  1. Nice teamwork! Happy birthday to Sharky!
  2. I very much agree with @5698k on this. No offense intended to anyone, but I've been smoking baby back and St. Louis-style ribs on various devices for 40 years and have yet to wrap them (except to keep them warm after the cook). I'm sure the 3-2-1 and 2-2-1 methods work for folks, and indeed may work well, but I've never felt the need to use them. YMMV. 🙂
  3. I’m in the ThermoWorks ecosystem for probes so I use Signals and the Billows fan. Have had no problems with it. I have a set of the wireless probes on order, which integrate in the ThermoWorks app with Signals and Billows fan control.
  4. I’m using one of those Singer bases under my router table.
  5. Beautiful work. I especially like the attention to the grain patterns throughout the piece. Do I see a little craftsman mark above the top shelf in the upper right?
  6. I just use these rubber furniture stops: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LD7GZES/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
  7. Very nice! Looks delicious!
  8. I made prosciutto-wrapped figs with goat cheese and chicken taquitos with Hatch chile pesto last night for dinner. Turned out pretty tasty. I seared the prosciutto figs on the grates then transferred them to a mini roasting pan to finish. Plated with lettuce, cheese, red salsa, and sour cream (for the taquitos, not the figs...)
  9. @Saucier, as the comments of @jeffshoaf and @tony b note, I didn't need an adapter to use the guru port for the hot/cold smoker. I think Jeff's modification would work well with the Billows fan (which I use as well), and I have thought about ordering another air intake plate to adapt it. That said, I think the main benefit of doing the retro version of the dedicated smoker port is to get the benefit of securing affixing the hot/cold smoker cylinder to the KK body. While I haven't had any issues with it moving around (and neither has Jeff, apparently), I very much like the elegance of Dennis's design of the new dedicated port and attaching points for the hot/cold smoker. At some point, I'll overcome inertia and make a decision on which method to use...
  10. On older KKs without the new retrofit kit, when using the hot/cold smoker in the Guru port, it is unsupported. On mine, at least, the bent smoker tube is under enough tension with the weight of the smoker cylinder to resist rotation. That said, I believe some affix a support through the smoker cap handle to ensure it remains vertical (wire to the side table, for example). I need to talk to Dennis to get the retrofit adapter kit and actually fix mine correctly.
  11. I saw the announcement yesterday and am intrigued. I have a couple of Meaters (1st & 2nd get.), but think they are too fussy to use.
  12. I was surprised to see a jar of Brer Rabbit molasses in the background. Rabbits travel far...
