Me and Mrs skreef will grab you up, feed you some (hopefully) awesome pizza and deliver you back just in time to catch your connecting flight. That is actually an airport I have never been to..... But I'll have to keep that in mind
cschaaf Posted April 8, 2018 Report Posted April 8, 2018 Wow! That thing looks amazing. One of these days, I'll make it up there and will let you show me how it's done!

Cschaaf, you know you're always welcome anytime We'll even stop by M&T Meats on the way out and set you up with some veal Tomahawk steaks. The very best cut of steak you'll ever experience. 1

The very best cut of steak you'll ever experience. Boy, that brings back memories. Before I retired, I commuted between Douglas and Fayetteville every week, preferring to take country roads home vs. I-75. I would carry an empty cooler down to Douglas, and fill it up at M&T on my way home. I loved that place. I don't miss the commute, but I sure miss my regular stop there. It's been more than four years since I was last there. How do you grill the veal? I've been seeing some decent looking veal chops at our local Publix(sadly, no butcher shop anywhere nearby), and have thought about giving them a try. Do you grill it the same as your regular beef steaks, to medium rare, or a little closer to medium? Kind of weird I've just never grilled any veal steaks. I use ground veal always when I make Bolognese sauce or meatloaf.

tony b Posted April 8, 2018 Report Posted April 8, 2018 I've done these several times and they are outstanding, if you can't score any locally. http://www.dartagnan.com/veal-milanese-chops/product/FVEFR002-1.html?cgid=veal&dwvar_FVEFR002-1_freshFrozenWeight=fresh-FVEFR002#start=2 Looks like they do tomahawks, too. http://www.dartagnan.com/veal-long-bone-rib-chops/product/VEAABF021-1.html?cgid=veal&dwvar_VEAABF021-1_freshFrozenWeight=fresh-VEAABF021#start=5 1
Tyrus Posted April 8, 2018 Report Posted April 8, 2018 That's one AAtractive oven and a good story ta boot. I've seen wood frame bases which incorporated a cement top and front storage for these ovens. They take a little planning and shuring up but the look is simply marvelous. Hey' best of luck with your new toy and enjoy.

Hey' best of luck with your new toy and enjoy. TY Tyrus, my plan will incorporate a small wood storage area under the oven and a small counter top next to it.

The very best cut of steak you'll ever experience. I'll have to remember to bring the cooler. We forget to take a cooler probably 75% of the time when we go to Costco, so my confidence level is low. Also, if my car breaks down on the way there, I now know who to call.

I keep a cooler permanently installed in the back of the car. Where I live any ride to the grocery store is somewhat of an adventure.

Congrats my friend The weight maybe close but this was definitely easier on the wallet. It was also an easier sell to Mrs skreef. Not sure she would have gone for a 3rd KK (4th kamado). 2 1

At least Doc, Wilbur and Ken pop in at least every few months. Spoke to him about a month ago and he said he backed off "social media" and is doing most of his posting on Instagram. I believe he is still some what active on the Guru site. We are going to try to get together sometime this summer to solve all the worlds problems over a couple cold ones.
