Okay, MacKenzie. Amazon just dropped off my IMS E61 Precision Group Shower Screen so I had to try it out. For @Sharky, this now makes the third tweak to my R58 (red Cafelat Silicone gasket, VST basket and aforementioned shower screen). I just had the best shot I have made with this machine. I'm very happy right now (and wide awake). Thanks MacKenzie!

Like others here, I bought the original Meater. Very disappointed in the range so it has been in the box ever since. Finally, the company provided a Meater+ “upgrade” option to the original Meater crowd to purchase a new Meater+ charger and range extender at a discount. I just received mine this week but won’t try it until the weather improves. I am hopeful the extended range will work in my situation. Typically I use the Thermoworks Smoke for remote monitoring since I already have lots of probes (really, LOTS of probes) from my various Thermoworks devices. But, as Tony notes, the Meater is the only thing which will work on a rotisserie.

We are on the same page, MacKenzie. I replaced the gasket with silicone a few months ago. I’ll check out the Competition shower screen. Thanks.

After reading Pequod’s reports, I re-energized my espresso making, ordering a VST precision filter basket for my Rocket. Now calibrating grind and flow but it so far seems a worthwhile addition. However, I have to make a bean run today as I went through quite a few yesterday. The last shot was a definite improvement from what I have been accustomed to making. I think it’s good to periodically step away and approach a technique or habitual behavior anew and refreshed. Thanks, Pequod, for the nudge. And this new KK Shoping Channel excursion was only $29. Pretty cheap for this neighborhood.

Beautiful. Yes, enjoy the white while it lasts.

That is an impressive machine!

You have leftover wine?

I have lots of fond memories of my Grandmother making gooseberry cobbler after I picked a bucket of gooseberries. She said "use all the sugar they would hold, then just a little bit more."

@Sharky Welcome! I use an R58 as well. It's morning here; time for another double shot.

All this coffee talk made me make a double espresso.

I always use ckreef's lighting method from his post above about hot/cold smoker and blueberries. It works every time (with the wood pellets he recommended). I haven't tried it with wood chips since I bought a bunch of the pellets and it works well with them.

They offer a Komodo model!

Don't forget Shuley and skreef!

Good thinking. They would probably have tried to confiscate the ribs (at least I would have) if you had let them near... Ribs look terrific. Half a foot of snow here so will have to thaw out some vac-sealed ribs from the freezer if I am to have ribs anytime soon.

That is quite a kit!

I also use this. Especially on the cold smoker, which has many areas hard to access otherwise.

The shipping crate art is just another little extra one receives with a new Komodo Kamado. An amuse-bouche, if you will...

Same as Pequod for grilling. For smoking, I use KK coconut left over from my big orders when I bought my grills. I am using it sparingly, hoping Dennis gets the availability solved before I run out...

There is (was?) a picture in the gallery on the retail KK site which shows a 23 cooking at around 350°F with at least two inches of snow (unmelted) on the dome. Although I had finished a fair bit of research about the grills by then, that was the deciding point of purchase for my first Komodo Kamado.

Wonderful!

We had a good time exploring the wall photos trying to identify the various games and puzzles. I love the buffalo head indicators on the pool table.

Congratulations and welcome!

Well, it's still a bit early here for me to drink whisky (or whiskey, either). Now wine, that's another matter entirely... Anyway, here is the Death Star, planet destroyer disc facing upper left.

I have a couple of Star Wars "Death Star" ice cube molds from my brother...

Very good work, indeed.
