It will be especially if you have great eats in the meantime.

Chuck is what I usually grind for hamburgers but I have a new trick I'm waiting to try and it involves a chuck roast. It will be similar to Tony's cook.

Did you fill it right up to the handles? I've never cooked my pizza at 700F, not saying that others haven't but I do mine more in the 500-550 range. I would think 4 complete turns on the top cap would allow for lots of air flow with the bottom vent open all the way. I do as jruddy does for the grate thermometer.

Nice smoke ring on that pot roast, Tony.

What a fantastic day you had for the big arrival. It is a stunning colour. Looking forward to seeing it in place and smoking away.:)

Welcome Peter. Are you in Australia?

Your rib dinner sure is looking very tasty, Tony. It's nice being able to get out and cook without putting on a winter jacket.

Basher, what a nice looking lamb and chicken cook. lots there to please everyone.

Tekobo, what awesome looking bread, I wish I was in line for the taste test.

Troble, I don't think you are going to have too many leftovers and you won't have what's left for long by the looks of that cook.

Those are a couple of meals that are setting off my saliva glands.

Good point Tony, I hadn't thought of that.

@ Lance, no it doesn't obstruct the air flow, here is a view from the inside wall opposite the front vent. The firebox rests on that lip you see running along the top of the pix. Lots of room for air flow.

I see those crystals glistening in the sunlight and the tiles are very creative.

It is just a backhanded way of saying, "We're sorry we didn't see the pixs."

@Troble, your pizza is making my mouth water, it looks sooooo delicious.

Well we know that didn't happen.

@ Lance, Jon is probably boating this weekend so I'll take the liberty and tell you why I think the SS plate is there. I believe it is there to keep live coals from falling out the vent holes. That's my 2 cents.

I'm a Jonanna Gains fan also. The rolls look delicious.

Says he who has a chandelier in the ODK.

Troble, I sure hope it doesn't discover my KKs that could be a real disaster. Jon, I think I'd recognize you and Bruce even in bear suits, at least you'd better hope I do.

That bear was out in the yard for almost an hour checking things out.

It was just over 10 inches and the stone is the same size as the main grate, which Jon says in 16 inches.

That is not the end of the story it was back this morning. It is all together too tame for my liking. It made the rounds before the camera switched to daylight. Then it made the rounds all over again. T Then when I was out feeding the birds it came back. I went in the house got my camera and grabbed two shots. I had to yell and bang my hands on the railing to get it to leave, That is not a good sign.:(

Someone mention porridge... Just happened to make this in my Zojirushi. I set the timer to have it ready for breakfast. The first time I did it and opened up the rice cooker I thought, "Oh my goodness, I've ruined it!" Next move was to stir it up, and that is when the magic happened. Added some date slices and called it fantastic. It has B&B cinnamon in it and a little maple syrup. It amazing, I thought I was going to be forcing this down but not so. You know those little red candy hearts we all eat at Valentine's, well that is what my cereal tastes like. LOL
