Re: Poll - Main and lower handle position/placement Hmmm, this was a suggestion I made a couple of years ago and sort of got "blown off". I was told use gloves, etc.... Thanks Naked Whiz! I took a heavy hammer and fixed my concern by hammering the handles on the main grate towards the centre. Pretty easy fix. SS

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Happy Thanksgiving to Dennis and the rest of the members on this forum. I haven't been posting for a while as I don't like the new system of posting pictures but the content of this site is still No. 1 in my books, as is the KK! SS

Re: Waxed for the Winter Come on guys, I know Father Mike that married Wayne and Janet Gretzy well and you should hear some of the jokes and explicitives he has on the links .................... If things get tooooooo sterilized here I will have to start following that other K link.... T Rex

Re: A very happy, happy man! Hey Iceberg, congrats on your purchase. If you are impressed with this unit and I should mention that I went through the same trance once mine was in place, wait until you experience the after market support you will get from Dennis! Prepare yourself for another trance............ ...........and we haven't even touched on the quality of the food the KOoker will do for you! I must confess I have enjoyed many "trances" since purchasing my unit! T Rex

Re: Thermapen on sale Not on the last three I bought that were the new Splashproof. I bought my third one for a friend in Connecticut a couple of days ago....... I would stick with the Thermapen myself. T Rex

Re: New Ultimate Contender? Wow, very nice and would look nice next to my stainless Weber grill ........ looks like something Dennis would make. If I didn't like my Komodo so much I would take a serious look at this unit. Any idea what these are retailing for? T Rex

I thought that I would mention that Thermaworks have their Thermapens on for $79.00 usd. A great tool and great price! T Rex

Re: KK in Freezing Temps Hey Smokeylips, pics to follow I hopw................ T Rex

Re: It's on! Hey Hephaestus, what "tough, cold and snowy winters".................. T Rex

Re: Hi to all Love the Cowboy Lump however, here on Vancouver Island, it sells for about twice what all other lump sells for....... Given the way Dennis' KOokers shut down makes it a little bit easier to take. T Rex

Re: Thanksgiving 2010 Nice bird Susan, thanks for the post! T Rex

Re: Thanksgiving 2010 Hey Sanny, we are just the two of us as well unless we have my mom join us........ I suggest that you do a turkey as we will do and send her home with some treats............... I am glad that you are back...... SS

Re: Thanksgiving Turkey on KK Hey Susan, great to see you back up and running on the Forum. I should mention relative to Andrew's request that I in fact got my KOoking directions from you when I did my turkey and after following your instructions to a T....................... it came out great! Our Canadian Thanksgiving is about a month earlier than in the USA, I did another one and it turned out very nice......... Andrew, I don't think it is possible to screw this one up, even if you tried. The KK is the most forgiving thing in our house, except for Mrs. T Rex of course........... T Rex

Re: Saturday Night Bone-In Looks outstanding, well done or should I say "medium rare"........... one of my favorite cuts of steak and you nailed it! T Rex

Re: Anyone figured how to double seal foodsaver bags new mod Holy crap Cook_Shack, that looks great......... Please keep us posted on how things pan out. T Rex

Re: Anyone figured how to double seal foodsaver bags new mod I hear you Rorkin, I went through the same thing myself.............

Re: Anyone figured how to double seal foodsaver bags new mod Maybe try another brand of vacuum sealer................

Re: Grilling/Smoking Lite Hey Larr, you might want to try what I do when I find that I have to push away from the table for awhile........ I don't change one single thing that I do except for one thing, I only eat half of what I used to. It may not be a sexy diet or something you can write a book about but it absolutely works and you can still have all the things you like. I have maintained my weight within 20 pounds for the past 32 years however after buying a KOoker earlier this year, I exceeded my 20 lb. limit. Well, I am back in the saddle and planning my next cook without any major sacrifice other than smaller portions. T Rex

Re: Roti Duck Hey Slu, I have now done a couple of ducks on the KOoker which have turned out very, very tasty......... I cook a duck the same way I would a "drunken chicken" whereby the duck is sitting on a beverage can filled with water and Five Spice. I bast the duck every half hour with a combination of Five Spice and Hoisin sauce which carmelizes very nicely. Sooooooooooo, 5-6 hours at 300F with basting every half hour. The skin is not crispy but neither is it tough and the duck is very moist. This is as close as you can get outside of going out and buying a BBQ duck....... Here are a couple of pictures for you: T Rex

Re: Home made beans Very simple to make and delicious JD..... 1 lb. of white beans soaked for 24 hours 1/2 lb. of smoked Pork Jowl diced up 1 medium onion diced up 1/2 cup of ketchup 1 tablespoon of dry mustard 1/2 cup of dark molasses 1/3 cup of brown sugar or equivalent Maple Syrup 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Cayene (optional but tasty) Salt to taste (because the Smole Jowl will be salty I wait until the end to add any salt. Put everything in a bowl, water, beer or stock to the top of the beans and cook on the KK for about 6 hours at 300F T Rex

Re: Another NY Strip Nice job Slu, looks fantastic!
