It took a few different sites to work through, one of which everyone was asking the same question, I have one of these and what is it? So it's a steamer pot, much like a Donabe but you would place your vegetables inside up to the final addition of fish, let it cook some, this was all described by woman on youtube making a clay pot as mine. Upon searching further, one video came up with 19K views from 13 years back describing how to use it, wouldn't you know it wouldn't play when I clicked on, the screen was all lines. Ahh, at least I'm getting closer, thanks. Unrelated and out of the corner of my eye, while looking into this I came across a story on Youtube titled, "UK bans wood burners." Did you know there are area's now in the UK set as smoke free, the wood you purchase has to be seasoned and the type of stove has to meet stiff requirements. If you don't follow the rules and there are many and extend into other fuel types, fines are in place to put you back in line. If they're going after wood burners, I wonder what they have in their sights for cooking equipment and if that idea could spread across the pond. Don't worry, I already think Dennis is working on the new smokeless KK as we speak, say it ain't so. Thanks again for the interest 2
MacKenzie Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 I'm celebrating Tekobo's birthday by smoking a couple of slabs of bacon. It's -11C here and a beautiful sunny day for a celebration. Here's the teaser, the initial smoke, just waiting for the good stuff. Happy Birthday, Tekobo and Many More. 🎂 7 1
tony b Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 @tekobo - Happy Birthday! 🥂🎂 Hope it's a great one! 2 1
MacKenzie Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 The breakfast bacon story continues. Smoking. I expect to slice and package it tomorrow. Gotta love that cherry wood for smoking. 11

Basher Posted February 24, 2023 Report Posted February 24, 2023 Great photos Mac, Wobster I had this Parilla Taylor made after searching and being underwhelmed by mass produced poor valued quality. I found an enthusiastic young stainless welder who love bbq and made it for me with a few tweaks- angle grill, removable drip tray, dishwasherable grill plates……. I might have made that word up? He enjoyed the creative design and delivered a great product. Calls himself 2js brewing https://instagram.com/2jsbrewandq?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Tekobo, I really hope you have/ had a wonderful birthday full of enviable food and great company.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
tekobo Posted February 24, 2023 Report Posted February 24, 2023 Gosh, I am so sorry to have missed all your kind wishes for my birthday. @MacKenzie - a whole pork belly, no less, in my honour. Thank you! I took the tack of starting my celebrations a week early and am due to finish with a party tomorrow. It has been huge fun, meeting up with small groups of friends every day in the name of my birthday celebrations. All the 5's this time! 3 1
MacKenzie Posted February 24, 2023 Report Posted February 24, 2023 Taste tested with some ends. Lovely in my opinion. This time I used Maple sugar instead of the normal brown sugar, can't say I tasted the maple but I do know the bacon is tasty. 11
Tyrus Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 You set a nice plate there Mac, wouldn't you know it I'm all out of bacon.....thanks for the reminder. 2
MacKenzie Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Really cold last evening, -20C, but just couldn't bring myself to cook these chicken thighs indoors. Rolled the KK over to the sliding glass door. These are phone shots not the best depth of field. I had company. 7

Poochie Posted February 26, 2023 Report Posted February 26, 2023 What MacKenzie didn’t say was how good that squirrel was. 6
MacKenzie Posted February 27, 2023 Report Posted February 27, 2023 @David, yes, I use Prague powder. 1
MacKenzie Posted February 27, 2023 Report Posted February 27, 2023 Many decades ago I used to make cheese and bacon sandwiches, they were sooo good. So, yesterday I made a loaf of Italian bread and you know what I wanted for breakfast this morning. 😁 8
MacKenzie Posted February 28, 2023 Report Posted February 28, 2023 Thank you, Poochie, it was delicious even if it wasn't the healthiest breakfast I certainly did enjoy it.
C6Bill Posted March 1, 2023 Report Posted March 1, 2023 I bet that bacon would be good on some sourdough!!!! I made this yesterday 7
David Chang Posted March 1, 2023 Report Posted March 1, 2023 cold smoked salmon. i can only do this during the cold months. too hot do do it any other time of the year... switched to a battery powered air pump to reduce the amount of cable clutter. when the smoke generator gets going, the smoke is beautiful, but i find i have to keep lighting it every hour using wood chips. 6
