CeramicChef Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 ckreef - beautiful cook. You never cease to amaze me with your cooks on a small kamado. I'm really not sure I could do as well as you on such a small space. Charles, just how big is Prometheus front to back? I know he's 16.5" across, but how deep? You use every square inch of that grate. Kudos on a great looking cook! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos on a great looking cook! The main grate (after you account for the handles) is rectangular in shape approximately 13" x 12". Seems small by the numbers but much more usable space then my Akorn Jr at 14" round. The key is finding properly sized pans etc.... to fit on it.

CeramicChef Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 ckreef - thanks! 13x12 ... That's a pretty good sized grate. And I agree that rectangles are a better use of area than circles for BBQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Fiery Shrimp - flavor profile test. Don't look at this post (everyone on the other forum - LOL ). This is not the cook but rather a flavor profile test for an upcoming cook. Close but not there yet - will give it another test this coming week.

ckreef Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 It was a decent test and we gobbled them up but it wasn't the flavor I was looking for. Oh well might run to the store for another test this afternoon. Really tough job trying to get it just right - LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Looking tasty. Waiting to hear how the final results come out - and the recipe, hint, hint!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I hadn't planned on posting this (why no grill or money shot) but when I got it inside it looked so good I had to snap something. Apricot ham steak cooked on Prometheus. Another Super fast dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 ckreef, I am so glad you decided to post that ham pix. It looks delicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 TY MacKenzie. We had a lot to do around the Backyard Bistro last night (guests coming to the Bistro on Saturday) so I needed something fast and easy. This fit the bill perfectly. Tasted as good as it looked.

CeramicChef Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 ckreef - wow! I see you've discovered apricot preserves. Try mixing that with some nice bourbon whiskey and you've got a heavenly glaze for ribs, chops, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Please tell me that you're not using your top shelf bourbon in BBQ sauce??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try mixing that with some nice bourbon whiskey and you've got a heavenly glaze for ribs, chops, etc. Hawke is not super fond of apricots so I usually use peach. I love everything Apricot, so last night I did it my way. I thought about doing a more fancy glaze but I really wanted a quick dinner so I could get onto some Bistro cleaning chores. Please tell me that you're not using your top shelf bourbon in BBQ sauce??? When I use liquor it's usually a crap ass, cheap 80 proof Brandy. The good stuff I use for marinating the chef. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Like my favorite apron says, "I cook with Wine. Some actually goes into the Food!" I have two "sets" of liquor - the cheap sh!t in the kitchen for cooking (Rum, Tequila, Brandy, Bourbon, dry Sherry, and Marsala) and the good stuff for "marinating the chef" on the bar - and never shall the two cross paths!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
