Did two pork cooks today. Pork Loin "Reuben" from Steven Raichlen's Project Fire book. Boneless pork chop w/ spicy Asian marinade. look good, have not tasted them yet.

Sliced after resting

As promised, pics of the final event. Slow roasted lamb shoulder with Yorkshire pudding and roast veggies. As usual, the KK performed flawlessly. http:// Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It shouldn't be a surprise but first up Brisket was well above expectations. Cooked for 4.5hours up to 165 then a further 3.3 hours up to 202. hardest part was trimming as I’d not done that before. A big tick for the KK again

Hi all - I’ve had a BGE but recently gave it to a family member as I’ve been planning to upgrade. Looking at 32” as I would typically run out of space on large BGE. Obviously this forum is biased but wanted to get thoughts on size and also see if possible to customize outside of grill. I’m Scottish (living in Indiana) but would love to get a grill that looks like the St Andrews cross flag with the tiles Blue and white (included a link). Is that possible? Understand it may cost a little more but if I’m spending this much figured I’d ask if anyone had done it. Any advice on this grill and considerations would be appreciated. I read a lot of reviews and though kk is pricey seems quality is well worth it.

Salivating...

Yum yum yum Mac that pork belly is Glistening.

Smoked two pieces of cured pork belly this morning, letting it cool for slicing later. The second piece. I put both on the KK at the same time but one finished well before the other. Here is the second piece.

Thanks Bruce, i love a good roast dinner on a Sunday, this one turned out great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. Enhancing overall airflow, stoking the coals.

Thank you for your interest and inquiry. I am always happy to explore custom tile finishes. The first problem is that I do not have those colors available and we do not glaze our own tiles. Years ago we made custom tiles for Kingsford but they were ordering 18 grills. The next problem is that we could never make that pattern in tiles alone. it would need to be tiled with both blue and white on some tiles. I'm getting tired just thinking about doing this.

I've learned it's easier to give people what they want than to educate them. I supply them because people coming from the glazed-pot Kamado world think they're very important. Glazed pot Kamados are basically un-insulated and when the ambient temperature changes/drops the temperature can crash. Having a heat deflector reflecting heat back into the firebox gives these grills thermal mass/ a heat sink to help stabilize temps during these ambient temperature swings. Because KK's are so well insulated, this is not a factor. In fact, the heat deflector requires you to burn more fuel, creating more airflow and more evaporation and less retained moisture in your meat. I suggest, preheating the grill empty and then putting foil on the lower grate the size and the area you want to be indirect. Put your drip pan on top of the foil, install the main grill and put your meat above the area with the foil. Put the upper grill on top of that and more meat. You're off to the races. The foil is much higher above the charcoal than where the heat deflectors sit and will not trap/reflect as much heat back into the firebox. That being said I have not use the heat deflector in one of my grills for probably 10 years.

Yum yum I bet it was delicious

Spun a small beef roast over veg.made up a nice batch..gave the beef some rub...on it goes ..looking good..veggies are ready. .after a rest. . And carved.. Plated looks simple as but tasted 5 star. Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

A KK running at 250 is already in a very low flow (i.e., very small pressure differential) state. Even a modest wind across the cylinder would significantly increase the vacuum. I think that's what you saw here. If you did the same thing whilst running at 450, my guess is you'd see very little change in temp.
