Have you done this before? I am seriously curious about these bags. I would like to be able to dry age steaks in my fridge.

Thanks!

Thanks! Hears hoping that you up and about and grilling again real soon, Ken!

Standard ovens are SOOOOO overrated! I put the space to better use in my kitchen remodel. I have 2 pot rack drawers underneath my cooktop. Top one for the cast iron pans, the bigger bottom drawer is for my stock pots and lids. And now it's the home for the Anova, too. I have a big custom made pot rack in the corner for my "every day" pots and pans. It's good to have blacksmiths nearby! They also made my grilling table on the deck.

I have 8 different tomato plants going and every one has at least one tomato in some stage of development, except that they are all still green! One of my pepper plants (Shishito) has a pepper that's about ready (they are eaten green), but the others (ghost pepper and jalapeno) are just starting to flower.

Maybe a kevlar jockstrap - LOL!!

Nice job on the pizza and good luck on that brisket. Couple of pizza tips - for a thin crust, consider cooking one side of the crust without toppings (plain) to just get it browned. Then flip it over and put your toppings on the cooked side and return to the KK, uncooked side down. Second, put your pizza stone on the upper grate and make sure to heat soak your grill for at least an hour to get the dome nice and saturated. This really turns the KK into a pizza oven.

Got that right! "Without chemicals, life itself would not be possible!"

I know you said that you don't do a lot of pictures, but you MUST take pictures of the whole piggie on the Tank!!

btw - Mine came yesterday and no Baby Mirrors were in the box, Thankfully!!

Yes I have and they are very tasty! I have a plant again this year. But, no tomatoes yet!

Kewl, but I don't break down sub-primals very often!

Yeah, I checked out their website. It was all I could do to not order any! But, they are on my Wish List for down the road (which for me, means like next week! I NEED HELP!)

Thanks MacKenzie. I truly look forward to your cooks when your KK arrives, as I know that they will be stellar!! As far as gathering up the energy to do dinner, it's called a Gin & Tonic - ha, ha!!!

I get the Dizzy Pig newsletter and saw pics from the last Fest. Just wish we could get them to come back over from the Dark Side and go with the KK instead of BGEs!!!

OK, MacKenzie - it's a throwdown! Had to do a sous vide steak for dinner after seeing that gorgeous photo layout! But, I have the upper hand in that I have a KK to finish my steak on - Ha, Ha, Ha!! Of course there's porn! Right out of the SV bath (125F for 3 hours), dusted with my house Cajun seasoning. Oh yeah, this is an 8 oz NY, on sale at my local grocery store for $4.99! Yes, $4.99 for an 8 oz Choice Reserve NY Strip. I bought 6!! Used the basket splitter, got the KK up to 500F in the dome. On goes the steak onto the lower grate. Didn't want to use the sear grate as this was a thin cut (~1/2"). Ready to come off the grill. Call it Din-din! Sauteed asparagus, twice baked spud, sauteed mushrooms with the SV jus, Marsala, and a ton of butter!, salad, crusty bread, and decent bottle of cheap cab! Up close and personal! Money Shot. This end was a little past Medium Rare and closer to Medium. The thicker end was a nice Medium Rare.

On a good day, I probably could eat 6 ears all by myself! Your tomato plants look about as far along as mine. Waiting with bated breath for my first tomato of the season! It WILL become a BLT - no question!!

I took that concept to the extreme. When I had my kitchen remodeled, I did not have a conventional stove installed, just a cooktop - no oven, as just about anything that I would have done in an oven, I was doing on the KK. I did have a combo microwave/convection oven (GE Advantium) installed above the cooktop. Didn't like the way that it baked, so I bought a counter-top, brick-lined, convection oven (Cuisinart), that I use for most baking things. Oh, and I still have a toaster. Worked out just fine for me, YMMV.

Nice looking dinner, but where's the corn? I LOVE corn on the cob cooked on the grill. It's the best way to cook corn that there is!! I soak the ears in the husks in briny water for a couple of hours (depending on freshness) and toss them onto the main grate, still in the husks, direct for about 45 minutes (turn about every 15 minutes). Only thing better about summer is homegrown tomatoes!

When the movie Strange Brew came out, a good friend of mine at the time suddenly acquired the nickname, Hosehead! I still call him that today, 25+ years later, eh!!

Turnabouts, fair play, ckreef!!

Gawd, what gorgeous food porn!! You're killin' me, MacKenzie! Spent the last 2+ hours weeding and putting down new mulch around the trees and shrubs in the front yard. Exhausted! Too tired to even think about what to cook for dinner and here you go throwing this awesome plate of food up in my face! You are pure evil girl!

Congratulations on a successful move and setup!! Now, where's the food porn??? We want to see the pictures of that virgin cook!

With a BMI of 41, I resemble that remark! But, I betcha I could still fit into your back seat!! So, no excuses for leaving the fat boy at home!

Thanks! Both were pretty tasty. Had to restrain myself from eating all of it.
