That's true Ckreef, fit to size. Here is something I received as a present for Christmas and although they have been out some time I found these to be of a better quality with thickness being it's interest. I thought Tekebo may like this also but, she may have a pair already. Wouldn't suggest for the Konro since it should remain away from the open flame however the Kamodo style cooking with the controlled air flow makes it a unique. Good to have and may prove useful with a difficult cook. 15 3/4 x 13 in simple black mat are the true size as measured by hand. Aside from the easy clean up you still get grill marks

Did a check, the Quirky skewers are 17 in and SS and on the package an Ohio resident is credited for their invention. That's amusingly funny Tekebo regarding your self control, it's ok, shouldn't break the bank.

NIce cook. May have to make one of those Konro's this spring if I can come up with a feasible design that works and use up some of the refractory pieces I have stored. Anyhow the Skewers are from a manufacturer called Quirky at www.quirky.com. My wife found them for $4.00 somewhere, I don't think that'll happen again. Still sitting in the package, I can see why they are best used on a Konro. A quick and easy clean meal, and it looks nice ta boot. Sorry to add that the site was an invention site you could buy at however my searches turned up lame. Best

Looks great Ckreef, always bringing the next step forward. Good for lazy guys like moi to see. I also spun a rib for Xmas and just used a instant read. I may have taken the temp a few times but never overshot my goal. The KK was already heat soaked and gave a quick time recovery on temp upon closing so any worry about the cook was diminished. The probe is a nice tool, someday I'll be there. Anyhow that looks fantastic.

Sorry Aussie, didn't mean to distract. I was merely piggybacking off Toney's comment. Seriously though, who wouldn't love to be in your position having a great meal by the beach. You lucky dog. The Smoky Poet, couldn't find that little cooker on line..a nice traveling companion for the beach, much better than the one I have. Pray tell any more info

Looks delish. The crayfish must be like lobster I gather, have never partaken but sure would like one of those. Abundant in the south, not so in New England. They look large and tasty, did you fish them outta the creek yourself? Great combo

Gotta agree. Somethin just ain't right...sunny skies, green grass and tank tops, nope just ain't right. Lucky there's two sides to a coin, excuse me while I go and throw another log on the fire.

Definitely a thumbs up on that steak. Did u share? Like that KK's color too

Looking good, well done as if to say "to perfection". Merry Merry

Shiny and sweet, draws me to the table post haste

Merry Christmas Tekebo, hope Santa was kind to you and yours. Keep an eye on Philly, they may yet rise from the ashes. Nah

You set a nice plate however, the pork chop looked soo alone, it being Christmas and all...well he coulda had a friend or just in case someone dropped by. Merry Merry My computer musta got lost. It didn't load the last message, who knows what date I was responding to when I saw your post Toney. Anyhow Merry Merry

Thanks for the video. Now that winters setting in, the time to get out & feel comfortable and then prepare a cook isn't as often as those warmer days. Steve Raichlen fills the void with those interesting cooks and comfortable backgrounds.

Ninja Bruce. Hai.

I knew you'd find the cure, snakebite salesmen are the best. And the neighborhood cats get a reprieve. Oh happy day

Pequod, Now that bread does look good. One thing it"s missing, a side with a good olive oil mixed with a nice parm and some spice, Yes, I'd sure appreciate a slice and I'm sure it's as good as it looks just the way it is.

The longer it stays in the brine the better the penetration. You could try injection of some sort after you remove from the brine for another flavor profile. Personally I would remove some of the skin and use a rub on those areas and leave some on in the area I felt would work with that covering. The wrap is subjective based upon the eye, it's progress, or what it's doing inside the KK and what you want it to look like. It should remain with the juice from a good brining but, wrapping in foil or paper is ok once a nice bark is present. Never wrapped anything in muslim cloth, I would think it acts as a wick and would draw away the juices. Anyway thats a start, an opinion and I'm sure others would approach the cook differently. Anyhow thats what makes it your signature because when it's all said and done your the only one there. Best of luck, you have a good tool to work with

Such a shame Mac, being located a stones throw to some of the best fishing grounds and lobster in the world. I hope your not allergic. Anyhow you do make up for it many times over with the imaginative cooks you plate forward. However, I still find that thought hard to grasp. Excuse me while I wander away for a nice cup of seafood chowder.

Fire action shots look fantastic, yum. Did you bring back any Tequila?

Looks like you and your guests will be extra comfy sitting beneath that structure. Built to entertain. Hey Bruce, I think that's the new outdoor Alexa... you say, play me some smooth jazz Evo and VOILA.

Start earlier and plan to take off long before your guests arrive. You can leave those briskets in the cooler for some time wrapped in foil and towel for awhile and they should fair well. Briskets can be a funny lot and sometime are difficult pushing the envelope on time. That"s what I would do and have done in the past. Choice vs prime, I find the prime cooking faster for some reason...but they stay easily 3 or 4 hrs in the cooler. You should do well,... time, temp and size are all variables, easily planned for if you've previously cooked them as you have, just give yourself some space. Good luck

See you jumped right into the rotisserie and spun yourself a couple of nice lookin chickens. Still admire that putting zone

With Ma in her kerchief and I in my cap. we just settled down for a long winters nap. Hey, those railing supports seem to give a Little Mediterranean flavor to corn country in Iowa. Any Dire wolves in the area?

I remember you going some time ago Toney and I wished you well with the pour. Nice to know. I asked the question regarding the plastic ball in the Guinness can while on tour in the factory and it was explained as element helping to recharge the process that is introduced generally at the tap. Nitrogen infusion. Ahh, a work of art that creates a smooth beer. It won the award for the best invention for that year. Seems to be a small hole in the plastic ball introduces pressurised gas after the can is opened thus starting the tiny bubble beer explosion. Taste good to me.
