I wanted to try Syzygies' idea of using the double bottom pan under the pizza stone, so here goes- I just set this whole arrangement on top of the main grate. Add a little fresh basil from the garden. First slice of three. I'd do this again but next time I'd be a little more patient and wait for the KK to get to 500 F. This time the stone was 465F. Crust seemed to be a little more chewy than normal and I could have cooked the whole pizza for another minute but it really was very tasty as is. A shot of the crust from my phone.

Try vanilla yogurt, even better.

Thanks, Braai-Q. It was an experience not to be missed. Terriers are full of the devil and I like that. Seeing pix of your dog brings back fond memories.

What isn't?

That is a rough dig but in the end you will be happy with the results.

Nice birthday dinner, looks super moist and tasty. Happy birthday to your wife.

Thanks, Braai-Q. My wire haired fox terriers have already gone to dog heaven, I think they came back as 2 KKs. This is a picture of a picture beside my desk.

Those ribs look delicious. Peaches turn pretty fast, you have to stay on top of them.

tekobo, looks delicious, the real thing or not.

Love that dog, but then I'm partial to terriers having own 2 wire haired fox terriers. I'll save the raves for the KK after more of the reveal hits the stands.

Love that colour, good luck with your sale.

Right after dinner I went on a round trip of 52km to get homemade ice cream worthy of some Grilled Peach Reef Syrup. Winner winner.

Leftover pulled pork dinner from my pork butt cook and the drippings made a nice dipping sauce. Yes, to those questioning what I dipped the fries in, it is sriracha Duke's Mayo.

Of the cow or the consumer?

Before the gentleman from Georgia uses up the balance of the time I'm going to chime in. I buy butter from a farmer at the local market. He makes his own and it has a wonderful flavour, no colour nor additives are added , just a hint of salt. This butter softens quicker to a spreadable texture faster than supermarket butter, a bonus. It does cost about 3 times the supermarket price but still worth every penny. I usually stock up and freeze it so I don't run out.

@El Pescador, I used equal parts freshly ground black pepper, granulated garlic and chili pepper but first rubbed the butt with Lea & Persians Worcestershire sauce.

You could use a foil covered tray or as some people do use a foil tray but I have this tool and it fits with lots of space for air flow around it. It is solid I don't have to worry about getting a hole in it and have leaking liquid spread into my KK or it the pan has a lot of juice in it as I've seen in some pix this pan has handles and will be easy to pick up without spilling. It's easy to clean just a little heavy. Next I'm going to try it as Syzygies suggested for a pizza cook. I've had it for years collecting dust but not any more. I had it on the lower grate for this cook but it could also sit on the main grated and then another grate on top of that with the pizza stone. I would think it would be great for someone who does lots of butts, briskets and roasts. I don't do butts often, in fact this might be my first in 2 years but now I just might do them more often.

Used the double bottom pan when I did a small 3.3 lb. pork butt today. KK ran around 225F-245F for about 13 hours, the IT was 204F. Taste test. Yum. The drippings, there is also liquid fat in the pan but it's not visible in the photo. I have another butt in the freezer and I am going to cook it exactly the same way.

Beautiful cooks, Alimac.

One of the joys of roasting a chicken for me is the hot chicken sandwich that invariably follows.

Made some Lebanese Mountain bread and just had to have some for lunch. Picked up some green, cuke, tomato and onion from the garden and off to the races. Leftover chicken from the last roast. Some homemade ranch dressing and freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano. and you thought I'd never be able to fold it.

In your dollars it would be not much more than half the price.

What is the diameter of the pan?

Busy day around here, did 2 sourdough loaves of bread and then started a chicken dinner. A trip to the garden to get potatoes, onion, and squash. Butter, black pepper and maple syrup in the cavity. There was a little spill over.

Nice.
