Originally I planned on having Mac & Cheese, spinach and pork tenderloin for dinner today but those darn Xmas elves forgot to put that pork tenderloin that I had thawing on the counter, into the fridge before going to bed. Needless to say it hit the trash when I saw it still on the counter in the morning. After the cheese was smoked I fired up the KK still with cold smoker attached and put in the mac and cheese to bake. While all this was going on I also made some sourdough bread.

Hi All, So next week is the big day. My Big Bad 32 will finally arrive after year of looking(and saving ). The last 6-8 weeks it has been in transport and now is is finally time. I have been reading a lot on the forum and it has been a great source of information. Thanks to all for sharing it help the process. I look forward to joining the club and hopefully make great food.

Had a nice flat iron steak for dinner last night. Direct, on lower grate, with mesquite chunks. Pulled an "Aussie" by mixing together several rubs, plus a healthy dose of purple crack for good measure. Plated with a 2x baked spud and a load of mushrooms.

A great and very detailed review of the 32" KK. This was posted on the Guru Forum.

You have a good foundation cooking on those grills. The transition to the KK won't be that dramatic. You already understand the basic principles of airflow = temperature. You will just have to get used to the new top vent settings for specific temps (bottom vent is not critical as long as the fuel is getting enough air.) The other thing will be that the KK takes quite a bit longer to heat soak, but is much more stable than those grills once up and going. First cook should be something in your wheelhouse that you've done a lot of - pork butts, ribs, spatchcocked chicken, whatever it might be. Wouldn't recommend a packer cut brisket as your first cook!

Tony, I sure do like the looks of that dinner.

I will be sure to share pictures. 🙂 First cook. 🤔 Any good suggestions? Thing it will be something simple to get to know the new grill. For sure the duck will go on for Christmas. And I need to do a practice run with a chicken or 2. Today i have a primo xl and a joe jr. so this will be a big step up 👍

I’m excited for you Lars. What do you have in mind for your first cook? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Aussie Ora - what happened to the picture?? Just a blank entry box. Destroying the evidence??

Waiting with bated breath to see those pics! And now, the "official" greeting - Welcome to the Obsession!!!

Welcome to the KK experience Lars and to the forum. Looking forward to your setup pictures and first cook. BB32 nice choice. Happy grilling!

Welcome Lars! Post pictures when it arrives.

You amaze me Mac. After making Mac and cheese you just whipped up some bread, and both look deeeelicious. That’s so cool

But I wouldn’t mind having some of Mac’s smoked cheese on the sandwich!

Your right Tony I’ll keep it simple and go to SubWay and have a turkey and ham sandwich plus a nice salad. What do you think? Couldn’t get much simpler than that.

Not white wine, mon, rum! Dat's de trick for de jerk marinade, mon!

Smoking more cheddar for the holidays.

Aussie I’m staying tuned in😳! Looking forward to the finished Meal. Happy grilling my friend

There is a total fire ban down here .https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/totalfirebans/Pages/index.html. hence even though I know my KK will not burn down the joint .I have abided by the law and have put the tip in the freezer. And got take away pizza. I understand the meaning of a total fire ban but seriosly as if I would let my KK burn down my house.
