glenarmand Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Good Info on GURU Thanks for the GURU info Had the KK hot for 10+ hours yesterday for a break in and test run - so it should be dry. Ran it up very quickly to 500 today for just a minute and then right back down to 300 - was not even really warm to the touch on the outside - did not let the heat soak in. When I was a kid in scouts we had a knucklehead throw a brick into a big bon fire and it exploded - did not hit anyone but it punch a couple of holes in a tent over 10 yards away.

glenarmand Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 WOW OK just I pulled the chicken off the grill and a sample of short ribs - man I am sold on this KK. I did a 5 pound bird with a chicken rocket http://www.chickenrocket.com/home.html If you guys have not used one of these you are missing out - 4 pounds of steaming cast iron up anythings butt will tenderize it. The KK and the chickenrocket is a killer combo!!! I have given more than a dozen of these away as gifts and everyone raves about them!!! - Caution that cast iron is HOT!!! use gloves and watch out for the HOT Liquid (Also, wipe it down with oil before and after each use) Kids are fighting over the scraps and the dogs are moaning, snapping and frighten each other for their turn. No runaway temps today - this bad boy was handling like a champ - as the outside temps really dropped after dark I had to dial her up just a bit to keep the temps at 350-355 but other than that .... no problems today after the latch adjustment and fitting the roto hole with the SS plug. I have a business dinner tomorrow so no cooking - Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetzervalve Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Guru GOOD Glen, I had a Maverick and decided I'd do it the old fashioned way to start out. I had a very looooooong night on my first butt cook. I promptly ordered a Guru (competitor), now I use my Guru and Maverick together for a poor-man's Procomm (I can't change anything, but I don't have to leave the football game to check it either). I just shut the KK down from 34hrs +/- of Guru controlled low and slow, slept like a baby...(I woke up crying and hungry every 4 hours! ) I'll put up some pictures & stuff about the cooks soon...stay tuned.

LarryR Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Re: KK How-To (Please post your suggestions here for a Q&A!) SO's son and I used the blue ropes from the factory and tied them around each leg, wrapped the opposite end around our wrists and lifted the beast off.

carbone Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Re: KK How-To (Please post your suggestions here for a Q&A!) Used the boards from the side of the crate to build up a ramp against the skid. Rolled the KK right off. Worked like a charm, and no heavy lifting.
