Symmetry better known as Goldilocks, just right.

Ingenious Alphabet Soup, too much. I like IDC, BTW is a must, and STFU definitely. How about KMT (kiss my turkey/toosh) Happy Thanksgiving.

Burnchar, as far as I'm aware the 23 Ultimate has a backside door for the gas element or at least mine has one in my 2017 model. From what I saw, there are two inset posts set within the mortar base to accept the gas unit and hold it in place . Check to see if those posts are in position on yours or simply if you have the door that's needed to move the unit into place. These posts are drop down and not threaded for convience of removal. If you were to use this to pre-warm the grill the gas unit could be easily removed and you could convert to coal if this was your intention. I presume the unit's function though was to cook separately from coal so the regular cleaning involving ash wouldn't be a factor. You would most likely remove the gas unit when switching back to coal and then reposition the door back in place, this would be necessary because of the gas line in the doorway. Using some kind of deflector for food particles might be an issue though, however easily remedied

Very portable that Weber and it does the job. The Paella pan was bigger than the Weber, so tell me was there a brave soul that fished out all that Cornwall seafood for the cook?

Creative, but where are the peas?👍

Color and bend for me, it's all visual. Temp is generally around 275 if I'm not in a hurry or pressed for time, they're done when their done, never cook with a method. My eyes are my best ally it tells the whole story. Nice looking ribs btw.

I follow the same method, charring first and let ride to temp, easy peasy. The frig trick/ smart idea, however I shoot for side to side pink color so I'm always riding on the side of caution, a little burn is fine for me. Somewhere buried out in the hills north of San Fran there's a road side tri tip sandwich place I've seen on You tube some time ago, It's on my bucket list if ever get out there again. Maybe someone here knows the place and been, like to know their experience

One came off the grill having rubbed it up with Watkins Mesquite rub and a slight char for optics. To tell you the truth after having choice many more times than Prime I find no greater difference other than the prime was much moister. Taste was on par but not significantly so that it was measurably better than choice, it could have been just this particlar piece but I've had so many other choice pieces that were very good that I see no reason to abandon the standard. I didn't prepare it or cook it any differently, however I noticed as you might in a prime brisket is that the meat can be more forgiving because it holds moisture better. You can achieve the same results with choice, you just have a shorter window. So I find it juicier but not any tastier, and with this in mind at least for this grade of meat as a Tri tip I'll have no worries holding pat with choice.

Handsome chickens, a lot of chicken...I seem to recall you have a large doggie. Whenever I pulled a feast like that off the grill there'd be dancing feet by my side until a slip fell from the corner of the table.

I can see a model holding this loaf walking down the runway.That's one good looking loaf, it even has a collar or is it a shawl? Bread the sustenance of life, that's art my friend.

And I had two to choose from Toney, this one being the one more ornate. $20, I didn't even bargain/

Any butcher shop is a good start or like I said, ring the bell at the grocer and ask away. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. I don't know how far you are west in Pa, but The bearded Butchers of a You Tube renowned meat cutting channel is just on the other side of Akron in Creston, however if you think of it as a challenge the problem becomes a game.

Following up on a comment Paul had posted with regards to Tri Tip meat quality got me to thinking I should see if I could find a Prime piece of Tri at a relatively good price, a challenge so to speak.. By chance a market in the area was having Prime on sale for $9.99, an exceptional price for the quality. Generally I purchase Choice across town at another market at $8.99/lb and have always been satisified knowing this was the only quality offered.. Having not seen the difference beforehand I didn't know what to expect. Choice pieces I generally buy have some degree of marbling but the Prime I purchased today displayed a more consistent marbling throughout. I also noticed the pieces were relatively of a consistent thickness, if that has anything to factor in with grading or is just coincidental. I purchased the pieces whole, then trimmed...they're generaly cut into smaller pieces and packed for sale for the general public, so if you ask they will sell whole. Up to now I've no complaints with Choice for grilling, I have to admit these do look really good. Moral of the story, you get what you pay for, but the sale incentive makes it sweeter.

This began as an Umbrella stand, unfortunately it went awry and became another planter, somewhat different, but with a flair. Built on a 12 degree pitch with multiple compound angles it became a thought to work, it didn't transpire to my original thought so I just went with it. I believe a 5 degree pitch would have been better suited to close the top dimensions for the original purpose, however a mistake made became a nice modern tulip shape herb planter at it's end. So what's this got to do with cooking, ahh it all starts in the garden and that's what makes your dinner a step above. The side piece of cast iron is a sewing machine base I picked up at a roadside antique store, it will be fashioned with an attrctive hard wooden top as it has four holes that accepted the sewing machine originally. All in all even mistakes can be turned around, no plans except an idea to begin, shoot for the moon or land in the neighboring town...it's all good. Hey, C6Bill, if your reading this, Roche Bros is having a sale on Tri-tip PRIME tomorrow (Friday) 9$/lb vs their 19$ regular price, just sayin.

Very good David, nice combo. I don't have that attachment for my KK, but I do have a Gateway drum smoker. On the Gate way when hanging ribs they're very close to the coals and don't suffer any terrible damage...I would have thought this attachment allows for the same. The only draw back to the half basket set up if it's one at all is you have to rotate the chicken halfway, anyhow it's not a game changer. On the Gateway I can simply rotate the hanger because it's circular, an advantage as the fire develops hot spots. For rooftop cooking it's all about the aesthetics, and rightfully so, my drum wouldn't make the grade. Anywho I like what I see, direct approach, it all works. Bon appetit
