This looks amazing. Looking forward to the recipe!!

Ribs look awesome!! My first low heat cook I also thought the fire was going to go out but it never did. As others have said, these cookers are so efficient that they have the ability to maintain low temps with very little airflow. Unlike other kamados, air flow on KK goes directly through the charcoal basket. It looks like your off to a great start with your KK, enjoy and keep posting pics!!

All in all it was a successful cook. Everybody really liked the ribs including my self. I learned a lot about my KK on this cook. It really is amazing how little airflow it takes to maintain a low temp. At first I was scared the fire was going to go out but it just cruised right along. I became more confident as the cook went on and I actually left the house for an hour or so during the cook, no issues the temp stayed rock solid. Looking at my charcoal basket after I snuffed it out, the coals burned to the right half. The smoking wood that I placed on the left half was untouched. Next time I will do something different with the smoking wood just not sure what. I may look into making a smoke pot like some of you have.

You all are welcome at our table anytime!!

Finished product... They ended up going for about 4.5 hours. They were just the way I like them, not completely fall off the bone but still very tender. Next time I will add more smoke wood but I'm pretty close on the flavor profile I like.

Pretty close. 265ish at grate. 250 on my dome thermometer.

A little over 3.5hrs... Needs more time but they look and smell delicious! Just starting to pull back on the bones.

I'm finally getting around to doing a low heat cook today. I picked up 3 racks of some good looking baby backs from my butcher. I went out early this morning and started prepping the KK. I topped off the charcoal basket with coffee char and lit it in one spot in the center with my mapp torch. My bottom vent was opened about half way and my top was 1 turn open. Once the temp hit 200 I put in the double bottom drip pan and the main grate. Once the temp got back up to 200, I adjusted the bottom vent to about a credit card thickness open, and closed the top vent to 1/4 turn open. I put my maverick probe on the main grate just so I can keep an eye on things from the house. A little over an hour and the KK was settled in around 270. At this time I took the grate and the drip pan out and placed a couple of chunks of coffee wood on and around the lit coals. I put everything back in and put the ribs on. After I got the lid closed, it took the temp about 20 min to stabilize back at 270-280 range. I'm just going to let these babies cook through, not going to foil or anything. I will post some pics of the final product once I get there. I Really love cooking on this grill!!

Terra blue was my choice

Haha. Ya that one is going to be trouble!! She has a brother that is 2 years older that will keep an eye out for her.

About 6 years ago I spent a lot of time working just north of you guys in Wynnewood Oklahoma. If I was still doing that I would definitely be interested in going in on some lump but I don't plan on being out that way any time in the near future.

I just opened my first box of coffee char on Tuesday. Like you I was blown away!! The box was filled with huge chunks and it burned very clean. No Sparks and little ash. I have yet to dip into my stash of coco char but I expect that I will be just as amazed. The big problem now is how to figure out what cooks are Komodo Charcoal worthy...

Now that's a chicken sandwich!!

Wow! That looks amazing on your deck. The tweed finish is stunning! Congrats

Thanks! The garage in the pic was actually not that bad prior to KK showing up. I still need to get my tools and work bench organized. Now my garage attached to my house is whole different story, stuff stacked everywhere.
