I haven't tried to work on my hinge because it works so well and closes as it should. If I ever did and approached this, I would look at it and assume because it is affixed with two nuts that it may detachable. I don't believe that is a weld on each side, it may be a solder and a sharp tool could snap that. The bottom catch is a piece made to move up and down for tightening the lid dome to the gasket for a better seal, not side to side for a hinge adjustment, it is fixed as I look at it , unless there may be a bit that allows the hole diameter to move a fracation within that setting to move side to side. That would mean an oversized hole, other than that those two posts are fixed. That slope in the pic shows the hinge off center, you can see a twist on the right, if it was working perfectly before, it shouldn't have changed unless altered. This is my hinge. Show the pics to Dennis as stated and I would imagine he would describe how to replace or fix the top hinge. You could drill out the holes on the catch assembly to slide left to right, for the 1/16 but that's a hack.

It's a humongous beauty, think your gonna love it.

Guess you had your MOJO workin for ya on that cook.

No problem with that, taking advantage of that is within the rules, your helping people through some hard times, many businesses are becoming creative to stay afloat. Stock away Pequod, dig a root cellar for more room

Pickled lamb tongues, I'm sure you can Google up a recipe Basher and then you'd have them in the frig as a snack every time you crack a beer. I remember growing up in a mixed ethnic oriented city and as a by product of that, this particular treat was always sitting on the shelf at your local watering hole with pickled pigs feet and eggs. I couldn't tell you which nationality had the greater propensity to be most attracted to these but, if I were inclined to decide they would be speaking French. So go ahead........who doesn't like a good pickle.

Looking at the post that follows to your handle you can definitely see a slope from right to left. If it were me I'd take that latch off and correct it slightly in a vise, it appears your only off by 1/16. Definitely have Dennis see that, he may send you a new upper half. Did you move it or bump it? Regardless, easy fix

Sounds a little bit like prohibition, before you know high speed boats will be running up and down the coast avoiding the coast guard and you'll be meeting with people in dark alleys buying the latest brew. Who woulda knew. You can always make your own, ask Toney for the recipe, although he guards it closely and it may be locked in his vault, under the circumstances I believe he would share

One thing is the charcoal, last week I came home from the store with a 34LB bag and found when I opened it the small pieces you generally find on the bottom of the bag as being the common denominator throughout the whole bag. They were for the most part 1-2 inch pieces. So when you organize your basket take care to chose a mixture that will give you a good air flow otherwise climbing to temp may be slow.

That's looking pretty nice, you must be thinking who lives here, I don't recognize this place. Non slip surface, how is it on bare feet?

Is the plan to make flour from that? That would encompass a mill in there somewhere. Just curious.

Good luck mate. Stand tall....the wind will change direction soon

Not a chance, never offended and sorry you looked at it that way. I was trying to point out that this little device was the tool for many applications . I was trying to distance myself and be funny about it, oh well, missed the mark on that. For you Tekebo it would be the best, fill it and set it, fire it in your Santa Maria and simply pour it out without any handling issues. Makes a great fire bed. No worries on both ends

Cajun spice Duck and a mix of spices on these ribs that included cajun, hot, and sweet. Finished with a sweet carolina BBq sauce. Pics of the barrel in action. I heard lots of smoke kills any virus. OOps. sorry Tekebo posted this in the wrong aisle thought it was the Misc cookin I'll erase it tomorrow

That would be one item most people would overlook, it's complicated to most and readily available on the next aisle over. Cudo's to you for finding your treasure

I like it, and so the delivery is quick, to the point it's directed. The point being is with a trap door the expectation is to move the cannister with that shelf secured to another destination and drop it or release it there. Simple. You know,.... I live in a cold climate, manage multiple stoves from October - April and have many smokers for pleasure, I thought this piece was a comfortable introduction, a unit many would use or recognize for an applied value. If you don't see it, no problem, we'll find something else to try. I appreciate your comment Syzygies and Tekebo's and also relish in the aftermath, I enjoy the banter, the fight or simply an exchange, yah,... that's all. I'll be back

Tekebo, the purpose of this tool is about convenience, one hand, easy to move, create the amount you want, starts with paper and easy to disburse. If your using the KK for that purpose I believe you would find this tool productive. Change is hard, once cemented in it's hard to break out, did I mention it's cheap. (relatively) For an Argentine grill it's a must. Think I'll stick on my secluded path and if I come across these easy life products that make life simpler we'll just have to look for a more receptive audience. I was going to tell you about the new grate cleaner that works wonders but, that will have to remain under my hat. Simple as dat

In a perfect world Toney, I haven't looked but I fear that is asking a bit much. How about a compromise, sliding two flat bars underneath to have it sit upon the handles for balance and when done it would be an easy one hand extraction. Hey, just trying to fill in the blanks.

Indeed. I'd have it on my opening computer screen, that's until the kids complain.

A wooden deck only adds to the excitement Mac however, taking the necessary precautions by having some water around, stationing the chimney as it comes to life on the bottom grate of your KK and putting on some nice kevlar gloves minimize all that worry. Besides all you have to do is squeeze the handle and it drops out from the bottom, all self contained.

Today I was at Tractor supply looking for some needed items and noticed this charcoal chimney on the shelf. What set this particular one apart from the standard chimney was it's trapped door to release the charcoal as opposed to pouring or turning the chimney to remove the hot coals. When using my offset I pour the lit coals into the fire box to establish a coal bed and simply add wood on top to hasten a nice fire. Everyone has their own way of starting the fire, using a mapp torch or some solid igniter firestarter to move the process along. Up to this point I haven't used the chimney method in the KK to start the fire because it's been clumsy and cumbersome and I lacked the space but seeing this trap door version I think I may take another look. Anything to cut some time off the preheat. Now it does take a little while to get a roaring chimney but I'm thinking once it's dropped into your basket that time will be considerably reduced. This method should only be considered by those who are comfortable holding a fire...although this trap door makes things simpler and safer.

I like mine with raisins and sprinkles and of course some butter

Mohogany, my favorite color. Brisket's like a good soup.....it's better the following day. Yum

A lazy Sunday afternoon on the other side of the world. Chuck roast with Eats Barbecue Rub and Chicken with Morrocan spice

And you will, be posting soon.

It appears to have been a gorgeous day the way way the sun was shining on your plate. That's how ya do it
