Ooooh! Pretty! I was admiring that one on the recent inventory list. Good for you! You'll need to post a picture in its native habitat, when it arrives.

A friend, and forearm forklifts.... But what do I know? I paid the delivery guy with ribs and garden tomatoes, and he brought it around for me.

matching jammies That's a handsome family portrait! Another quality jammy project by Johnnyboy. Probably should get them some slippers, too, though...

:::raising hand:::: -7.5D here....

Heck of a blazing fire! So, on the one hand, the experiment worked.

Re: Hair dryer

Re: Hair dryer Um.... make sure the fire is going properly before putting the food on the cooker? Dunno....

Yah, I know.... We've sometimes heard on the forum how the judicious use of a hair dryer can help get the lump fired up. Blow into the lower damper to create airflow, etc. Uh huh. It works great! However... Note to self... don't do that when you have a cooker full! GRIT!! Bleh. Blew cinders all over the food inside. Yes, of COURSE that's the obvious result. But don't do it anyway. Ask me how I know....

Good sleuthing, Cookie! Most excellent. Does Viking sell a motor that would fit the KK? Or is this strictly a basket supplier? Can someone work entirely outside EZQue, or is it still a two step process?

Heathen....

Well, your cousin never came through, so I had to find someone! His parole request get denied again, huh?

Update Just to pass on the reviews... The pork butts were judged to be "The BEST EVER" from the happy recipients. And the ribs? Well, jury is still out on whether the magic of pork fat will work with the new beau. But my dad loved them! We enjoyed ribs with our morning coffee at Starbucks on Saturday.

As good as new! Maybe better, since is has Chris Lilly mojo on it! Good for you.

lol. I was laughing at your joke! Just it's got enough strikes against it without someone suggesting it's a mere FIVE!

You're so right! I took some ribs in a tupper (with knife and forks) to Starbucks for my weekly date with Dad. He snarfed them down! Munch munch munch mmmmm .... slurp.... So, I'd call them a success! And he was very happy to receive the butts. He was going to just refrigerate and reheat them tomorrow, and pull them then. I think I convinced him they would be far easier to pull now, while they're still warm from the grill (and get the fat off them), and then reheat before the party. Alas, he bought bottled bbq sauce to put out for people to use. But, I can't help him there. I'm not making up batches of sauce, and he wasn't inclined to, either. Let's hope the Dizzy rub that I used provides sufficient deliciousness that they won't want to adulterate the porky goodness with bottled sauce. One can lead a Dad to pork, but can't make him use the right sauce.

That lives in the house that Jack's son Dennis built.... Yup, I had the same reaction, LinuxW...

Rib and butts pics Ribs are a bit softer than I'd like, but good. Cook's Illustrated teriyaki glaze. Butts just came off. They are bone in, and don't register 190, but the bone is falling out, and the meat pulls easily. I say they're finished.

It's July 17! What's on? I'm doing butts and ribs. Dad needs butts for his Bible study picnic. And we ALL know that pork fat is the way to a man's heart, so I'm doing some ribs. Gonna use them as bait for a handsome fella. (No, not the candy striper. New one.) I'm thinkin teriyaki glaze on the ribs. What do you think? Home made, of course. Yes, I KNOW the grill is too full. I'll rearrange stuff when the meat shrinks. No room to put the rib rack in. And for those of you with a K7 and a deflector, I know you feel my pain when I complain that I couldn't get a decent low/slow temp with that blasted deflector in. I went with the drip pan as my only deflector. The oem deflector is too large, and doesn't allow sufficient air flow around it, so the fire snuffs out easily. Grrr. (for people unfamiliar, a K7 is by Another Manufacturer, not a KK)

Re: Side table adjustment Uh huh...

Yup. But I gotta say that frizzled hair and singed eyebrows/eyelashes is not my best look...

Re: Reality Flash Yah, real funny til someone loses an eyebrow....

Yah, Kravnh, overkill is relative, huh? Some might argue the whole cooker is over engineered! But isn't that the beauty of it?

Clean it??
