Yes, Shuley, I do have one of the original 22 and it was that fact that it is the same depth as the 23 only 2 inches less from left side to right side but it has the high top and that I really wanted that. I believe my charcoal basket is bigger too, it is the same shape as the bottom of the grill. I am very happy with it!

Shuley, it is not that hard to wheel the KK, the hard part is to get it started and from there it is easy. I keep mine in an outdoor kitchen and especially in the winter I need to move it out a little to cook. I'm moving it to keep the dome hat from hitting the winter shades that are over the windows. Once I discovered the vast improvement in taste there was no way I was going to be using the kitchen stove to do my meats, poultry, etc. I know it's a little more work to light the KK than to turn the knob on the kitchen stove but the improvement in flavour is well worth it. I live where we get lots of snow and lots of freezing temperatures in the winter but I still use the KK all winter long. The KK is another appliance in my cooking arsenal, one that has made a huge flavour improvement, definitely not a fad. If great tasting food is your goal you won't be disappointed with the KK.

CC, what a great cook, it does look extra tasty:) :)

Punmaster, those are great shots.

Yes, you can arrange your food on the different grate levels which makes it possible to adjust the distance the food is from the fire. It is a great advantage to be able to do this. I find it possible to do more direct cooks than I was used to doing.

Geo, sounds like you had a nice and simple cook but at the same time very tasty.:)

Fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern. I boiled them in salted water for about 10 mins. then I added them to a dish with butter, pepper and a little granulated garlic.

Stiles, thank you. I cooked extras this time so you are more than welcome to drop by. I'll even do some fiddle heads for you.:)

I was really taken with yesterday's drumsticks and put another batch on today. Here are 8 ready for the grill after the Frank's Hot Sauce overnight marinade. On the grill. A friend dropped by just as I was done with my garden work and he gave me a big bag of fiddle heads that he has just picked. Those drumsticks are like little sacks filled with moisture. Plated. These are just sooooooooooo moist.

The second humming bird that you sent my way is now here. I think the only thing for them to eat is my syrup:)

Thanks, dstr, I have made a paper copy and a saved file.

dstr8, I am going to have to try your KK heat soaked method. It sounds wonderful. I hope you post pixs of the chicken you are now planning. It will help my motivation.

ck, the plated pix sure has activated my salivary glands. Delicious.

I mainly heat soak when I'm doing bread or pizza.

Thanks, ck & Stiles, those drumsticks were wonderful. I've had that holder for years and it also works for wings.

Marinated 4 chicken drumsticks in Frank's Red Hot Sauce for a few hours before putting them on the grill. Ready for the grill. On the grill. Did baked potato and that was served with a side of squash. Instead of dipping the potato in a saline solution I just dipped a moist potato into the salt. About an hour at 350-375F and the drumsticks are done. The drumsticks were unbelievable moist. I was amazed. 2 more today for dinner. I enjoyed these so much that I'm doing something that I rarely and I mean rarely do and that is I'm doing another batch of drumsticks tomorrow.:) There must be something in the water.;)

Looking forward to seeing the new pixs.

Geo, your burger dinner looks fabulous, so full of colour and flavour. Love the pix.

CK, you are so right, one male arrived just a few minutes ago and it was at the kitchen window feeder. As usual I heard it before I saw it. Love the flutter of those little wings. All is right with the world now.:)

dstr8, gotta lover roasted cauliflower. I know I do.:)

That is fantastic CK.

ck, I need you to pack those little travelling bags for the humming birds and send them on their way. They should have been here yesterday, I have my well stocked feeders out but not one h bird in sight.

Oops, I need to stop at Keep Up's for some of that salad and perfectly delicious looking steak dinner before heading off to Tony's. Am I ever going to be enjoying myself

Tony, I think I want to come for dinner, I know I want to come for dinner. Especially if I can have a glass of your

Dennis, that new 22 inch is an absolute beauty. I love it.:)
