Serious piggy! Look at the skin - killer!!

Glad I cooked yesterday, today would not be so nice. First snow of the season. It's already 4+ inches and still snowing. Will probably end up well over 6" today. Nice to have a cover for your KK in this kind of weather. But, it is pretty and I have no place in particular to go today!

OMG!!!

Did you tell him about our Forum and hopefully he'll post pics??

Scored the puck, nice!

Hope it ain't plastic - LOL!

Possibly the cleverest use of beer kegs that I've seen, outside of making beer in them.

Seriously well executed. Glad the move went off without incident. Can't wait to see that first virgin cook! I bet your Seahawks buddy could polish off a whole pork butt by himself! Brings back memories of moving mine from the garage, up a similar flight of steps on a ramp to the living room, rolling it across the floor and out onto the deck. Instead of the chain-fall and come-alongs, we just used refrigerator moving straps and 5 burly guys (OK, 4 burly guys and fatboy me - LOL!)

Tasty looking ribs.

Sweet. A big fan here, as well. I much prefer his later material, too. Sounds like they knew that it would be a big crowd and just went with a plan to manage it the best that they could. If everyone chatted him up, think how slow the line would have moved.

But, if you buy the 6-pack, they are only $3.77 each. https://www.amazon.com/Whistlestop-Fried-Tomato-Batter-9-Ounce/dp/B00473UPN8 I won't jump into the deep end of the pool until I try it first.

Most of us went with the 4pm05. And as I posted elsewhere, Dennis makes the mounting bracket for the motor, not OneGrill. You should have gotten it with the other hardware (shafts, etc.) for the rotisserie basket. I hear yah, Dan. I'm equally torn between a spatchcocked bird on the upper grate and a rotisserie one. Each has its own subtle attributes. It's difficult for me to say that I like one better than the other, flavorwise. The spatchcocked one is definitely simpler to clean up after, for sure. Which reminds me that I still need to hit up Lowes and get that big plastic tube for soaking the grates, drip pan, and rotisserie basket in PBW.

Dennis makes the motor mounting bracket for the KK. You will get it with the rotisserie basket.

Excellent. Looks like you jumped into the deep end of the pool right from the start - basket splitter, reverse sear; you got it going on!

The difference between chasing happiness and actually finding it. Dennis, sounds like you've found it. I'm envious.

Mine are "city coons." Regardless, I don't think I'm trying it anytime soon - À chacun son goût, as they say.

A "decent price" is $1,155.00 for a coffee grinder?? Sorta like comparing a KK to a BGE, huh! Some folks just don't get it. In this particular case, I'm one of them! Fat, dumb and happy with my $100 Capresso.

Thanks, MacKenzie. It is a fun little toy. I don't use it very often anymore, as it's really built for entertaining a good sized party.

Yummy! Good thing it's time to feed the dogs and start prepping dinner, making me hungry!

MacKenzie's seeing double again!

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments! Bosco and Tony #2 - If I recall, those skewers came from Williams Sonoma many years ago. I was tired of the normal ones with the wooden handles that burned up and split open or just a simple loop at the end for a handle. I even went so far as to have the blacksmiths down in the Amana Colonies make me up some and a vertical rack to do churrascaria. And yes, that's my old POSK #7 in this picture. I couldn't find any pics where I used this rack on the KK??

The closest one to me, until ours opens next year, is 150 miles over in W. Des Moines. Fortunately, there's one about a 1/2 mile from my sister-in-laws in Bloomington, MN, so I hit that one up every visit. I load up - several cases of 3-Buck-Chuck (their house wine label - Charles Shaw - $35.88/case), and a cooler full of their pre-marinated meats, like the lamb tips. Other favs - Santa Maria style tri-tip and Carne Asada. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I'm there. Sounds like someone needs to make a road trip, Charles!

Woo, hoo! Amazon has it and it's Prime, too! https://smile.amazon.com/Whistle-Recipes-Fried-Tomato-Batter/dp/B00E18PQDS

My bird feeder challenges every year were not only the squirrels, but the raccoons. They destroy feeders to get to the goodies and I don't want altercations with my dogs. The raccoons are bigger and often rabid. And winter before last, on 2 occasions, I had a possum on my deck nibbling at the seed that had been spilled out of the feeders. At least he did his "play possum" thing and the dogs only barked at him. Had to take the broom to him to get him to leave. After that, I said enough.
