ThreeDJ16 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I work all weekend , so ya'll cook some good eats and take pics for me! I did do a fantastic roast last night (in the oven though as the little smokey joe would not have worked). I discovered something I really liked on pork ..... which was poultry season blend! I make up my own, but it is readily available in most groceries too. I combined thyme, rosemary, sage, black pepper, salt and added in some basil; rubbed the roast down with the season and let sit a few hours. That flavor combination made the best tasting roast I have ever cooked - Mmmmm! I bet it would be great grilled on pork or beef too. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Re: What's going on the grill for Labor Day weekend??? sanny' date=' i KNOW you aren't letting your paramour or that sweet puppy dog go hungry this weekend, right! you always take some nice pics of your cooking![/quote']PC, you and Wes are going to have to Q for us. Snooky has decided to abscond to MA for the weekend, so it's just me and the dog. And the remains of Ernesto, of course. So, it should be pouring down rain for a 3 day holiday. Probably no cooking on the cooker for us. There are a few chicken legs, though, that might want a little love. Maybe I could convince myself to stand in the rain to start the grill. Or perhaps this is the right time to buy the gas bottle I keep forgetting! Beats newspaper and a lighter in the rain, I bet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanny Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 On the grill for Labor Day: 10 chicken legs (hoisin sauce based marinade), 2 ears of corn (foil wrapped, with butter, olive oil, seasoning), and 2 gorgonzola sun dried tomato hamburgers. The burgers went on a grill over a drip pan. Sort of an indirect method, I guess. No flipping, no grill marks, and very little grease. Dare I suggest, baked burgers? Very juicy, though. Experimenting with non-swine for the day. Of course, no one but me here to eat it. Snooky vanished to Massachusetts for the weekend. Mother asked when she'd get something off the grill (I did give her a bite of pulled pork, but she wasn't enthusiastic, so I'm not eager to waste my good q on her anymore). I called her to share chicken legs, but she's out and about somewhere. Oh well. Lots for lunches this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchop Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Tri tip pics from sat 9/2 here's some pics from wes (saunka). we had tri tip, roasted peppers, tortillas, beans and wes' special cole slaw (the BEST!) here's the pics: this is a great pic of the hot coals! notice that they are burning hot more towards the back, under the upper draft. a fire management technique to think about (as i've notice this happening more than once) is to light the fire up towards the front of the cooker and let it work its way back towards that draft. i'll be trying that next slow cook. two yummy tri-tips!! putting peppers on the grill for roasting me and my KomodoKamado!! just a great pic that wes took of my shed and pin-oak tree...

Porkchop Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 thats an awesome pic! yeah, with high temps, eventually the whole pile just goes nuclear, but as it's starting, i've observed it kinda starting towards the rear, even if i dump my hot starter coals in the middle. of course, i've done 3 whole cooks now, so i am an EXPERT! what temp did you have the cooker at with that? looks like a bed of hot lava!

ThreeDJ16 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 You know, that pic number 4 really does look like Porkchop is feeding Larry - kinda scary ain't it - hehe. I can just hear PorkChop now, "Good Larry, my evil little grill - you can feed again when the moon is full - but for now this will have to do - Mwahahaha - mwhahahahahahahaa"! -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmisl Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 what temp did you have the cooker at with that? looks like a bed of hot lava! Not sure. I don't have my thermometer yet but I can tell you I got some great sear marks on my steak I can tell you that the temperature control is fabulous. If I got my old #7 too hot it was game over and I was eating shoe leather. I have found with the KK with the door pulled open it's like turning on the afterburners (see above pic) but once you're done searing and want to dwell at lower temps then clamp it down and the temps drop quickly. Way too much air leakage to do that on my #7. I REALLY like this cooker so far. I've cooked 4 times on it so clearly I am the true resident expert Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 porkchop, are all your grills standard 1/4"? The pic of the steaks on the lower grill looks like its a heavier guage - Illusion? Seeing some of the textured grills in the wild, I am beginning to like them a bit more. What is the coating?

Porkchop Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 i've gotten the "jerry" remarks ever since junior year college (1988). even today, when i go to school sporting events for my son Cody, there's a guy i run into there just knows me as "jerry". my regular waitress at TGIF calls me "jerry" too, and always gives me a hug when i leave (very cute girl!). i'm a "hunka hunka burnin love!" the grill that the tri-tips are searing on is the high-gauge searing grill that dennis recently made. firemonkey - we share a resemblance? i extend my heartfelt condolences the textured finish on my kk is very nice. makes the mexi-k version look sloppy in comparison. it is very even and sanded smooth. i really like it!
