Welcome to the Obsession. Don't forget to post pictures of your new KK when it arrives and that all-important virgin cook!

Unfortunately no. I didn't get hooked up with my buddy that had them. Might just have to pick some up at the Farmers Market.

Sometimes you just gotta stop and smell the roses!

Nice steak cooks guys!

Nice work on the ribs, MacKenzie. The Anova to the rescue again!

Welcome to the Obsession. Nice shiny toy you have there!

I've meant to try their green peppercorn and tarragon versions. However, I usually have 4 or 5 different mustards in the fridge at any given time, so there's not much room left - LOL! The bucket is just a cute outer package, there's a 15oz jar inside. But. I've found some good uses for the buckets, though.

Welcome. And yes, pictures please! You're going to immediately fall in love with cooking on this thing! Nothing else out there like it.

I knew that I liked you, MacKenzie, and you just keeping reinforcing it. I'm a huge fan of Fallot mustard. My fav is the standard dijon in the tin bucket. A bit pricey compared to Grey Poupon, but very noticeably better.

There a whole lot of puns to be had there, but not gonna go there today!

Looks very tasty, indeed. As others have commented - pork & apples, a marriage made in heaven.

Thanks, Rak. Since my first name is Roy - an Anglicized version of the French word, Roi, for king, I guess that it fits! LOL

Most of us use small (2 Qt) CI dutch ovens, which are too small to straddle the handle, plus, like others have noted, you want the smoke directed back into the fire to clean it up and I'm not sure if the pot would get hot enough if not in direct contact with the coals, as it take several hundred degrees (F) to ignite the wood to the smoldering point inside the DO - like in the 450F (225C) range, well above the air temperature inside the KK during low and slows.

Still a few bottles of '82, '88 and '90 Bordeaux left, haven't even touched the cases of '89 Bordeaux yet, plenty of '90 CA cabs, and vintage Port, plus a smattering of other stuff from the mid-90s (lots of Ridge Zins, from when I was in their wine club.) I'm sure that I'll find something appropriate.

@MacKenzie - you can always add bacon to any sandwich, especially when it's your yummy homemade piggy!

I'd eat that!

I'd wear those! And Yes, I just bought some new pairs of shorts that have elastic in the waist band!!

Thanks, another new spice blend in the rack! (As if I needed another one - ha, ha!)

Asian market did have the banana leaves - a whopping $1.50 each! I have a pork loin roast in the freezer that just might get turned into Kalua pork this weekend.

Zucchini chips look great, but there's a serious lack of protein on that sammie!

When in Rome, make lemonade, or something like that??

Oh, my dearest MacKenzie, most of us do not have your restraint; hence, the Forum adage of telling newbies to go buy a bigger belt now, as they will surely need it soon!

Run down to the nearest Bed, Bath & Beyond and buy a cheap pizza stone. It will get you by until the good one shows up. But, be warned, they are thin and I've had one actually split on the upper grill after heat soaking when I opened the lid and a rush of cool air hit it. It went "tink" and the next second, it was in 2 pieces. On the upside, it does come with a nice wooden peal. Plan B - deep dish pan on the deflector stone. Plan C - aluminum foil on the deflector stone, if you aren't doing deep dish.

Never seen "shots of sea salt" before, but I'm cool with it -
