A four pound medley of Rancho Gordo pot beans, to go with brisket for brunch tomorrow.

I have a dual output one, but ganged them together with a tee connection into a single tube into the cold smoker. Just another way to skin that cat!

Most duel outlet pumps have two separate billows inside. By completely capping one off you would eventually ruin that billow. You'd be better off with the single outlet version.

Well, while today's experiment didn't find the elusive "je ne sais quoi" in tekobo's spice mix, I have to say that it's pretty damn good regardless. The major changes were Nigerian Maggi cubes, Javanese long pepper, Grains of Salim, Indian chili pepper, and some Urfa Biber. In a side by side tasting of my previous batch (#1), this batch (#2) and tekobo's blend (T), I have to give the nod to Batch #2. By the end of dinner, my nose was running and the top of my head was sweating! Plated with local sweet corn (amazing!), some nice toasted cumin seed Basmati rice and side salad. The TJ wine (GSM - Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre) was a perfect accompaniment.

The prize for winning the Guru Italian challenge was a set of Grill Grates. Me and Brad (from Grill Grates) came up with a good configuration. They are sectional so they can fit my 16" main grate or any of my 19" grates. I won't post the full review I did but I really like this after market set of grates. Allows for direct heat grilling while keeping most of the drippings from going down into the KK. They also come with a kewl grate tool that allows you to get up under your food and lift it straight up to flip. (perfect system for whole fish cooks) Anyway here are my initial cooks using the Grill Grates. Really small leg quarters (it's what I had). Burgers using the grate tool. The back 2 are feta burgers. Whole fish. This system with the grate tool worked really well for flipping the fish without tearing up the skin. Lastly a few chicken legs on the 16" Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Picked up my Konro today and just had to do my Suya cook as the first cook. Yesterday I broke up some of Dennis' coffee and coco lump. This is just a sample of what I did. The 3 cookers. I happen to have some very well dried softwood and hardwood to start my fire. In the bottom of the SoloStove I put some of the softwood and a couple of pieces of hardwood, set that burning then added some coffee wood for this cook. I actually took some of it out before lighting and it worked just fine. Once the coffee wood was going I moved it to the Konro. A little air from the blower and the fire was good to go. Prepared some beef tenderloin for this Suya cook and let it marinate for a few hours prior to lighting the fire. Plated. Yum, almost on the edge of mouth over-burn for me. Perfect. Next might be chicken. The coals were still going after this cook so I used tongs and put them back into the SoloStove inside the KK and shout the KK down.
