Bunny...................Looked like a rat/cat to me????????

Steve......I have to ask! I enjoy your sense of humor in your posts...................so wondering if there is a story about the plate your roast beef sandwich is sitting on????

Now your talking.......................

@Grant @Aussie Ora @tony b @ckreef Ready to ship...........................

@Grant @Aussie Ora @tony b It was a valiant effort on the part of Syracuse, leading until the last two minutes. Feel bad about the injury to the Clemson QB. Hate to see that happen to any player. I have Aussie's address....Grant please PM me a mailing address where I can send your winnings (get your own chicken ). Tony you get some also for your nice POST-GAME UPDATE (will have my sister drop them off later this month). Will post a photo of the prize rubs & sauces before sending this this week. Love college football !! Too much fun ( @ckreef going to send the BBQ sauce I promised you also)

I believe kick off is at noon..........Will accept any wagers up until then. We surprised them last year, up here in Syracuse. They are out for revenge!!!! Off to look at houses with my daughter....have a great day. Go Cuse!!!!!!!

Aussie.......You know this is American football and not soccer.. I accept your wager!!!!!!

Grant, The bet is on . The local rub/sauce is great on chicken...........but don't start counting them until they hatch .

Glad you are back to post all about the breads I buy at the Wegman's bakery

Tomorrow Syracuse University plays Clemson in Death Valley Stadium. Both teams are undefeated. Any KK Clemson fans willing to bet some of your best local or favorite seasonings on the outcome of the game?? I say Syracuse upsets the home team ! Al-comers.............................Post your acceptance of my challenge before game time and the bet is on. If SU wins.......you owe me a container of your favorite/local rub or sauce and if by some crazy chance my team loses........I will send you some of our local award winning Dinosaur BBQ rub or sauce. May the best team win!!!!!!!

Yes Sir!!!!!!

Simple also.....even I could make this..........canned blueberry filling of course

That looks REALLY good!!!!!!!

MacKenzie.....................................Curious, How did you cook it???

I own 4 different brands of kamado's including a KJ. Each has a different purpose and I enjoy cooking on all of them. That being said.......I did not enjoy being a member of the KJ Forum and the administration of it. Left them over a year ago and never looked back. I do know some of our KK forum members enjoy the site and the cooking challenges. Like ToastedMorsel....it was not for me.

Forgot to say...........Welcome from Upstate New York!!!!!!

Welcome.........Love my KK but I also have the KJ Jr and the Akorn Jr. Both are nice little cookers. Hang around here and before long you will get the KK fever Everyone welcome here!!

A decent cover will do the trick. We get an average of 12 feet of snow per year and my cover has kept the cooker nice and dry. I do try to cover the cooker while it is still a little warm.

Thanks.................Check out the story below: There is a back story on the name "Old Dog"...........................a good friend of mine, Robin and I co-owned a little 8 lb. Yorkie pup. Jasper. He was a great boater and loved to drink beer. If you put your can down, he would finish it for you. One day, after an afternoon on the water with one of my buddies, his co-owner Robin came to pick him up. When she picked him up in her arms and smelled beer on his breath (I guess we didn't watch him that close),........she started giving my buddy and I the business. At the same time, both my buddy and I said "Bad Dog!!!!!". Robin was not amused but we thought it was hilarious. The next summer I bought a new boat and the re-naming process began. Below is the name and logo the family voted on. Sadly, this June at 15 years old Jasper is no longer with us. Robin, family & friends all agreed that the new name and logo (artists rendering of Jasper) was perfect for the new/old boat. Hopefully in a few weeks, they will be docked next to each other

The Marina Master basically gave it away so he could start charging slip & storage fees.........smart guy!!!

There is a maritime set of "rules" for changing the name on a boat............I "loosely" followed them and drank the bottle of champagne instead of breaking over the front of the boat

I have been a boater ever since I can remember. My dad found me a row boat when I was 3 or 4 years old and I had my first outboard when I was 5 or 6. Grew up across from the Chris-Craft and Gar Wood factories in Algonac, Michigan. I have owned 2 or 3 boats for most of my adult life........operating them on 3 of the Great Lakes & Lake St. Clair, the upper Mississippi River, small lakes in Ohio and now on a nice lake in Upstate New York that is part of the Erie Canal system. When I was in high school, a girlfriends dad had this sweet 35 foot Chris Craft cruiser. I always admired that boat and how it looked on the water. Thought it would be nice to own one some day. Forward 40 years later........................................ Last fall I was exploring an out-barn at our marina and found the exact same boat that I had admired for so long, tucked back in a rear corner covered with dust and bird & raccoon poop. I asked the marina master about it and he told me it was tied up in an estate fight. Didn't give it another thought until this spring when the marina owner told me the family ended up giving him the title for the storage fees they owed. He said I had first dibs to buy it. I told him no.....didn't need another boat!!! Went home, could not sleep, went back the next day and said "OK, How much?" Let's put it this way.........it was less than what I paid for my KK. It is a mess. Needs a ton of work. Was running when it was winterized 10 years ago, before going into the barn. 1960 - 35 foot steel hull - Chris-Craft Roamer cabin cruiser. Twin 283 CI gas engines - small generator. Bottom needs sand blasting & some patches welded. There is some rot in the wood cabin that needs repair. The goal this year is to clean it up, grind bottom rust & prime, paint the bottom, seal the cabin wood, put it in the water, get the engines running and see what major repairs it is going to need going forward. Did paint the transom and put the new name on the boat. Here are some before and after photos.

It never ends.......my first kamado was a Primo JR. Then I bought a Primo XL. Then I bought a 19" KK. Not making that same mistake again......Now I'm saving for a 42" KK

That was funny!!!!

It was great meeting you and I have enjoyed your posts. Best of luck in the future!
