaking.:)

byran, I have seen that before but it is still interesting to see again. Perhaps one of these times it will push me over the edge to make one or two or...

That is gorgeous, Dennis, perfect.

I used Dennis's hair dryer trick this afternoon, lite a little spot and turned the hair dryer, did that speed things up.

This little critter is one of the more brave ones. It comes running as soon as I come out in the morning to fill the feeders. Right now I have them sitting on the greenhouse step while I fill them up. There are about 6 running around the yard along with 2 chipmunks and lots of birds. Sounds like a zoo but actually it isn't that bad and they are fun to watch.

Thanks, Jon, CK and tinyfish, can't have too much pizza and those hot Thai peppers give it a little zing.:)

Yes, it is all in the proportions and the eye of the beholder, I should have been more clear, the ratio of the base to the rim is what looks more muscular to me. In any case they are all gorgeous. It's just that mine is the most gorgeous.
