MacKenzie Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Posted December 15, 2015 Tony, could sure feel your frustration At least you didn't ruin the cheese only the shape. I use Amaz-n-smoker maze and put wood chips and pellets in it. Those pixs might have been really fun to look at, just saying.

tony b Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 I hear yah! But, since it was raining, I wimped out on pics. It was enough of a struggle as it was, without the extra burden of trying to take pics. But, I should have taken at least one of the droopy cheese! In hindsight, it was kinda comical looking!

C'mon man! Ya had just one job … There's no soap in it and you dadgummed sure won't melt!
tony b Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 Lack of pics was probably more about being pissed off than about the rain. I just wanted to be done with it!

Haven't we all been there before? And won't we be there again? Thanks to all my KK friends here who help me so often avoid making mistakes. I do so appreciate your posting those mistakes here. Sincere thanks to you Tony!
tony b Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Key to sustained learning is to learn from the mistakes and not just the successes! I am not shy about admitting my Oops cooks, for that very reason. I hope somebody can learn from me and not have the frustration of learning it firsthand!

Firemonkey Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Did you put a big pan of ice in the grill to help cool things down? A big pan of ice on the lower grate (and upper too if you need it) does keep temp moderated. I just went back and reattached the pics that were lost in one of the forum migrations to my original Beef Jerky thread from years ago. You can see in those pics how little fire is required to get the grill warmed up. What you see there generated 175* in the grill, with the top hat full open to vent off the heat. http://komodokamadoforum.com/topic/2540-bj-on-a-kk-beef-jerky/?hl=%2Bbeef+%2Bjerky side note: whoa...that was originally posted in 2009. Seems like last year. I want my last 7 years back!

Firemonkey Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 It seems to be happening with more and more frequency. Time might be a linear constant, but man, perception of it sure changes as I get old. I remember when a year seemed like an eternity! When a year represents 5% of your life, it IS a longer span than when it is only 2.2%. Maybe time is logarithmic rather than linear? Hmmm...way too deep for my monkey brain.
CeramicChef Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 I'm 61. I turn around and look back and I'm astonished how quickly I went from being the youngest kid in the room to that old fart sitting in the corner!
tony b Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Haven't you guys heard? 60 is the "new 50!" That's my story and I'm sticking to it, since I'm gonna be there in 8 months!

Ahhh... so at 46 I might still be the youngest kid in the room? At least this room

ckreef Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 51 so I guess that makes me a teenager? - LOL Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
CeramicChef Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Hell, I had 75 year old knees at 25! So what does that make me? (besides stupid!) I swear I really don't feel much older than 25, but then I look in the mirror. Bald and gray. But there is this gleam in my eye and this ornery streak in my soul! Watch out world, I'm just getting started.
