Sir Bill

Hi @tekobo I was thinking about this too as this system was mentioned in a post a while back. Which options did you choose as there seem to be several? Also, I noticed that they were announcing another model called the Kadet but it hasn't shipped as yet - did you consider this? Finally did you buy from Russia or their Estonia distributor? Thanks

A Happy and Healthy New Year to all!

Thanks Kemi - It happened 4 years ago (in the Gym ) and I have seen a variety of health professional including at the end a shoulder specialist. The conclusion is that it is as good as can be without surgery and that surgery has no better than a 10% chance of improving it and the same chance of making it worse. So.... I am just careful with it and repetitive movements, even little ones like using a PC etc make it sore, so I am just stuck with it.

Hi @5698k I have a set of Japanese whetstones, diamond hones etc but I have a problem with my right shoulder rotator cuff that really dislikes the repetitive action of hand sharpening and maintaining the angle, pressure etc. Which model do you have (I had a look at the website and there are two models and various sets).

I would love to see the whole event - best wishes for a fun time [emoji3590] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How about this @tekobo https://www.netherton-foundry.co.uk/outdoor_cooking/Barbecue-grid

@tekobo Oh dear feeding my addiction to cookbooks

That is so kind @RokDok - This forum is full of so many kind and interesting, as well as intelligent people - its a pleasure to be involved even though I don't have a KK

How exciting It looks brilliant even still in it's packaging...

Thank you @tekobo I hope to see your new KK's as well

Thank you @Boom Boom for taking the picture. I think that you have demonstrated that all the Cobalt Blue KK's look the same - it is a trick of the light and perspective that make them look different in different photographs, in particular the 42 as it so big it is difficult to get a sense of scale. As for is this my SBB42, chance would be a fine thing - I can dream

@Boom Boom The reason I ask is that I assume your KK is the Cobalt Blue, but when I look at your KK the grout does look dark grey and the tiles are further apart than others I have seen - I prefer yours! Would you mind posting a photograph of your KK like the bottom picture for comparison please?

Lovely looking KK @Boom Boom The Cobalt Blue Pebble looks beautiful. One question, in some of the pictures the grout doesn't look black, but grey in colour is this the case or a trick of the light?

@Braai-Q My recollection was a herb filling with rosemary and thyme being the strongest, but not overwhelming, flavours - the thing was the crackling which was divine and it was in a bread bun that was about 10 inches across with an apple sauce - just delicious. I believe although I ate this in Northern Italy this is a Roman dish. The other thing is where I was eating it .....

@Braai-QHad this for the first time on a skiing holiday in the Italian Dolomites - absolutely fabulous and when I eventually (I hope get a KK) it will be on the menu

Does that mean 42" would make your life even easier

@tony b Makes sense as I was looking at this homemade Tandoor - if the KK supplies the coals and the insulation, you could use just the double pots with one inverted from this approach. https://thecurrykid.co.uk/how-to-build-a-tandoor-oven-at-home-for-under-50/

@Troble I live in Somerset, UK and there is a local charity called the Durston Trust to benefit all his family members with the surname Durston in perpetuity. It was set up by a Captain Thomas Durston who died in 1686 and took part in the last land battle in the UK at the Battle of Sedgemoor near where I live. The reason for mentioning this is that salmon was so cheap and plentiful that the labourers of the time were fed it all the time. In fact it was not uncommon that labourers had in their contracts of employment that they were not to be fed salmon and asparagus more than three times a week. The joke is that the current executors of the charity have a meeting once a year to dispense the money to Durston heirs and it is prescribed that the meal has to be Salmon and Asparagus

Thanks @Braai-Q I found a copy and have ordered it

Thanks @tekobo I have picked up one from AbeBooks just now - that's the third book recommendation I have followed from you

Hello @Braai-Q that would be great! I am still musing what the Kamado BBQ's were designed to cook in Japan/China but the recipes you mention sound delicious.

Thank you @tony b for answering. I guess I am trying to understand if there are benefits to owning a KK beyond the American BBQ dishes that use low and slow techniques i.e. non US food that KK excels at? I love Asian food and world cuisines so recognise many of the things that you mention.

Hello @DennisLinkletter I have been reading with great interest all the posts on the Forum, but wondered why a form of cooker that originated in South East Asia, owned by someone who lives in Indonesia has almost no cooking that originates in Asia on the site? Do you have any examples of regional food that you or locals cook on your KK that you can share? regards @Sir Bill

Works for me @tekobo I didn't really understand what I was doing when I signed up - so now I am "Sir Bill"

Our mutual friend Debi used to call me Bill, because as the song says: Met him on a Monday and my heart stood still Da doo ron ron ron Da doo ron ron Somebody told me that his name was Bill Da doo ron ron ron Da doo ron ron
