Poochie

Those are good looking yardbirds!

Probe wasn’t touching the bone or not in the center of the butt maybe?

That soup has to be good. It sure looks great!

Paprika in your rub helps too.

Best of all it looks like super crispy skin. Win win!

Those ribs look perfect! Great job on them!

Well, for this week anyway. Wife: I've had it with you! I can't believe you forgot my birthday for the fifth time! I think a divorce is in our future. Husband: I'm sorry, dear. It won't happen again. I'll get you tickets for the upcoming NASCAR event. How's that? Wife: You'll do better than that. I've been wanting my own race car for years. A fast one too. Husband: You can't be serious. Wife: Tomorrow afternoon, there better be something in the driveway that can go from zero to 200 in less than 5 seconds. Period! Husband. Yes dear. So the next day the wife comes home and sees a package in the driveway. Thinking it's the keys to a race car she opens it to find a bathroom scale.

You're outnumbered. Sorry! And terrible is the only kind I know

Another die hard tile fan. But a very believable story 😎

Tekobo goes to the local steakhouse and unfortunately for her, it’s Tony’s first night as a waiter. Tekobo: I’ll have the 8oz fillet please Tony: Yes miss. Coming right up. As Tony is bringing the steak to her table, Tekobo gets annoyed. Tekobo: Sir, why is your thumb on my steak? Tony: So it won’t fall on the floor again, miss.

Nice meal, Tony. You aced it.

Ok tekobo, stop messing with that catnip!

You're not kidding, Paul! My KK will be on the water tomorrow (Tuesday October 12) so I'm pumped. And here's the color... MacKenzie told me a long time ago that pebbles rule. Who am I to argue?

This group rates an A+ for spending other people's money. Yeah, I'm guilty as charged. But you can't buy the wrong thing here. Let your significant other, buddy, pal, life partner pick out the color. There aren't any bad colors.

I wouldn't mind having a plate of that right now. Looks yummy.

The way he put to me was that they always use black unless another color is requested. I think they have a grey too. He also said the grout can be darkened by applying silicone or Armor All.

Thank you everyone for the tips. It looks like that double bottom pan may end up on the crate after all. You guys are great!

So you let juices from chicken and beef mix with the taters in the double bottom pan? The liquid is not too smoky? Have you cranked the temperature on the double bottom pan and nothing burned? That should be enough questions for a while!

Besides cheese, what do you use it for? Salmon needs to be at least slightly cooked, in my opinion. I can’t think of a use for it.

It's called "cracklin" or "cracklings" over here. There are many stores that have it and it ranges from great to inedible. But how can you go wrong when you are frying hog skin in hog fat? They are delicious and sell for around $15 to $20 a pound. If a store has it, they'll always have boudin too. But that's another topic.

You could hang meat like in a UDS (ugly drum smoker) and it would cook just fine. I'll test it for you if you'd like, Dennis.

I'm getting the lump basket divider, shelves, rotisserie cradle, and pizza stone. Cold smoker and double bottom pan aren't on the list. Yet. I'm going to guess that it'll be delivered by December 1, but with the crazy way things are at the port in California, there's no telling.

Why don't you use a Seal-a-Meal on some of those leftovers? I'd get sick of eating that pork butt every day for sure. Your setup is beautiful and I love that grill/Santa Maria. It takes a while to get the hang of cooking with wood but you look like you're well on your way. That steak supper looked delicious!

Looks like the Komodo Gods were smiling and sending good vibes my way. Someone changed their mind on a 32" and now my name is on it. Best of all, it's leaving on the October shipment! I may buy a Powerball ticket with that kind of luck. I know the first question on your mind is "Hey Poochie, can I pay for it?" No thanks, but I appreciate it. And speaking of Dennis, he said he'd send a free Bambino to anyone who correctly guesses the color. Just pay $3500 shipping and handling charge. Time to clear a spot in my outdoor building for the new arrival. Someone who owns the double drip pan, please tell me about it. I don't have it on my list of accessories yet.
