One can never have enough toys to play with.....nice score!!!!

Yum. yum.....what a perfect looking crust!!!

I believe this is the perfect section for this post..................................... This weekend I cooked my first pizzas on the KK with the new grill shaped baking stone. Our Wegman’s grocery store makes fresh pizza dough, so I thought I would try that first. We made basic pepperoni pies. Used the parchment paper like I have seen others do on this forum. I did treat & season my new pizza stone to fill-in some low spots but left the parchment paper on during the pizza cook just to make sure it didn't stick. Wasn’t sure what temp to cook at, so I followed the oven temp directions on the dough package........400F/204C. Preheated everything and tossed the first pie on. Followed the time directions also and checked at the end of the suggested cooking time. I was amazed….the crust was golden brown and all the topping were nicely melted and bubbling. I ran the first pizza up the stairs and threw the second pie on the KK. When I got back upstairs the crew had dug in, so I didn’t get a picture of the pizza. No problem….I’ll snap a photo of the second one. After the same allotted time, I pulled the 2nd pizza off the KK with the same great results. Slid the pizza, still on the parchment paper, off the grill onto my fancy new wood pizza peel, spun around to set it down on a bench for the picture ……holy crap….that parchment papers works great………………the pizza took off flying into the air and landed face down on the garage floor!!!!!! It had leaves, sticks, dirt and dust embedded in the cheese. Rats and double rats!!!!!!!! Probably should have taken a photo of the perfectly done crust, staring up at me from the floor but I ran upstairs and made sure I got another piece of the first pizza before it was gone. . Told the crew the second pizza was burnt and was no good….Ha! They thought I was sandbagging them, so I could keep the pizza for myself!!!! I was forced to admit my butterfingers moment and had to show them the “dirty pizza”. Needless to say….I was the butt of the jokes all night long. Do have to say it was fun despite the mishap. Looking forward to the next pizza cook!

Great name!!!!!!

Wolfgang.......Congratulations!! I have a small wisk-broom and dust pan that I use after taking the charcoal basket out. Works great for me.

You might lose your electric power and have no other way to heat up the baby food or warm the milk bottles...................................................

Now that I have the baking stone, I'm paying attention .......................... Is that parchment paper? Did you leave it on for the entire cook??

Look what the nice UPS person showed up with today...................Christmas in October . Been slacking all summer on my KK cooks but really looking forward to spinning some larger chunks of protein, roasting up some ribs and trying a couple pizzas this fall & winter. Rookie question...............do I need to season the baking stone? (guess I should have been paying better attention to the pizza threads ). Too much fun!!!!!

The marbling in that meat is crazy nice. Wonderful job cooking (and eating) the steak!!!!!

Yum! (The KJ Jr. is a nice little backup cooking machine).

Bruce........Aussie Ora sends these beautiful pictures of water, boats, sand and sunshine through out our winter months. Giggling the entire time!!!

Not funny Aussie Ora!!! We had our first hard frost yesterday morning.

Just saw this......Ours prayers for the family and Susan!!!!!

Dang Aussie............I would weigh 500 lbs if I lived at your house!!!!!!

That terra blue is super sharp looking!!!

Looks twenty times better than the pizza I had for lunch!!!!!

If you have not seen a KK in person..........you are in for a big treat. Unpacking is an adventure in fun!!! Congrat's

Good news! Redhead Sue's ice maker in a top-of-the-line refrigerator quit working & flashed a code on the display and she called for warranty service. I waited for the service guy to show up and talked to him while he was working on it. He told me that all the gears inside her ice maker were plastic and just one small ice jam can strip all the teeth off of them. And they don't sell the replacement parts. He had to replace the entire unit in his personal refrigerator because no parts were available. He said it was very sad as ice jams are very common. Sue lucked out only because she didn't try to use the ice maker when the code started to flash. He was able to clean it out and reset the shutoff sensor. She also had a code flashing for the "outside ambient temp sensor". He recommended not doing anything about it, as it would require replacing the main computer board, which was not under warranty.............$1,000!!!!!! Not a nice way to mess with people's pocketbooks..................................................

ckreef....................Everyone used to compliment my father on what a good photographer he was and how all his pictures were perfect. When I got my first camera, I asked him what his secret was. He told me he threw out all the crummy pictures and only showed people the good ones!!! (Great memory......)

God must have needed some help..............................that is how I cope with loss like yours!

On my utility trailer, I disconnected the trailer from the car, raised the tongue, blocked the rear of the trailer and it leveled out the ramp angle quite a bit . FYI

Very, very nice!!! Congratulations!!!

Way to crank up all the engineers Bosco!!!!!! Having been an Industrial Engineer in a former life and after doing a time study on Bosco's foil method vs. the deflector stones,..................... I have come to the professional conclusion................ that the foil methodology is a "heck of a lot easier" (technical talk). PS - Almost afraid to see what Syzygie will say about this

MacKenzie should be the co-instructor!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting.........always nice to put a face with the forum members!!!!!!
