Tangles Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hi All, Been a while since I posted. Have been lurking and admiring all the awesome cooking pictures. Late year year, we decided to get rid of my vegetable patch and chooks and replace it with a pool and outdoor entertainment area. We thought that the KK deserved an area of it's own. Pictures of chook pen followed by Norbert El Drac's new home follows. I promise the chooks were not harmed in the process I do owe Dennis a review write up as it's been a good 6 month since we have purchased it. We have been using the KK on the weekends. I used the rotisserie cradle for the first time on the weekend. Took me a while to work it out but thanks to the forum managed to unstick the left hand side so I could fit the cradle in. I actually need to cut the rod going into the motor as it's too long. Managed to get some wood clamps to hold the motor to get me through the cook this time. That was Saturday. Sunday was pizza and I also made some bread. Didn't take any pics of the weekend cook. A couple of weeks ago we had family over from Seattle. I hear the Americans like to super size their food so I cooked a 4.5kg boston butt, 5 baby back ribs and a near 3kg tomahawk. Wifey did a whole heaps of salads... we did have some left overs but it was a good cook up. Time it so the KK was going all night and day. Great fun! Sorry for the heavy amount of pictures. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Jaw droppingly beautiful setting @tangles163. I had a good butcher when I lived in Sydney but you guys in WA look like you are up another level with your meat. Might one day persuade me that it is worth making the journey west! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 1 hour ago, Aussie Ora said: The friendly face is just a ploy check out the claws lol So true - that is what I noticed first!! I love Australia but realise that I have spent all my time and visits there clinging to the east coast. I have driven all over NSW, and have been to Melbourne, Darwin and Brisbane but never West. I have genuinely never had an incentive to take that extra plane journey. Your meat just might swing it! Although I do love a lost afternoon or two in Movida Next Door in Melbourne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
