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

-=Jasen=-

Our conventionally cooked bird was AMAZING!! I think because I lied to my mother. (note to children: do not lie to your mother. I am a professional, acting in a controlled environment. do not try this at home)

She wigged because there wasn't a pop up thingy in the bird. I said it would be ok, because I have an instant read thermapen. I told her it was finished when the t'pen read 160, and told her to take it out of the oven. Ok, so that's low if you are FDA, or if you are a pop up thingy, becuase 180 is recommended. But the bird rested for 45 mins or so, and was PERFECT. Tender as all get out. No one died of undercooked turk, but instead applauded the melt in the mouth production.

Deeeeep breaths.... We feel your pain. Sad. Wish there were something we could do. Maybe look at BBQ cookbooks, or reputable ceramic grilling sites on line to plan your next 1000 cooks. Or a beer and Monday night football.

Sanny....you cracked me up with an image of a rehab full of attorneys. I can just see the counselors never getting a word in as all the attorneys argued over the semantics' date=' the participants scheming the entire time how to generate billable hours for their efforts.[/quote']No no, Samantha, nothing like that at all! First we practice wearing civilian clothes (slowly working up to colors that aren't black, grey, and navy). And we learn polite table conversation that doesn't include any latin phrases, and no handing out business cards. You're right, though, that some find it difficult not to fill out time sheets in tenth of hour increments. Those people get lots of times out, sitting with their faces to the corner.

Caveat: I do not have this brand of ceramic cooker.

Your legal training is leaking thru...

Yah, you wouldn't want to overdo. Is there any critter left unroasted in your area? You cooked a LOT!!!

Do you mean an enclosed patio type place, or just an overhanging roof? I don't know if I'd recommend it in a screen porch, where there is some decreased airflow - just as I wouldn't recommend putting any bbq there. If it's just an overhang, or sheltered area, do it. The only thing I would recommend is not putting it next to an open window. I find that the scent of cooking does waft in if my kitchen window is open. To minimize the smoke, put a drip pan under anything particularly drippy (pork butt, whole chicken, whole turkey). That will also keep the bitter "burning smoke" flavor from getting into your cooking. Happy clean wood smoke = good. Grease on the coals smoke = bad.

Rats. My chicken roasting thingy didn't arrive (backordered), so I'm gonna use either a cast iron dutch oven, or something else i've not figured out yet. But that's not until tomorrow.

Today has the big bird in the oven, salad washed and made, greens washed, muffins ready to mix the wet with the dry and bake. Pies finished. I think that's it. Whew! I'm exhausted!

How's the ceramic cooking coming? Everyone have stuff in order? Hope so.

Blessings to all.

Looks great!! Perfect fit. How about OverKKoat?

We have 2 TG suppers. One is on Thursday, for 7 people, and one on Friday for 4 people. Mother is in charge of bird and rice stuffing, and she got a 15 lb bird. I'm concerned that's gonna be too small for 11 servings. Ok, so I'm baking pies, and fixing vegetables and salad (no potatoes at our dinner), but is 15 lbs pre-cooked enough?? For Friday, just in case, I'm thinking of getting a small chicken and doing the herb/butter rub from TNW site, and doing that on the ceramic cooker, standing on a rocket rack (aka beer can substitute).

Good excuse to do a whole chicken on the cooker, anyway.

Hey Sanny! Kissing emoticons; sweet!!! You love to make me blush.

Nice sandbox over here. Bigger and better eehh!

I'm not gonna say if it's a bigger or better sandbox. It's a different sandbox, but so far a happy one. And they like Veterans, besides. So, that's good.

I love the new Jammies!! Most excellent. I think the red one needs a big flowered hat on top, so it would look like a fine lady goin' to church.

Yeah' date=' it's kinda tuff when you practically get banned for being patriotic on Veterans day. [/quote']

I saw that post. Couldn't believe the rash and trash it received either.

I thought it was appropriate and at the appropriate time. I definitely appreciated it.

No wonder I like Johnnyboy. I'm glad he came to play in this sandbox, too.

Doesn't look nice on you to talk ugly about "other" ceramic cooker people and what they do or not. Live by example. And don't go callin people "jersey" this or that, as if the fact that they live in NJ has anything to do with it. Hrumph!!

I like pink. My house is blue with purple shutters and white and raspberry trim. So there.

Scary sharp: series of progressively finer sandpaper (more or less)

That's brick...very manly

I thought Black and Blue were the only manly colors?

You sure that's not pink?

If only more men could be so insightful......it would put a lot of Sanny's colleagues out of business!

That shrimp looks good...but you seems to have forgat the meat on the pizza

Didn't ya know? We're vegetable-arians

Egad! Shootem' quick before they multiply or infect others!!! Though the shrimp looks good.

Yeah' date=' it's a crack [/quote']To quote Whitney Houston, in one of her finer hours, "Crack is whack!"

Well' date=' I guess I musta meant winch...if that's the mechanical one.[/quote']Depends on your preferences, I guess. Some prefer the battery operated wenches. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Probably going to roast it normally this year...and start looking forward to rotisseried turkey on my KK next year!

... and used my friends wench to pull it up.

I good set of knives is something that you can pass down for generations. So' date=' when you die can I have yourn?[/quote']Is that sorta like, "may I kill you and take your knives?"

We're tryin to calm you down, not put you out! No pain tabs in the home brew. You SAW how goofy they made Deej, din't you? We cannot have that happen to you, too! Makes for bad cycle riding. And that wouldn't do at all... In fact, if you are gonna ride, you can have home brewed ginger beer!
