mk1, delicious looking ribs and an awesome smoke ring.

Thanks, Basher. I didn't clean it out yet, just thought they'd plug it up again. I'll check for bodies when I do clean it out though.

Had to replenish my bacon, that is one thing I don't like to be without at breakfast time. Did a 3 hour cold smoke with cherry pellets, the cold smoker worked flawlessly for the entire smoke. Then when the KK was ready the pork belly can out of the fridge for a hot smoke. Oh my goodness the ODK smells wonderful as does my fridge and kitchen. Interesting how the 2 pieces came out so differently. They were one pork belly that I cut in half for easier handling. All sliced, packaged and in the freezer. All set for breakfasts for a while, 10 lbs of pork belly. While I was out smoking I notice those same flying insects that plugged my torch, have plugged my rotisserie hole. What next.

Tony, that chicken looks wonderful, tasty dinner for sure.

CK, those pizza look wonderful and I expect the cherry crumble wasn't too shabby either.

We love spending your money. $$$

and it's looking even better.

Basher, what a great looking cook.[emoji4] Bet it tasted delicious.

Lots to celebrate with your first cooks.

Must have been some very tense moments getting you new KK into the storage area. Great job and it is looking awesome. The real fun is about to begin.

Bruce, yes the glaze goes on after the beets are cooked.

Aussie is coming to dinner. New to me recipe and I did like it and plan to make another batch tomorrow for the freezer. These are good warm or cold, nice to snack on. https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/balsamic-glazed-roasted-beets.html#tabbox Peeled beets- Baked and glaze is on, balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. I went back for seconds and normally I would not do that for warm beets but these were tasty.

Did some pork belly burnt ends today and Mac & Cheese. The pepper is from my garden and they are unbelievably hot, I've eaten raw jalapeno peppers before from the store, they don't even compare with the ones in my garden for heat. The cheese is a white cheddar that I smoked at the beginning of the summer. That is maple syrup and butter the burnt ends are sitting in. Plated.

Now, that steak should melt in your mouth.[emoji4]

A tasty trip down memory lane.

Good eats in that casserole.

Sure looks very tasty.

500F did a nice job on your pizza.

Oh my, what a gorgeous KK. You will be able to cook a ton of food for your friends and neighbours.

Yes, you should be able to get some hose there.:)

Yes, but did you see how burnt the food was?

Bruce, that is one lucky friend you have.

Go for it, Wahoo. I'm sure they will be delicious and beautiful.

And just wait until you taste the food.[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

I like the wood, didn't think of mahogany, did think of cherry though but decided it wasn't red enough.
