Thanks, Poochie. I've only done them 3 times so I need to do more. Now hamburger buns I can do in my sleep.

Poochi, I bet that chili had lots of great flavor and a little heat too.

tinyfish, that tracking pix brings back many memories. I hope it's only 3 weeks for you. Those beer can burgers look delicious and all the stuffings are ones I like.

These should go well with my smoked chicken sausages:) Buns formed and rising. Baked buns. Ready for the dogs.

RedStick, that is fantastic news that you wife in looking forward to a KK. I'd like to make a suggestion, wait until you cook on your KK and see if you will really want/need your Kamado Joe. The KK is just so lovely to cook on that you might want to trade in your K Joe for another KK and then again you might decide that the 23 does everything you need. Just a thought. Start saving, give each other a piece of a KK for anniversaries/birthdays/Xmas/Mothers' Day/Fathers' Day. :)

This is my go-to recipe for hamburger buns.

Restick, as tinfyfish mentioned, there is a heat deflector that comes standard but there is also a stainless steel drip pan that comes standard and it is round. Both the heat deflector and the baking stone are in the shape of the grill but they are a different composition. The baking stone is specially formulated to be a baking stone and it is awesome. Personally I wouldn't be without it. It works like no other. If I haven't posted the bun recipe I will do that.

Gottcha, egmiii. I never priced the green one.

I am really a breakfast person and it all goes down hill as the day progresses.

Thanks, everyone. You sure know how to put a smile on my face.

With those facts it just doesn't make sense that you wouldn't buy the KK. It makes no sense what so ever! Spread the word.:

I wanted to make some more of those chicken sausages that I had posted pixs of before. I remember someone asking, "What did I use for fat?" and I didn't remember at the time that I in fact did add more fat in the form of pork butt. The recipe I used is from Michael Rhulamn's Charcuterier, The Craft of Salting, Smoking and Curing. The only change I made was to reduce the kosher salt by about 20%. Normally I will hot smoke these on the KK until the internal temp. is 160F:) The 3.5 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs and the 1.5 lbs of pork butt produced 25 stuffed sausages. Using the leftovers at the bottom of the stuffer I rolled a sausage for breakfast and just fried it. The sausage is nice and moist, even fried. Can't wait to smoke some low and slow on Pebbles:)

Thanks, Poochi, I don't need more competition.

I'm not a fan of having to shovel to find my grill, that's why I have an outdoor kitchen on the deck just to the left of the sliding glass door. Makes for easy access during the winter. I couldn't imagine not being able to grill all winter. Can't go back to cooking meat, etc. on the stove.

Poochie, those ribs must have been very tasty and I do like that smoke ring.

I thought you might like this one.)

For sure I'm cooking under a roof this winter. I also have a sunbrella curtain the will keep the snow off the grill and countertops and the open windows will be shuttered. No snow on my cooking area!!!

I was so inspired by Wilbur's pasta and chicken dish I just had to have one. Olives, parsley, capers, cherry tomatoes, roasted sweet pepper all ready for the frying pan. The plan really is just to heat these ingredients in a little oil and add a tablespoon or 2 of white wine and then add it to some cooked pasta. Heating the ingredients in a de Buyer pan on the stove. Yesterday I sous vide some chicken breasts. Today I just coated them with oil, granulated garlic and pepper then put then right over the KK fire basket to warm and get some colour. Plated. Now for a double espresso.

Poochie, that butt looks sooooooooooo moist. I'm going to do one on my 21 inch just as soon as I get a chance. How much easier could a cook get.

I sure do use the basket splitter and wouldn't consider not getting one.

Beautiful, what a GRAND child.

Way to go, ckreef.

bosco, wonderful tasty looking meal and it must have been a fast cook.

RedStick, I don't think you'll find other issues to worry over with the KK.

Tasty tasty looking cook and sandwich, kjs, and I'm sure lots of leftovers for more great meals.
