Never done a grass-fed brisket, but have tried a few steaks. They taste more "beefy," but tend to be a bit chewier, due to less intramuscular fat. I think the ideal mix is a pasture raised cow, that is finished on a corn diet for its last couple of months.

I'm just the opposite here right now, MacKenzie. It's in the upper 90s - way hot for this time of year. Hoping my stuff doesn't burn up in this heat. Some of my tomato and pepper plants are flowering already.

You can't screw up a pork butt, even if you try to. Easiest BBQ cook in the book. Nice ceramic pot, Bruce. What's involved in seasoning it?

Love the outer banks!

Just stunning, MacKenzie! Next time, leave a picnic basket out for Yogi and he might leave your bird feeders alone!

@MacKenzie - I've noticed that you've garnished several plates with chive blossoms lately. Mine are blooming as well. They are pretty flowers.

Sounds a lot like "iron wood." I used it on my deck where the KK goes. It's one of the 2 known woods that won't float nor will it burn.

@Bruce Pearson - the joke is that it's installed backwards! The cold air will be going outside and that big unit will be exhausting the hot air into the bedroom! The installers must have been the Three Stooges!

If you can't find PBW near you or the shipping is a bit expensive, here's the homebrewer's recipe for making your own. https://www.howtohomebrewbeers.com/2017/09/recipe-for-making-substitute-pbw-beer.html I've seen versions with a little bit of standard surfactant mixed in - usually a non-scented dishwashing detergent, like 7th generation. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/homemade-pbw-recipe.467655/

Welcome to the Obsession. Regardless of color/tile style, you will be blown away by both the beauty and the amazing food coming out of your new KK. Like MacKenzie said - Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!!!

Don't be looking for me to "break my duck" with any kale smoothies in my lifetime!

Perfect! The "bend test" is the only reliable method for judging when ribs are done, as they are too thin for a good thermometer check. However, I won't be trying any Marmite/Vegemite BBQ sauce concoctions anytime soon!

Sorry to hear that you're having such trouble moving this KK. It's a steal at this price. I'd jump on it myself, but I don't need 2 KKs. I don't think pinging my beer club is going to generate any new interest either.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

Welcome to the Obsession! Nice job on the install! Looks happy in its new home!

Happy Birthday, Dennis!

Hat's off to Bruce for the Vegemite experiment! It's one of those cultural things. If you didn't grow up with it, you hate it. I've had similar experiences with folks that I've had try some Southern "classics" and they didn't like them either.

At least the jar is open now! Give it a go on the toast before you come to your senses and toss it - LOL!!

Glad to hear that you had a great birthday, Bruce! Here's to many more!

Like my favorite winter poem!

Cool! Hope they can turn the place around.

Nice pies!

AMAZING!
