Eeeeek! Red hot coals, over 400F in my KK. I reached down to turn the left dial and this HUGE snake crawled out of the vent! I’ve named him Lucifer because of the temps he must have endured. HUGE, I tell ya!

The twist is no meat kabobs. Mushrooms, potatoes, peppers and cubes of tofu. I froze the tofu, thawed the next day, drained and marinated it in 2 different sauces overnight. Freezing the tofu makes it more chewy and also holds more of the marinade. Ready for the grill. Kabobs on the KK. Done. Plated. Tofu interior. I really did like the chew on the tofu, best tofu I've had to date. Actually really didn't miss the meat and I will be doing this cook again.

I did my time with tofu. I made a tofu Wellington once. That was a lifetime of tofu in one cook.

I'm not telling you good cook because you put tofu on the kabobs - LOL

Those pics almost make me wish I wasn't allergic to tofu. Almost.

@tekobo, no plans to go meatless around here but this was very tasty. I might have to throw it in the rotation. Wait now, it seems to me you were the one who did a cauliflower steak.

Great idea tony! Chook for lunch followed by pizzas later for dinner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am teasing you for only posting 1 pix which caused me to severely salivate and telling us how great the menu was- leaving me wanting more, more, more.

The things I do for you. I was due to meet a good friend tonight after meetings in London. We were booked into Oklava, one of our favourites. When I read of bone marrow mash, thank you @allmac23, I felt it was my duty to investigate on behalf of all of us. My friend was happy to go to Pitt Cue instead because a) she had been to the old Pitt Cue restaurant and loved it and b) she is the one who started me on this road by giving me the Pitt Cue Co book as a present in the first place. Yes, bone marrow mash is a very good thing. As was the rest of the menu.

@amusedtodeath - I just ordered it off Amazon - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1845337565

They look fabulous but I am pretty sure I would be eating meat for my next meal!

I’m almost afraid to open my 32. If a monster like this can hide in my 23, just imagine what lurks in there...

Now hold on. Snakes are our friends. He was just keeping the bugs at bay. Eventually he would have kept any rodents at bay......... Just sayin......

No ma’am. I called my daughter.

Did you call animal protection services to collect it.

Don't know what you mean? You gotta fly the ocean, like @Shuley is planning to, if you want to partake of our wonderful British food.

That is all very fine but I'm feeling left high and dry.

I'm a Luddite, I got a real book.

Yes, but it had bone marrow on top! I must post that one one day, it is soooo good.

Geez, yeah. No brainer at only $2.99 on Kindle.

Bone marrow mash........ That sounds insane

Something small pencil sized.. Does not really change much in the big scheme of things.. maybe a few degrees as long as it's open.. It it ain't leaving the chimney, it ain't going in the lower draft door..

CK, I just bet it was.

I think Mac must be one of those food photographers for a magazine. The only thing is she not only takes great pictures she also cooks those great looking and tasty meals!

Wow another inspiring meal. Your plate up always look great. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Deep down I know you really want to try this, CK. Bruce, I knew you would be brave about this. Don't forget to freeze the tofu first, then thaw and drain well, only then marinate overnight in whatever sauce you like. You're my hero Bruce.

I second how good the cookbook is @tekobo I use it a lot to make up rubs and sauces when our team cooks in BBQ comps.

I’ve been to two of their locations, the first time they were in this tiny little place that barely held 25 people, then the last time we went they were in the premises the are in now. It’s BBQ food but it’s so good, you have to get a side of bone marrow mash if you go, actually get one of everything it’s so damn good!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bruce, thank you. I think you'd enjoy this cook too.:)

I hope you do try it, extra firm is the one to buy. One sauce was one that I had made for ribs, it was garlicky with soy, oyster sauce type sauce and the other one was a doctored bottle of bbq sauce that I enhanced. Both worked. I think any sauce you like would do the trick so why not venture out and give it a try. The potatoes where steam cooked before put them on the skewers.

London and Essex are my old haunts before I moved to Perth. As the others have said, there is plenty to do in London and lots of great places to eat. The one place I always go to when I’m back in London is Pitt Cue Co, they are a bbq joint with a twist, they do some fantastic dishes that are a little different, but every one I’ve tried has been amazing.

That looks delicious Mac.

How about "during" - you can cook during the burn-in, as the escaping gasses are all on the outside of the grill. No sense in wasting all that charcoal just on the burn-in.

Hi there @Chanly1983. Guessing you will have/will soon be placing your order. Exciting eh? I had a long, drawn out process of choosing my accessories when I was getting my KKs. Your idea of getting everything now so you don't regret it later is a good one. However, you may find that you never use some of the things you buy. I use about half of what I bought. One of my current constraints is that I don't yet have power to my ODK. That means I have never used my CyberQ cloud kit and fan, nor my rotisserie or the Octoforks on my KK. I am not sure I will ever need or want to use the Cyber Q but I will definitely be trying the rotisserie when I finally get power. If I was only allowed three Dennis accessories they would be: pizza stone, rotisserie and sunbrella cover. Three non-Dennis accessories would be my MAPP torch, MEATER thermometer and cast iron plancha. A close fourth would be my La Chamba cookware - having stuff you can transport straight from the KK to table is great. Oh yes, and I do use the smoke pot a lot. And my cheap spiral cold smoker... You can see why we should rename this forum "the KK shopping channel!"

TY Aussie, it's been a fun adventure so far. It did get it's first set of rain showers yesterday. All seems well. Hopefully the rain will move through by the weekend so I can try again.

What a tasty meal that chicken dinner must have been.

It’s going to be my first cook after the burn in, I’ve got a Saffire Kamado and I love how moist and juicy chickens come out of that, I can only imagine how much of an improvement a KK is going to be! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'd suit up in full armour gear before lifting that lid or get your daughter to lift the lid.
