Actually Tony, I very much appreciate the write up that you did and I'll take some pointers and put them to use. Thanks. :)

Oh no, me and my one dump beans would be up Chili Creek without a paddle. :(

This is the second piece of cheese cake my friend brought. It is a chocolate caramel cheese cake and it was rich, I mean rich, richer than rich. The topping is shaved white chocolate.

Naturally I love the those pebbles, they are just like mine and you will find they cook better than the other tiles and colours.

Best not to watch, Rak. They even took care of the garbage, what a fantastic job they did.

Delicious, yum yum.. I just bet that was extra tasty. It has been a very long time since I made chili and this might have just pushed me over the edge.

I'm depressed that I can't be there. The least I could do is to take pixs of those crazy Canucks.

Lucky me, my brother gave me some moose meat that he got in the Yukon and a friend brought me some of her cheese cake. Decided I'd better SV the moose steak, did it for 6 hours at 134F and it was still too tough for me so put it back on for another 22 hours and here it is- Juicy and tender but another few hours wouldn't have hurt. Tony, I did the baked potato using your suggests from American's Test Kitchen. I've done the x cut and squeeze before but this time I made sure to do it asap after it comes out of the oven. Thanks for the tips it is a great method. A friend who does not live handy me brought 2 pieces of cheese cake yesterday. One is gone and the soon to be. Delicious.

Rak, that was a lovely cook and first meal off your new beautiful KK. BTW, enjoy that nice clean white of the interior it won't be there for long.

I'm liking those pizza cooks, Hector and dstr, I'm looking forward to Sun's cook.

Rak, temperature inside and out will be the same but the thermometer won't be affected by the wind chill factor like we are.

Perfect, Rak. Ready for lift off:)

Jon, I think Tony means supper;)

Rak, I see the hole for the thermometer. I guess you haven't found the thermometer yet or haven't had time to insert it. Remember living in Canada it's best to keep it in the house on these cooooold nights.

sk, wow, that looks sooooooooooooo tasty, gorgeous.

Rak, it really is stunning.

I can across this recipe for Kaya jam and thought Cookie and Tomahawk might enjoy. http://www.codlo.com/blogs/codlo/23795073-how-to-make-the-easiest-and-most-authentic-i-kaya-i-jam-ever-with-sous-vide The ingredient list is small and easy to find. Coconut milk, egg yolk and light brown sugar. Sous vide in a mason jar at 177.8F for 1 hour. It reminds me of maple cream, love it. Here it is on half of a pretzel bun with a fried egg, and a slice of KK smoked bacon.

The moral of this story is start with a KK.

I can see fun times camping this summer with all those great eats you will be able to do.

A little help for you Rak.

This must be payback for all the teasing. Excuse me while I get a ice pack for my neck.

I'll be patient, it will be worth it.

Robert, I agree.

That burger wouldn't last long at my house I can tell you. Yummy.
