Yes, the 2 biggest improvements were the sink (Hallelujah!) and the burner. Now, I don't have to haul all my gear upstairs to the kitchen anymore, then haul it all back downstairs and try and clean everything in the bathroom shower! As a consequence, I am brewing significantly more often than before the brew room, at least 3 times as much!!

Sweet family! Good luck on the remodel and never forget this very important point - How do you know when your contractor is lying to you?? His lips are moving!

Especially when you hire a contractor to build you a brewing room in your basement!

Haven't figured that out yet, PRippley. OK, since I have a freezer full of chicken, maybe Coq au Vin or a Fricassee??

Another nail in the coffin for having to buy a roti basket! Hopefully Santa thinks that I've been good this year (Shut-up, Poochie!)

There she goes again! Amazing, MacKenzie!

Welcome to the Obsession! We'll eagerly await those uncrating and first cook photos, Oliver! And, the inevitable announcement of that second KK - !!

Like an old friend reminds me, "You're gonna die from something, so it might as well be from something that made you happy!"

Nice looking burger, MacKenzie!

Nice. Pics next time please!

Sounds like one of those silly vegan things trying to convince us that it's "just as good." All i can say to that is "tofu!"

Worth a shot, Bryan. Then you can do a first cook SV, then finish on the KK to develop crust and smokiness.

Excellent!

too geeky for me!

Snorted a bug or two in your time, ckreef?? Yeah, the whole concept of the neti is kinda weird until you've done it a few times. No big deal now!

Yeah, because Inquiring Minds Like Ours, Would Like to Know!

Yeah, I went through KY again this year on my way back to SC for a wedding. Bought waaaaayyyy too much bourbon, as if there's such a thing! But now, I'm officially "bourbon poor!"

That sauce just sounds crazy! Not like a tzaziki at all.

So says The Pusher Man!

Way to go, PJ! I did similar here. One of our local department stores does an annual sale to benefit charities. You buy a coupon book from you favorite charity for $5, charity keeps all the money, and you get to use all the coupons during the sale. I scored a Ruff Hewn 3 Qt red enamel DO for $32 after the sale price and my coupons! http://www.younkers.com/sc1/brands/ruff-hewn-45479/home/ruff-hewn-3-qt-cast-iron-casserole-pan-536600.html
