Excellent porn, poochie!

Rak, give in to the Dark Nebula side!

Welcome to the Obsession! You'll have more fun here than your wallet can stand!

My motor arrived yesterday. Just gotta pull that trigger and order the roti basket from Dennis. Wallet is trying to recover from the last purchase of the dual dial draft door and new pizza stone!! tinyfish, interesting putting espresso on chicken. I've never tried that one, only on beef.

My Guru never overshoots on its own, only on windy days, like Wilbur says. Robert has similar good advice for keeping the fan damper on the Guru closed down. I'm running mine right now and the damper is 50% closed, but it's not very windy right now. I just got the new dual dial door and still learning what the top/bottom combinations are for my usual temps. I've gotten 375F dialed in (pun intended, poochie!), but haven't played around enough at lower temps to figure those out yet. Plus, I've got a leak on the left, rear side of the KK between the lid and bottom, so anything that I learn now will have to be re-learned when I get that corrected.

It will take you some practice to learn the top and bottom damper positions for each of your target temperatures, but once you do, it's repeatable. I typically have the top damper pretty wide open when I start, just to make sure that the charcoal is lit well. Once I get about 50F below my target temp, I set the damper positions for that temp and just let it coast in.

OUCH!!

Anything wrapped in bacon HAS to be good!!

Bosco broke the mold with his double buy, so the groundwork has been laid for future "twins."

Too bad we don't live to be a couple of hundred years old. Think about how much we'd grow and mature with that much life experience! It's truly sad to think that by the time we start to figure all this shit out, we're too old to do much with the knowledge!!

Waiting eagerly to see how that works out for you, Syz!

So, Bosco, share the recipe for those Moink balls! They look super tasty!

Awesome, poochie! Nice virgin cook! Serious photo skills, too! Like Bosco said, the Plowboys rubs are da shizzle! Huge fan here. Just starting to experiment with the Cimarron, so the jury's still out on that one, but so far, I'm like it.

The local, organic, farmers weren't hit at all. It was just the big mega-farms, that produce a very large portion of the eggs consumed in this country. The supermarket turkeys will be more expensive this Thanksgiving, but the smaller producers will be OK.

Welcome to the Obsession, Rak! What I'm seeing is that your very talented daughter should get her own KK, maybe a 19" HighTop, in her choice of tile colors, and Dad could have his own 23" in whatever color strikes his fancy!

Fear not, Grasshopper, you will learn quickly!

Go for it, poochie! It's super slick! I monitor the Forum with Tapatalk, but only post pics on my PC.

I, for the life of me, can't understand some of these differences between us??? I thought our silly government was the most restrictive around about importing Ag products, but this one baffles me?? Canada has no coffee growing industry, so why the goofy restrictions on importing coffee wood????

I didn't have any spots to re-grout either. Just wiped off the white spooge afterwards.

Sah-wheet!! Gonna be killah! Can't wait to see The Twins in their home setting! Bosco, don't know if you've thought about names yet, but I'd offer to name them, Romulus and Remus, as I think that you are establishing a dynasty here.

Not with all the avian flu here. We lost millions of chickens (and turkeys) here this spring. That's why your egg prices have gone up and will likely stay up for another year!

There's a road to perfection?? And here I was blindly stumbling down the path of occasional success!!!

If that's the case, Ken, I pity the poor pooch that has to live with you!

Sounds great, GoFrogs, but I can't have anything with grapefruit in it, as it messes with my meds (atorvistatin). PJ, Hendricks gets a thumbs up in my book, so does Bombay Saffire, and the local stuff from ClearHeart (Cedar Ridge) - my "everyday" gin.

I hear yah, PJ. When I first moved to Iowa from Cali, I thought that I'd moved to a culinary wasteland - simple meat and potatoes - no Thai, Sushi, or Indian places and the Tex-Mex and Chinese were horrid! So, I found the one and only Oriental market and started learning to make my own! I still put a lot of that experience to work even today. Gave me a great appreciation for spices and different cooking techniques. But, in the ensuing years, we have "grown up" and have really good Thai, Sushi, and Indian spots, and authentic Mex, but alas the Chinese food still suffers, but it's a far cry better than the original days when I moved here!
