Jon B.

Congratulations on the new grill! Great story...........I also graduated from a couple black ovals (which I still use) to the KK. Enjoy!!!!!

Holy Mackerel FastGlass...................you don't mess around!! Sweetness is two 32's!!!!!

What the heck.........................HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dennis!!!!!!

On a balmy 54*F day with 25 mph winds, I was wearing a winter hat when I fired up the 19" TT for the first marina cook. Heat soaked the KK at 375* for an hour and threw in some beer bread. (top shelf with the factory SS pan as a heat shield below) 60 minutes later..................... Since the grill was hot...........we threw on some boneless-skinless chicken thighs seasoned with a generic chicken seasoning......................... Bread was excellent..............chicken would have been better cooked directly over the fire (left the drip pan in the cooker). Paired them up with some sweet corn. All-in-all.........a decent dinner on a freezing cold June day !!!!!

Way To Go Mr &Ms. Reef!!!!!!

Don't know what is more beautiful...the grill or your location? Enjoy!!!

First a little explanation...........for the last ten years I have lived on a boat in the summer time, on a small lake north of Syracuse that is part of the Erie Canal system. You can reach Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and the Hudson River from our lake. I do most of my cooking during the summertime at the marina. When I bought the KK last fall, I moved it to my friend Sue's house for the winter. Yesterday was the big moving day to take Mac to the marina. I built a cart to hold the grill so i could cook on it this winter. I put some small caster wheels on it, so that it could be wheeled in and out of the garage. That set up worked great. So now it is spring and it is time to think about the logistics of how I'm actually going to move the KK to it's summer home. I come up this plan to change the small caster wheels to big honking pneumatic off road tires. With these tires I will be able to roll the grill & cart up the landscaping trailer ramp and then back down and across the grass at the marina. I purchase them and mount the new tires on the cart. Yesterday being moving day..................I strap the grill to the dolly, line it up with the landscaping trailer ramp, give the caster dolly tire a kick to straighten it out and I hear air escaping from the tire I just kicked. Mister coordination somehow managed to kick and break the valve stem on the tire. WTH????????? OK....now I have a flat tire. Time for plan B!!!!!! I drop the trailer ramp, line up the listing grill with the surface of the trailer and push the KK off the dolly onto the trailer. Get it to the middle of the trailer and strap the heck out of it. With the grill secured to my liking, I take off for the 15 mile trip with a stop at Tractor Supply to buy a new caster tire for the dolly. I luck out and they have the matching tire, so I complete the drive to the marina. I switch the flat tire with the new tire and reverse the process of off loading the grill on to the dolly. The off-loading goes without a hitch and the grill & dolly travel the 40 feet to the grill tent without a problem (two people will be much better next time around). Push the unit up a little ramp onto the pallet platform and get the KK in place. I mount the dolly on blocks to get the weight off the tires and level the grill. Plan to build a skirt around the bottom to keep the sun off and make it look finished. I bought some plastic seats with storage to hold the grill accessories and they fit perfectly under the side tables. Will even open with out hitting the tables. My anti-theft cover.................disguising the KK as a Char-Broil The grill tent overview. And....................... Finally, Mac's view at her new home. First cook is Wednesday night........baking some bread and smoking some beef ribs. Looking forward to a great BBQ summer!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to look!!!

Excellent cook!!!!

Welcome Shuley!!! I still marvel at how nice the KK's look in person and the performance is even better. Have fun and enjoy your new cooker!

I LOVE rhubarb pie.........................Yum, yum!!!!!

Mama Mia.....That's a one-a tasty looking pizza pie!!!!!

I have the same problem with mixed drinks. 1:4 Booze to water...............................any stronger and it is hard on my liver!!!!

Our crate was for a 19" table top model. They did not have to alter/cut the crate, as it was at perfect woriing height - FYI

Our humming birds showed up this weekend also!!!!!i

Ken, Wonderful cooks and pictures........you have been busy. I do have to say your statement above (in bold & underlined) made me smile.....you are one of the most eloquent forum members on all of the BBQ sites you participate on.......stop being so modest and brag a little about your great cooks!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

You sure have the rib cook nailed down...........they look great!!!!!

I wonder if Tastefully Simple makes one step pizza dough?????? (Jon) (MacKenzie)

After carefully reading and studying all of MacKenzie's bread making tips plus all the other forum member posts on bread making .................................here is the precision beer bread recipe entry that got me kicked out of her bread making class............................................ MacKenzie's Beer Bread Recipe Drink one beer and then pour another beer into a bowl. Open another beer. Add secret bread mix to bowl being careful not to spill more beer into bowl Set beer down and stir mixture with fork for 30 seconds. Take a drink of beer and then perform second kneading of mix with fork for 10 seconds. Ignore lumps but make sure you are well hydrated. Dump mixture in greased bread pan. Pour melted butter on top. (If out of butter, substitute beer) Stick into 375* oven for about 3 more beers Remove from oven to let cool. (try to remember to use pot holders when removing pan from oven) After placing bread on cooling rack, break off decent sized piece and add 2 tablespoons of butter and burn roof of mouth tasting it. Grab beer and try to cool down the flap of skin hanging from roof of mouth. While preparing the rest of the meal, tear off a couple more hunks and add more butter. Wash down with more beer. Carry half eaten loaf to dinner table. Sit down to dinner. Just stare at food because the bread & beer has started fermenting in your stomach. Manage to eat but then cuss out loud, because you just remembered that you forgot to take a picture of the bread with all the other food before you ate everything. Take picture of your sorry looking, tore up, remaining loaf of bread. Post on forum,
