So, ya'll got some of that freak spring snow I just read about? Sorry! 😢 It's sunny and bumping 60F again here today.

WOW! All I can say. I seriously can't wait to see the pictures of this little piggy taking a spin around the KK. Just about nothing better than crispy pig skin!

To me, a recipe is merely guidance, not sacrosanct. I've read so many of them over the years that I can see from the list of ingredients and some of the preps what it should taste like and then start making my own tweaks to it to suit my tastes. If I'm venturing into unknown territory for the first time, I'll stick pretty close to the recipe, but that's about the only time.

You're probably getting away without using it because you're using a better quality stock that already has those flavors built into it.

Got it. Thanks!

Thanks, I'm definitely going to try this soon (need to do my Al Pastor first!) One quick question - how much of the boiled chicken water do you add to the blender with the bread and walnuts? The consistency in the picture of the blender looks pretty thick.

Preferably "adult beverages!"

Indeed! But, the silver lining on the POSK dark cloud was that it introduced me to ceramic cookers, which ultimately lead me to Dennis and his KKs. My POSK K7 kept its tiles on pretty well, but the top hat area crumbled around the spider assembly. RIP!

HURRAY! Fingers crossed, I'm scheduled for my 2nd shot on Monday afternoon.

So, 1st cook with my "cheapo" Trombo King vertical spit. Chicken Shawarma from Trader Joes. I used the double drip pan. Main grate, 325F for an hour before starting to slice. Started slicing off about every 20 minutes. All done. Flour tortillas (purchased!), tzatziki sauce, tomatoes and red onions. Side salad. Crazy Hazy IPA from a local brewery. Close up. Easy, peasy cook. Soaking the vertical spit in PBW. Left the drip pan in the KK to cool off. It will get soaked likewise today. Next up - the Al Pastor tacos!!

Congrats, ckreef on both the new job and the new killer ride. Don't be a stranger, we've missed your posts.

Indeed!

😊 Making me blush!

Seriously true!! 🤑

That's dedication - 4 hours to make potatoes!!! Seriously? They'd better be awesome to invest that much time.

Told yah! No scrubbing either, simple wipe down with a sponge or paper towel.

Oh, you were talking about the Cleaver showing up on the veranda - I thought you were talking about the pooch! 😄

Preaching again (sorry!), but the answer is PBW! It's magic on stainless.

Of course, I immediately focused on the beer! 😄

Welcome to the Obsession! A big step up from the BGE. You're going to be amazed at the difference in the food coming off the KK. Can't wait to see the pics of it in its new home!

Yes! A full case of Russian River brews. And a few bottles of wine tossed in for good measure, too!

The pleasure was all mine, Paul! It was great to meet you, too. Good stories, beers & pizza, too!

Welcome to the Obsession, C6Bill. Second the suggestion to load up on the charcoals and smoking woods. Only way to get them right now.
