Almost there. ..looking good..and the salad.as always go dee Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

It was movie night last night with girls and we normally get delivery which is normally pizza - screw that now I have the ability to make them better at home I say! so this is my first attempt. I took some digging around on how to set things up as there was tidbits everywhere. Here is my summary for future learners like me - chime in anybody who thinks there is a better way or if i cocked something up basket was pretty much full with extruded coconut lump (from Dennis) - lit it in a couple of spots with my soldering torch no deflector top rack with the steak seerer on Top. Not I used it with the high arms so it was as as high as it could go pizza stone on top of that Closed the lid bottom vent open all up, TOP vent open 3 turns when I hit 450 I changed the top vent two turns at 500 I changed the top to 1.5 turns then I fine tuned the bottom and TOP a little more to settle around 550~600. I was impatient! From memory the to-mvent was about 1.25 turns and the bottom big vent was aboun 3/4 open pizza base was home made using a normal recipe: I read somewhere that you neeeded to use less water in Singapore but I didn’t do that, if anything I accidentally put a but too much in I was not really being very accurate. So the different dough for Singapore is a load of BS in my opinion (I baked a lot at home before moving here - I did not see any difference in gluten when holding it up to the light and it certainly cooked and rolled out well) i prepared the pizza on one of those fibre glass anti stick mats you can get transferred to a floured pizza peel cooked for around 7-10 minutes let it cool for about 3 minutes before slicing i think that’s it. My Daughter who is 8 is a fussy eater and doesn’t generally eat very much. This is her pizza below which she almost completed and then complained that she had no room for the last slice but wanted to eat it: winner on this one. Jazzy my dog thoroughly enjoyed the fact Maeve didn’t eat all her pizza... i only have photos of her pizza and a dark photo of the last one (forgot to check the photo and didn’t realise there was no flash) : I got distracted eating! Freezer is still full of meat!

Down to $30.33 on Amazon. Once it drops another 34 cents I’ll no longer be morally opposed and can pull the trigger.

PBW = Powdered Brewers Wash. It's for cleaning beermaking equipment, but works on lots of other stuff, too - especially hard to clean rotisserie parts and grill grates. It's a tad expensive, but you only need a TB per gallon of hot water. While the rotisserie basket sticks out of a 5 gal bucket, it's easy just to flip it over after a couple of hours and soak the other end. And as Peqoud noted, it's magic! Just wipe down with a sponge or paper towel and rinse. No scrubbing at all. If you can't get it where you live, or want to save some $$, as PBW is a bit pricey, you can mix up your own approximation: Percentages are by weight. 75% Oxyclean 25% Red Devil TSP/90 (TSP=trisodium phosphate)

Making great progress...... Weekend.....lets take a break....

It might help if you put the rotisserie together and make sure it all fits and rotates before lighting the fire. Yeah did all that 2 4.5 lb birds

We had dinner with the neighbours down at the pool. I cooked up the steaks made from the off cut of the fillet I brought home. This grill ceases to amaze me

Injected with melted butter and my own seasoning ontside just an all purpose rub

Careful, Bruce, you're getting dangerously close to PJ's (the maker of the infamous POSK) tagline of "Happy Kooking!"

Yea I've gotten some crate art. Still have the board laying around the shed and I posted about it somewhere on here. I also have some original @Aussie Ora art. Just waiting for Chris to become famous

One done

Some righteous meatballs right there. Sandwich looks excellent!

Broccoli is great on nachos with all that cheese, and red peppers, etc. Try it and you'll never look back.

Brisket and ribs. Super windy but the KK held temp like a champ overnight and through the day. On about midnight Ready to wrap this morning Added some ribs. I cut the racks in half so I get twice as many edges - my favorite Moved the KK to the corner of the deck so it wasn’t taking quite such a direct hit from the wind. Brisket was probably my best to date - especially for only a flat (couldn’t find a decent packer)

Tri tip. Gave it some rub..on it goes..almost ready for a rest. .after the rest..sear time..ready to carve..Looking good..and plated.. Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Pork butt just came off
