Still not working for you @5698k?

Test to see if Tapatalk is working without issues

Sorry guys, having a number of issues when i enable the plugin. Not sure of the root cause yet, but im working on bringing it back for you all. Please stand by.

Hi All, The site has been upgraded to the latest maintenance release. No new features just some issues and security fixes. As always, please post back if you notice any issues. :) Cheers.

Thanks for all the replies here. As it seems some people still use the software, we will continue to maintain it as best we can. This of course will depend on Tapatalk keeping their plugin updated. Appreciate the time taken to vote and write back.

Hi All, Quick poll to see if Tapatalk is still required for this forum? With the recent lack of support from the Tapatalk team to get their plugins upgraded in a suitable time, i am wondering if this is still required for this forum or can the mobile skin be used in place of it? We will always prioritise security updates over features, and with the lack of support from Tapatalk (on IPB), I am questioning whether we should still be supporting this software on the forum. Wouldn't mind hearing from some of the members here around the use of Tapatalk. Thank you.

Awesome mate, looks killer. Can smash out one of them every weekend Great sunda arvo feed. You running at around 250F or so naked the whole way?

All good @BonFire, i have cleaned up the doubles for you

The Tapatalk plugin has been disabled as it is causing issues on the new v4.3 site software. We will have to wait till the Tapatalk developers update their plugin to the new v4.3 software. According to this support post: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tapatalksupport/tapatalk-for-ipb-4-3-x-t39863.html It is in the works. So should only be a few days until it can be re-enabled. During the mean time, you should browse to the site and use the mobile friendly skin. Any issues please let me know. Cheers

Hi All, First off apologies for the issues over the past few days. There was a failed upgrade of the site (not by myself) and we have been recovering from that issue. It looks like we are good to go. There was a big code uplift from v4.2 to v4.3 and a huge change in the code for the theme too. This caused a few things not to play nice. Looks like we are ahead of those now. The theme needs a little bit of work (colour wise), but I will find tune that over the next few days. As always please post here if you are seeing any issues. Cheers.

@tony b, im having a look at it right now for you mate. Looks to be an issue with the skin. Will update back here once a new skin has been applied so people can test.

Awesome @Aussie Ora. What temp you let them ride at? Also do you put a deflector in or just use the foil under them like you can see in the pic.

Thanks @ckreef. Appreciate the feedback and I would love to offer more colour schemes, however I haven't had a chance to come up with alternative colour schemes (they are very time consuming to get them correct and looking nice). The colours we are using at the moment @DennisLinkletter had someone put together (pretty sure thats correct), and I have just maintained them throughout the uprgades. As soon as I can get a new colour scheme made up it will be deployed. I have not been dodging your request for this

Hi All, Small update for the forum today. This is to address some security bugs that have been found and are now patched. As usual, please post here if you you notice any issues. Cheers

Oh why am i only seeing this post now @Aussie Ora! haha. How have you been doing them sense? Have you had another go? I quite often do pork belly on the KK. I am doing one tonight in fact. Like you mentioned, cutting too deep through the skin will not work well for crackle. Cutting just enough is the trick. I am not so organised these days and dont get around to salting it the night before. I do however pour boiling hot water over the rind before i salt it before putting it onto the KK. The trick is to cook it enough, but not too much so the meat is ruined. Id much rather have a good cook on the meat than the best crackle you can cook with over cooked meat.

haha, only virtual beer available here Cheers mate.

Nice one mate, the 32" is a weapon of a BBQ/Kamado!! you will love it.

No problems at all @Bruce Pearson

Hi All, The site has just been upgraded with the latest security patches. No new features in this release, just a fix for some security holes. Please post below if you notice any issues. Thank you.

wow, thats a huge cook!! nice job there. The 32 is just such an awesome beast

No that looks like a good steak there @Aussie Ora. Nice job. I gotta try one of those myself

I am too a super early MEATER Block backer. Its been almost 2+ years or something like that when i backed them.... haha. It looks like they are slowly getting their act together, so fingers crossed we have it by Christmas. I have put off buying any other probes as it seems they are getting closer. I hope the product lives up to the expectation, as i hate probe cords. @tekobo, great thread here. Its been a good journey to this point, i cant wait to see what you end up getting and see some pics from the first few cooks. I love seeing things come together like they have for you both. I am one of those minority that do use the double bottom drip pan. I use it for my low and slow only. I find its super easy to use as a deflector and just sit the foil trays on top of it. It fills the size of my 32 perfectly and saves me stuffing around with foil if i dont have the time. However if price is a concern, i would throw it into the optional basket over a few other options you have put on the to buy list. However if money is not a problem, i do find it useful. Definitely get the spit rod attachment. This is something i use all the time and like others said, its a really nice way to spin a chook. Great flavour when they are dripping over the coals I find.

Hi All, Small upgrade today. This update is to fix an important security vulnerability. No other changes were made. Please post a reply here if you notice any issues. Cheers.

+1 for the 32"

Thanks for the update. Interesting that you had to manually change it to the new theme, i thought i did a global change for that. I will go check that now
