I had the other oven {ceramics] for cooking and was at the same crossroad you were at considering an efficient pizza oven. Should I build one of vermiculite myself and have a stationary oven in an area for all time or buy the KK which offers the same features plus so much more. The option of moving my oven to any location reasonably well was also important to me and the KK fulfilled that requirement. The answer was quite obvious to me for many reasons, it does pizzas and everything else you throw at it, an easy decision for me. I've made two pizza's this week with regular flour, nice and even crust on the bottom and no burn on the top. A 3 minute pizza is fast, expect a longer cook time on the KK, but the results will please. Oh, use the parchment paper. If I recall my conversation with Dennis he mentioned the vermiculite was the component outside the refractory, that kinda sold me because it was all I needed. Of course we all look down the road and think to ourselves just how long will this last, well for me, I'm a happy owner. On this site there are people with a wealth of knowledge and have owned their KK's much longer than me, and from reading this sites history I expect the same destiny for myself. If your looking for a quality piece, pick a color, start cookin.

No sweat Mines so dark you might think it was an abyss. Cookin today Bruce, keepin him warm, but he's gone to have to stay outside. Guard duty, you know

Touche'

I'm with Pequod on the two zone, it is a definite advantage. I have a 23, and not for a moment regret making that choice, I haven't used all the applications, methods and such with the KK yet because they are endless. With whatever choice you arrive at, that obsession will become larger but on the other side, your wife will like you all the more because of all the tasty treats your making. Good luck

Looks tasty, yummy and delish. Is it a local ham smoked on the preimises or something different. Sorry.

I hope she has "a good go of it" as you say

Yes sir, Got the same conditions you had and I'm warming up the KK now for a rack a ribs. I keep that baby humming most of the time, I'm just not a person that takes a lot of photos. I know I just committed a big one, but that's how it is. Let me ask you though, the inside of my grill is all black, it stays black even after a pizza cook, now that doesn't bother me, it's just how come I see a lot of KK pics with nice clean white insides? Something I'm doing wrong

AWWW SHUCKS

You put that spice on the chicken pretty thick. That's ok cause everything looks so good. Tell me, can you speak Cajun now .

Builds character! Maybe tomorrow Bruce, I'm beat.

Unbeknownst to ya'll, theres a blizzard a blowin out there. But the beast { Colossus } sits contentedly in his house waitin for his duty call and I have a date with a snowblower. Hope your day is going well, Pip Pip ol Chap

They do look handsome

They do handsome, no skull and crossbones labels

Thanks again, I'll wear rubber gloves, you weren't settin me up for a fall were you.....lol

Hello Mac, Scarlett O'Hara grew up on Tara, is she the girl you may be referring too. Pip Pip ol Gal Is it snowing where your at yet

I question and say to myself, "Just how hot can they be?" Inquisitive minds are dangerous sometime. I'll certainly take the warning, "VERY HOT" seriously next time. And ya know I was serving this to my guests so I had to gauge it as to it's potency, didn't want to add too much. It's a terrible web them peppers weave, all pretty in color and meant to deceive. Cheerio, do they say that anymore

Thanks, the heat kinda disappeared in the marinade I made and came together with all the other ingredients so it's not so imposing. As far as drying or saucing, I may have to toss a coin.

GO! SAINTS!

Certainly looks good, was that towards the rare side, unsure of the pic.

I see what you mean! Luckily never got there. Anyhow I bought a bundle of these devils and only needed a couple, can I freeze them or are they trash. TY

Beautiful!!! Komodo Kamado Tsunami.

I was making a sauce for Jerk Chicken wings and had to buy some Habernaros. Now I'm not a pepper officiado at all, so I gave it bite, they looked so nice and orange and all. Let me tell ya Purple crack don't stand a chance next to this demon. Although it does warm the lips for a 1/2 hr or so, and don't scratch your nose cause it spreads, could be good for the chapped lips.

Keeping warm by continually running two pellet stoves, out to the store every day to replenish the supply. I was thinking if all those bags of pellets I have were lump coal I'd never have to worry, be set for life.

Hope to take you up on the invite soon Ed but this weather is crimping my style and everyone elses. Sounds as if you have the same type of kettles as I and been at it around the same length of time. I find it enjoyable and look forward to go out and cook something on those beasts but the pleasure is truly in offering. Happy New Year

That looks delish. All very comforting foods
