Poochie is right, you have to straighten Maverick probes out to get them through the port hole, as their plugs are even bigger than Guru's. Doesn't take much - from a 90 degree bend to about 120 degrees.

Don't know your supply chain, but we're fat in it up here. Should be on the waning side of harvest, with only another week or two left of the local stuff. I get mine direct from the grower; they set up roadside stands all over town. It's fresh-picked everyday! Nothing better!

Congrats! Pictures, man, we live for pictures on this Forum!!

Bribery will get you everywhere!

Don't play my vinyl enough anymore. I own close to a thousand records. CDs are just too easy. Started converting some to MP4 to play in the car. I'm up to like 30GBs!!!

I had to bend mine slightly to get it to feed through the port. The plug end is too big to feed from the inside. Depends on the model, maybe. My Guru is about 8 years old.

I'm taking the easy way out now. A buddy has opened his own sausage business, so he's getting my money! http://www.thesausagefoundry.com/

Ken, it was in the crust - blue corn masa!!

Wilbur, paybacks are hell sometimes! ckreef, give the Mrs anything she wants! I have a personal attachment to Dark Autumn Nebula, aka, Scheherazade.

Yer Killin' Me with the Trifecta, MacKenzie!

Excellent! Now the hard part, deciding on which model and color?

Redneck Chic!

Thanks! You folks kept turning in those amazing pizzas, so I had to think outside the box to even try and compete!

Glad to see you're back in the groove with this one!

Poochie, you're losing your grip, man, that one was actually funny!!

There's that Tatonka Dust that has some charcoal in it, too! Funky stuff, not a big fan myself.

Dems da rulz!

Thanks, tinyfish. It was pretty good, if I do say so myself. It did remind you of eating chicken enchiladas.

Paybacks are hell, aren't they!

Nice one, poochie!!! And those beans, rock!!! Have become a convert to the butcher paper wrap! Done 2 now and won't go back to "naked."

Go for it! Otherwise the fung shui of the patio is unbalanced! Nice ribs, too!

You people inspired me to try to do something different for the challenge with all your great entries! The heat was on!!! This is not a pizza that I’ve made before. Made the pizza dough a couple of days ago. It’s my “standard†yeasted pizza dough recipe except that it has ½ cup of blue corn masa in it. The sauce is homemade red enchilada sauce – soaked dried chiles in hot water, then pressed out the pulp in the chinois (PITA), fried up some onions and garlic, then added them to the pepper pulp, with Mexican oregano, a splash of cider vinegar, and a splash of chile water, pureed that with the stick blender. But first, we have to cook the chicken. Leg quarters rubbed with Sucklebusters Texas Gunpowder and Gold Dust rubs. {Adult beverages were involved. Oktoberfest is one of my favorite beer styles and I look forward to its arrival every year!} Onto the KK, 375F, direct for an hour. Getting my mis en place together. Sauce, dough, shredded chicken, onion, green and black olives, peppers (green is Hatch, red is from my Shisito pepper plant), yellow tomato from my garden, and pepper jack cheese (Hatch peppers). Roll out the dough. Par-bake the crust on the KK, which has been cranked up to 425F and soaked for an hour with the new pizza stone! Crust is ready. Some assembly required. First, on goes the homemade enchilada sauce. Then the chicken. Next come the onions, and peppers, and olives. Those nice golden tomato pieces. Don’t forget the cheese! Off to the waiting KK. Done. Finishing touch – a squirt of sour cream over the top. Money Shot! Interesting experiment in pizza making for sure. Was tasty; nice spicy chicken, with lots of bright pepper and tomato flavors with the briny olives, and crunch from the onions to go with a little burn from the pepper sauce, balanced nicely with the sour cream. Not something I'll be making everyday, but was fun to do for the Challenge!

Here's my entry (better late than never, right!) Chicken Enchilada pizza with blue corn crust. Money Shot!

I practiced on a bag of Royal Oak today. Worked great. My trick was, once started, pulled on both pieces of string and it opened like a zipper!
