Welcome kjs! Please keep posting those pics of your great looking cooks!!

Yeah Bosco, I second Ken's suggestions. I have a 23" Ultimate and have never run out of room on it, but the most folks that I cook for is 8 - 10. Mine is an Dark Autumn Nebula, which I think is just stunning; but hey, I'm biased!

HURRAY Poochie!! The final countdown has started!!!

Yeah, that silly border does get in the way sometimes, doesn't it! Fruita probably can't ship to you.

Awesome! See you loaded up on coffee wood and cocochar - smart! Curious why you went with the gas option? Most of us here didn't.

Yeah Bosco, you do put out some great food porn. I remember those wing shots from the other forum! Can't wait to see what you crank out when you get your KK!

tinyfish, you getting your smoking woods from Fruita? They are da Bomb! http://www.fruitawoodchunks.com/

My cherry tomatoes are just about gone now. Other varieties are starting to come in, so might give it a shot with some of those!

Yeah, there isn't much in the way of accessories that Dennis hasn't thought of already!

Welcome Bosco! You have a big reputation on that other Kamado website, so we really look forward to seeing your great cooks over here! (I lurk over there like you did here!) Think you'll find this group super friendly and just as helpful in answering any questions you might have!

Nice cook tinyfish. BIG fan of peach wood.

KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD!! We could actually smell and see ash from the forest fires out West a couple of weeks ago, when the jet stream was right over the top of them and us.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. Yep, they are indeed part of the family and it's really hard to let one go!

No, but it sounds like an interesting substitute for bread crumbs or panko.

Careful, ckreef, or Taco Bell will be ripping this idea off you!!

MacKenzie, as soon as I saw the title of the post - Tomato Gallette, I said, this has to be a MacKenzie cook, because who else would do a gallette?? Then you hit me with miniature basil (I am growing a plant for the first time this year.) You go, Girl! I'm seriously beginning to think that you are my Doppelganger!! Warning about salt rising bread - it's really tasty stuff, but will stink the house up to the bejebus while it's fermenting. Smells like old gym socks - Seriously!!

Oh well, another product that I have to go buy because of you people here! At least this one is cheaper than many!

Good one, MacKenzie! ckreef, another home run, dude! Making it hard to psyche myself up to enter now. But I will push myself to bang one out in the next week or so. Super busy this weekend with out of town guests.

Ken, you must have paws like a bear!!

Told you that I'd hook you up on that kind of stuff. Let scope out prices. My price is $14 with free shipping (Prime). What does Amazon in Canada quote for the price of the chain mail, including shipping? Then we can look at postage from me to you and see if it makes sense?

One of my favs, MacKenzie. Tinyfish, next time, pour some serious hot sauce on that arm to hold them at bay!

Hang in there, Poochie! It's tough, but I know you can make it. In the meantime, live vicariously through others' pictures of their cooks.

I'd like to try MAPP, but it seems like every time I need a new bottle of propane, they are out of MAPP cylinders at my local hardware store.

Thanks, MacKenzie, but I can't take any credit; they were already named when I adopted both of them. As you can tell I'm a big fan of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. But, you have to go into owning one with eyes wide open, as the vast majority of them have heart problems as they get older. Guinness passed just shy of his 8th birthday of congestive heart failure. Missy (6 1/2 yo) has been diagnosed with mitral (heart) valve disease, but hasn't progressed to the point of needing meds yet. Fingers crossed on her next visit to the doggie cardiologist next month (And yes, there are actually dog cardiologists.) Knocking on wood, Kipper has been OK so far and he's about to turn 9 in October. PS: sorry about hijacking this thread to talk about my dogs! But it's Poochie's fault (pun intended)!

Oh, you're talking about cleaning cookware? Never mind! FWIW - here's my go-to for cleaning my carbon steel pans. Works great. I've used it on CI, too. http://www.amazon.com/Hudson-Cleaner-Stainless-Chainmail-Scrubber/dp/B00KQCJ0CG/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1438800221&sr=1-1&keywords=cast+iron+cleaning+tools
