I was going to ask if adult beverages were involved, as is typical in such stories?? I'm in Doc's camp for my grates - nothing but grill floss. I will soak the rotisserie basket in PBW, but that's about it.

For chains - 5 Guys, followed by In & Out. But, Ken, I do have a soft spot for Arby's curly fries. Mickey D's dropped off in my book when they stopped using beef tallow to placate the silly vegans! We have a local spot that makes THE BEST FRIES that I've ever had. Perfect frites - better than what I had in Belgium! I can't even get close at home, using duck fat!!

I've always been a fan of "Will Work for Beer!" Best and most stable currency in the world.

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.
