Oh, will you just make up your mind already?

Jeez.

Ya gotta ASK for the chuck roll. They'll go get one out of their secret lair.

Wow...

TW - nice job... I'm dying for some porkroast over here... wife's got us eating vegetarian for a couple weeks and it's killing me. First thing I'm doing when this "fast" is over is roasting up a coupla butts like those...

And another thing... you know the part about cranking the draft wide open and letting the temp go crazy? I did that once.... now, I have a completely different beast in my backyard... but when I did that to my cooker it burned away the net-backing from the tiles and it wasn't soon after that they started to drop off.

I'm sure that won't happen on a komodo... but it's still probably not a nice thing to do to your grill.

Sweet roasts, though. Dang, I'm starving.

Hey Deej - what's wrong with the ol' smokey joe?

No' date=' definately not necessary...but definately a nice toy to play with.[/quote']

Totally not necessary - I've never used one. I've found that once temps stabilize, they don't fluctuate much... so I've done plenty of overnights with no guru and no problems. Well, except the general problem that my cooker doesn't like to sit below 300F. Hehe.

On the other hand, it does look like fun.

And if you really want to geek out, Deej has all kinds of modification projects for you.

Dude... I'm sitting here starving and then I see your pix...

Looks incredible.

I'm going to lunch.

Kudos...!

...Just an off topic shout-out to say

HEY GERARD - YOUR AVATAR ROCKS!

Hehe...

...all in good fun, pal.

...but seriously... you might try not staying up to 3am surfing Britney porn.

hehe.

I can barely get out of the house for more than a little while without loads of pain.

= you

Mostly done...

It's tiled, grouted... metalwork is painted. But I need to do a burn-in run to bake out any residual moisture, then seal it. Then put in a new "hi-temp silicon" gasket... And clean up all my tools and mess... and THEN it will be ready for the big "reveal".

Re: New look for Green 033

Now ain't that just a dainty picture that you want to have associated with food preparation?

I know, I know... but for lack of a better word... this is what it looked like:

What that hell is bar? Something new we gotta look out for?

You tellin' me you don't have any IDEER what a "Bar" is? I find that hard to believe...

hehehe

Re: New look for Green 033

The lower photo also highlights how good my tile ladies are getting.

Hi Dennis. This seems like a good place to ask this. I just had to re-tile my mexi-K dome AGAIN this weekend (an incredible pain in the A$$, by the way). At this point I have had to retile 90% of my kamado. Anyway, when I retiled the first time I used an acrylic (?) tile adhesive from Home Depot. I retiled mostly the rear half of my dome 3 years ago. This time, the tiles on the FRONT half were loose and needed to be re-done.

Anyway, I noticed that the tiles I re-did myself 3 years ago are ROCK SOLID. They will not budge. (this is true of the base tiles I re-did last year as well). So I needed to pop a couple off during my re-tile, but they would not friggin' come off... had to use a screw driver and work them off slowly with a lot of force. The 3-year old acrylic adhesive has a dense "rubbery" texture and is darn near un-budgeable.

The tiles I replaced this time were from the original "factory" tiling... it appears that the adhesive they used was a sandy beige grout-like material. This stuff deteriorates over time and eventually the tiles just slough off like mange.

So that's a long winded way of getting to my question:

What kind of adhesive do you use when you tile the KKs?

Because from what I've seen, the adhesive used by other manufacturers is inadequate for the long haul, whereas the stuff I used for my repairs looks like it will stick for good.

Just curious,

Re: Just use the Image Shack

If you use the imageshack toolbar (install just below the posting text window) it even has an image re-sizer built right into the tool bar. And FYI' date=' the medium fits perfect - small mem size and correct for window.[/quote']

I didn't even notice the imageshack toolbar before... cool. So you don't have to go to Imageshack directly to re-size images. Sweeeeet.

Re: Just use the Image Shack

but I prefer to see the full size pictures loaded in the forum' date=' not the "click to see full size" you get with ImageShack...[/quote']

Actually, when you upload to ImageShack, you get a page of different links to copy/paste into your message. If you copy the link called "Hotlink for forums (1)" or "Hotlink for forums (2)" it will post the full size image, not a thumbnail.

Also, if you go to http://imageshack.us directly, you can choose to re-size the image (640x480 or 800x600 best for forums) when you upload. And then, of course, use the "Hotlink for forums" link to paste into the message.

Re: ABT?

I give up. What's an ABT?

Here's what they look like:

Technique varies. I cut the tops off the jalapeños, scoop out the membranes/seeds with a carrot peeler, stuff with a chilled stick of cream cheese (cut from a brick), wrap with bacon, pin with toothpick, and then roll in a nice bbq rub. Some folks do 'em low n slow. I do mine hot and fast. 350-400deg, 30-45min.

They ROCK!

PS the smaller items in front are bacon-wrapped pickled watermelon rind.

Jasen' date=' why is it that when I hit the quote bottons it just says quote instead of showing it as a quote?[/quote']

Hey Samantha,

Jasen doesn't wake up before 2pm.

So I'll give you the answer:

You had inadvertantly checked the box called "Disable BBCode in this post", which disabled the quote code. The box shows up below the message window, at the bottom of the compose message screen in a section called "Options".

...Or more commonly, it would be a blend of 3 or 4 grated cheeses for use as taco topping:

Like this.

So...

...you took some pix, right?

Glad it worked out. What did you do for cheese?

besides that green is kinda gay.

Kind of like when Drunk_J says he's good at HALO 2.

Should I tie it up?

I don't know. I had a cookie sheet I was going to move it to. Grabbed a leg and it came off. Grabbed a wing and it came off. Finally got wise and lifted it by it's body cavity... but as you can see it did sorta fall apart.

I have zero experience with a meat hanger so I'd have to defer to other experts out there. If it matters, this was a fresh, never frozen turkey, which in my opinion is the only kind you should ever use...

As I said, this was my first turkey... incidentally, we had just gone to the fair a few days prior and I had enjoyed a giant turkey leg there... but my kamado'd turkey legs were SO much better...

Oh no...

...don't throw in the Towely!

You're no fun.

Wow!

That's some juicy looking ribs huh?

Did DJ make that on his Smokey Joe?

Hey now !

I couldn't help it - the durn thing fell apart while I was getting it off the grill... just so tender, juicy, and delicious.
