Recently, there have been an above average request for me to do pork butts. Us KK-ers know that pork butt is about as easy as it gets, so I don't think twice about doing them, but I'm wondering what all the fuss is about. Well, I'm at MIL's house last night, she's serving pulled pork. When I arrive, she asked me to check it and see if it's ok. She informs me she got it at Costco, so it should be pretty good. It was in a crock pot, and there was a bottle of terrible BBQ sauce next to it. Well, it was about the worst thing ever, in every respect. It was all I could do to choke one down, keeping a straight face, saying how surprisingly good it was. UGH! The lesson I learned is being my own worst critic I have to appreciate what other people are used to. We are spoiled being able to produce foods that we sometimes consider mediocre, but the rest of the world goes crazy over. Keep grilling, and let's enjoy ourselves! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I hope the MIL's don't read that post lol

"mostly it's just mediocre" I find that hard to believe.. Just saying! I have a friend I'm here visiting from the states and I reverse seared with smoke some 5-6 wagyu Tri-Tips with salt, pepper, garlic and parsley.. Then slathered in Best Foods to brown up.. BF worked great in fact by accident it made amazing grate marks.. When we finally sliced it up, watching him eat it was almost comical.. Food Porn for sure and his face was saying Oral Orgasm to say the least. He was a career manager at Four Season Resorts and said it was as good as any beef he's ever put in his mouth!! KK does it again!

My neighbor is a chef and has a catering business. She had to make 30lbs of pulled pork for an event. So we loaded up the KK with 9 pork shoulders and smoked them with cherry wood.

So sad but I have been having so many issues with heartburn that are only getting worse despite medications and all the testing. I do have a hiatal (sp?) hernia so that's probably to blame. Anyway I asked what a good game day option would be that didn't cause heartburn and someone mentioned kabobs! I thought that sounded great. That along with the homemade sourdough bread I've been making. Served over some sushi rice. So nice and I got to sleep as well!!!

This was pre cooked, she just put it in the crock pot to warm. I think spam might be better. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My family loves my food, mostly it's just mediocre. Every once in a while I get it just right so I think it's out of this world - but not often.

Nice, wish I could get "mini-briskets" like that.

Welcome to the Obsession! We call it that for a reason - everyone here that owns one becomes a super fan very quickly after getting it home and cooking on it! Just look at how many "converts" we have that previously owned lots of other ceramic grills, Webers, etc. We're here to help with all those pesky little decisions, like size, tile color/style, accessories, etc. And, like others have mentioned, Dennis is an absolute joy to work with. Jump on into the pool - the water's great!

Thanks, Wayne, no it was not veal. The butcher shop just cuts up the briskets into small cuts and I knew that the KK wouldn't dry it out so I bought one of the pieces. I am sure if I called ahead I could get a full brisket but I just did a drop in.

Welcome to the kk forum and thank you for your service to our country.. Dennis is the best ... you wont find any other company that takes care of you from start to finish and beyond like dennis does simply a joy to work with.. I have a 23 have had it for just over a year before that i had big green egg for many years, and before that a weber kettle.. when you get a kk and cook on it you wont believe how awesome and moist your food is going to taste,you wont want to cook on anything else but that kk ...like others have stated get the biggest one you can afford you wont regret it ..good luck with your decision

Bigshep thank you for your service to our country and welcome to the forum. I echo all the above members. Dennis is one of the good guys and you will enjoy working with him if you decide to go with a KK. These KKs are works of art and I guarantee you will love it. I have had mine about a year and a half and still just like going out and touching it. I have had the best tasting food cooked on it. I have a BB 32 that will be passed on to one of my children one day, not anytime soon I hope lol. Again welcome to the site.

I used the plywood method with a friend of mine. We had to remove two sections of fences to get it to the backyard. If I ever sell my house I'll probably have to sell the Kamado with it, getting to old. Guess I could hire some of those ROTC guys LOL
