I got two of those...daughters that is.👍

AWESOME==extremely impressive or daunting, inspiring great admiration, apprehension or fear.

I awoke this morning feeling a bit strange, couldn't place a finger on it but now I understand. So, is the swearing in ceremony poolside or are we going to do this remotely.

Tasted good too!

I like it, I really do, it's gotta good beat and I can dance too it.... Sparks a bit under the Mapp but it lights well and flows good keeping a constant temp. Two endorsements, credible, hard to say no.

Here's a new charcoal to me, now I haven't used it yet but, upon opening the bag I noticed a quality in my hand that felt very light and appeared unusally dry. The coal itself was of good size and it had a odd clanking sound or better yet a hollow sound when dropping it into the basket or moving it about in my hands. The only other charcoal I remember having these characteristics was CoCo Char and that burned extremely well. I purchased this bag, the last one standing alone on the shelf because my general standby (B+B) has been letting me down with an abundance of smalls in the bottom of the bags. The packaging of this product was excellent, a good quality brown thick paper, it was squarely shaped, layed flat without any bulges..I thought that odd, it was too perfect. I expect to use it tomorrow on a couple of racks of pork ribs, then I will comment further. On line a 20# bag would cost $37.00 dollars however I purchased this bag for $28.00 at True Value Hardware. So the same bag of B+B is $19.00 and an adequate charcoal as it is, but I'm hoping for South American hardwood quality in an American hardwood blend from Missouri. We'll see tomorrow.

and a very handsome one at that. Hey, that looks like my garden behind you...yesterday I had to wrap it in chicken wire because of a woodchuck robbing me blind. He had a peculair uncanny resemblance to that gopher in Caddyshack. If this doesn't work I got some barb wire in the shed, set some traps too....if I catch the critter I plan on releasing him northeast of here.

Superpowers? Hmmmm, does that mean when I look to the north and see what might be considered as the northern lights I can rest assured it's only C6Bill using these newly aquired powers? Long time coming and a very good idea!

Goldilocks knows a good thing when she sees it. The symmetry is better, not to offend 42 owners...just my opinion

The hardest part maybe putting in the coals and then striking the match. When you close the door on a good quality car you notice a few things, it's quiet smooth transitition and then the click...that's what's inherent in the KK. It keeps you coming back for more and those ribs will certainly do the same.

Was there any doubt? Really!!! All those beautiful tiles and curves...they didn't stand a chance.

The cowboy steak, an impressive hunka meat. There was a break today from the heat and I just cleaned up/touched up the rust on the Santa Maria grill with some sanding and a fresh coat of paint so it needed to be fired up. Seared low at first and then coasted to temp up high, fresh sweet corn (yum) and a few leftovers...pictured is 2nd plate. Additionally is the new fire pit, it's a beast, side to side it's 42 inches, 15 inches deep, 290 lbs and almost 3/4 in thick. It does come with cooking attachments, I'm mulling the thought.

Let the games begin, very nice and you know10 years from now it's going to be looking just as sharp.

Tis the season Generally butter but some like it hot, hot sauce that is. I agree with the thought that pictures are tasteless, however if there's anyone to make it happen my money 's on you.

Sad, but true....as a side thought and on the other side of the coin I'd be interested to know what you might have there that I can't find here

Two different beasts David. Two of these and a beer are close to a meal, clams casino generally are thought of as a smaller appetizer. Right church, wrong pew.

I do believe this fits the topic as to a regional cook/dish, it's somewhat different from a traditional prep because it's having a bit of smoke added in the KK other than prepared in the home oven. Quahogs are a shellfish growing wild along the coast in New England, they are prohibited from harvest unless you purchase a licence from the township/city. The governing towns also replenish the beds for residents as they are continually used. Luckily for me though a friend brought these to my attention from a recent trip he harvested in Falmouth Mass. and they were quickly put into play as stuffers. The quahogs are first cleaned to remove sand or contaminents prior to steaming to ensure nothing enters the shell during this process of opening. Once cooked they are then removed from the shell and rinsed under water as an additional measure. All the quahogs are then processed through a meat grinder for the first step, followed by a French bread loaf stick broken into pieces and gently dipped into the saved quahog broth through the same grinder. A few generous pieces of Linquicia (Portugese sausage) are then run through. A compliment of fresh herb as chive, thyme, parsley along with an assortment of peppers and onion are added then to the mix along with some Old Bay, a spice. They are then stuffed into half shells that were carefully separated as to prevent contaminents and rinsed....your dental work is always present of mind when working around shellfish. Into the KK at 250 (I used a diffuser) until around 160 with a slight crust. Serve with butter, the remainder I froze in freezer vacum bags for microwave use at a later time.

Seems like the perfect dipping bread...it must be

So would I, however we're often interrupted with posts advertising wares/ideas or making suggestions without proper foundation and they're hard to ignore. We all have our direction pointing towards where our thoughts of charity or even mindset of money should go but we generally act act on it independently. He's right to recognise what's obvious but then again as you say he ain't cooked a lick too say so much.

Sweet salmon sounds so seductively sensuous. Romantic rooftop rendezvous? Probably not, looks like you cooked for a few.

Great lookin chicken with perfect color but almost out done by such clean grates you have. And you say,,,better to cook with my dear.

Glad you gave the KK to your daughter and didn't sell it, my daughter wouldn't ever let me live it down. Wishing you the best Bruce....if you lived in NEnglad the coal would be gone in a thought. Chime in on occasion, it's always good to hear from you. Peace

You have the original deflector in the pic...must be ancient days passed bye. Decorative piece, functional too....I like it.

Nicely cut squared pork with a plain weave coat....Sunday dinner?

This is product I stumbled over while searching for a new flavor to add to ribs other than the traditional rubs we use. It involves marinating for a few days with a baste of this product so the flavors can migrate and the salts can work to pull a bit of water out of the meat while sealed in a vacum bag. The technique and demonstration video/cook came from Pitmaster X on Youtube with a search definition into "ribs made with Ketjap Manis." I've made Korean ribs before and liked the results for something different, they do have similarities and was wondering what experience anyone has had with this sauce in applications. So historically this sauce has it's origin in the Thailand where many people contributed in making their own version of this sweet soy sauce using personal recipes. It flourished for some time until as always larger manufactures cornered the market and forced these smaller providers out. This particular one displayed is made in Denmark. Having sugar in the mix presents a small obstacle while cooking in regards to the sugars darkening and/or burning if your heat is too high. The preparation does require a basting finish sauce not very hard too make that sounds very tasty. So...what say you, what you think. The shears are just a local unexpected find at a 2nd hand/antique store, they look and work like new. I thought chicken bone instantly when seeing these and they are basically new sharp working condition, great to remove the backbone. They fold up, have additional tools as a leather man tool, nice find.
