Look at Aussie's recent tab of Road Kill. He just did a chicken with the pan below without a deflector. The veggies looked good

Two very fine looking meals, oh yah. The plates are reminiscent of warmer days. Nothing like cutting to the chase

The long and winding road. The Beatles

Like the way it turned out. At first glance I thought you had the veggies on the bottom rack near the fire and I thought how can that be but the second look proved it was just a mirage. Good lookin chicken.

Why not lay some pellets or chips on some foil in your KK as your in the pre -heating process? I have seen people using offsets laying wood on top of the fire box and using pre]-burnt wood in an adjacent fire to keep clean smoke going. Theory's the same, lowering the Kindling temp or auto ignition temp is what your after for a continuous burn. That's my two cents, just a thought

That does look good

Nice pics all around. Love the cherry, turns your meat into a dark experience and the shadowy Shiraz compliments a fine place setting

Not that memory Bruce! I think Mac meant that the last time she saw green grass was in November,,,,,,,,you being a California native and all just read about it in the papers or on CNN. Have a warm day and easy does it on the sunscreen.

Congrats on both events. What a great setting, the neighbors are gonna be jealous. What the heck, let em.

Think he would make a great Prime Minister given the chance, today

Some people collect guns, some collect old bottles, and then there's some that collect pans. Check these two out I recently came by. From 19th century no teflon on these, strictly for decoration around the pit.

Very impressive looking, the dark knight. Hey ahhh, was that green grass and a yellow tulip in the background and leaves on the trees in your pictures? Seem to remember them, vaguely...must be nice. Best of luck, it's a beauty

A nice looking bird, great on the plate. By the way the snow came east and just now heading into the garage to fire up the blower. Don't forget to share, bet there were a few friends at your ankles while you were carving up that leg.

Spicy pork chops, good idea..have to keep that one in the rolodex under hot

Let the good times roll

That size would be great on a BLT. Pretty as the picture, nice color. Would I be amiss if I were to say add a shot of your favorite bourbon to some real maple syrup to come close to the manufactured?

That sure looks like a tasty meal. Great combo

Nice looking cook, well presented.

Nice choice in colors, deep and rich, mysterious and cunning. Seems you did your homework, remarkable work to date. Can we all come over when it's done?

The weather broke and rose to 50 degrees so I thought I'd clean out the inside and give it a second assessment. Well one thing turned into another and I ended taking the tub out because I wanted to see what was behind it as far as insulation was concerned. Didn't think anything was there when I tapped on the wall but a hollow sound. The reveal showed otherwise with styrafoam as a liner. The wooden top structure was screwed down but came up way too easy showing alot of dry and weak wood. Biscuit joinery was employed holding the sides and legs together so that being said,,,it's just easier to replace anything in question, it's all apart anyhow.

While rummaging through a few old boxes I found these. The cooler had a old Samuel Adams opener on the left. Yours with the white backdrop is unique, I have one new still in the box with original screws and an old used one. Thought I'd show you and may I mention a nice clock also.

If not that a half lap with glue and a few screws or a set of shoes to sit in may suffice.

Use to have a Ford 6.0 Turbo diesel powerstroke, put a ton of pellets in the bed and it would be hard to notice. Even pulled stumps with it on occasion but those rigs are in a class all their own.

Thanks. Seems there are quite a few that appreciate a good piece of treasure and find reason to repurpose them. I think a good wash is 1st with the power washer to get a better look especially within the cavity and then the legs would have to be cut, pegged and glued because of the extensive rot. I would like to replace the legs altogether but, I am unsure how they are fastened and if those secure points are behind the galvanized inner box as they appear to be. A seam showing the extension is not a first choice no matter how fine. Anyhow it looks to be a tricky endeavor, will post in the spring.

Sometime when it rains, it pours. $35 a familiar number. That's a nice thermometer
