Roger that!

Nice cooks, Shuley! Keep'em coming!

Heart attack on the way!

I also add green peppercorns to the sauce for added kick.

What - no blowtorch?? I thought you had all the kitchen toys, MacKenzie?

Seven days seemed like a long time, but who am I to argue with Ruhlman? Plus, I'm thinking of using the cold smoker only for like 4 hours.

Was truly a character!

Classy lady!

Belly is in the ziptop bag for its weeklong rest. Might cheat and smoke it next weekend, weather dependent.

Thanks, Ken! Don't make me wish a tornado on you!

Sounds like another kamado cooker that several of us here owned before we knew better!

Nice pan of paella, indeed!

Nice looking links, MacKenzie - and those spuds - OMG!

A true legend. Rock n Roll as we know it wouldn't exist if it weren't for him!

Grew up on Krispy Kreme. Always look for the neon "HOT" sign - when it's lit, they just came out of the fryer. With a cold glass of milk - HEAVEN! When they built one here in Cedar Rapids, I waited in the drive-up lane 30 minutes the day they opened. Unfortunately, the chain over-expanded and ours (along with all the others in Iowa) closed many years ago!

Nice pies, for sure!

Welcome to the Obsession! Nice pics of the uncrating. Excellent choice in color, too! I had my deck rebuilt just before I got my KK (still had the old POSK), and did 2 things specifically for it - the joists in that part of the grill are on 8" centers (code is 12"), and the deck boards are ironwood, which won't burn. A necessity, since the rest of the decking is TREX.

Very pretty, indeed!

Good one Paul!

No, Paul, they were Bree-otch buns!

While I watch Triple-D for the interesting places he visits, I don't watch any of his other shows. I think he's a bit of a D-bag personally. I have the Triple-D app on my phone, so I can check out places when I travel. I've tried 3 times to visit a place outside Versailles, KY and can never get into the place - parking lot stays full constantly.

Might thoughts exactly. Not sure what's the problem we're trying to solve with the extra heat shield?? My 23" has never had one and I haven't see any problem with the knob. Just placed my order for the new rear door - sans heat shield.

Nice first spin, Aussie!

OK, time to eat my words a little bit. The slicer that I had tagged in my Amazon Wishlist went on sale the other day and I took the bait - hook, line & sinker! It arrived yesterday, just in time to slice up the corned beef and pastrami that I made on St. Pat's day. Works really nice. But, I have to stash it in the brew room, as there's no place in the kitchen for it. So now, no more excuses for not doing the bacon. I'm off to the freezer to grab a pack of pork belly and I've printed off Ruhlman's Bacon recipe.
