Pizza last night Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a house guest for the past week, so while I've been cooking, I didn't have a lot of time for posting. So today is catch-up day (not to be confused with that sickly sweet condiment!) First dinner was Korean Pork Bulgogi lettuce wraps with pickled apples and sushi rice. Loins were direct, with apple wood chunks. Grill fresh ramps, too. Drinking my Pilsner with it. Next up - Baby Back Ribs. Main grate @ 250F. Indirect with apple wood chunks. Rub was a mix of Dizzy Pigs Crossroads & IPA. Celebrating getting the new gazebo put up. So dinner was on the deck. Ribs and homemade potato salad. Tapped a new batch of Double Dry-hopped IPA. A shot with the gazebo. Surf & Turf night. Prime NY Strips marinated in shio kogi, garlic & black pepper. Cooked sous vide and finished on the lower grate, direct with mesquite chunks. Nice piece of grilling cheese to go with it all. Plated with the tempura shrimp (air fryer), 2x baked potato, mushrooms and sautéed green beans. Last night was Greek pork Souvlaki with saffron rice. Main grate, direct, 350F. It rained much of the afternoon, so we had to eat inside! 😢

Simple Sunday night dinner: Italian sausage and pesto fettuccini.

What I wouldn't give for a slice of that for my breakfast tomorrow, any chance there is a left over slice that you could over night ship?

Yesterday I made up some BBQ sauce with another chunk of that Annatto paste- usual additions vinegar, raw cane sugar, dried chipotle, and other spices. Simmered it for a couple of hours then strained it to come up with this. Left tomato’s out. The paste left over after straining I used as a marinade for another rack of lamb. It’s cooking now.

Whole!

A wee baby! 🎂

Well, had been to Costco awhile back, and had a 6lb boneless lamb leg, decided it needed to succumb to the smoke! I rubbed it with a mixture I make out of Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning, and Walker & Sons "Slep Ya Mama" hot stye seasoning.. I like to take a 17oz can of Tony's and mix it with an 8oz can of Slap Ya Mama. To me a great mixture as the Tony's isn't quite hot enough, and I dont want to mix two things with salt, so it comes out perfect for me.. I named it "Slap Tony" LOL At any rate, I coated the leg with mustard, then very generous amounts of Slap Tony, and Lawry's Garlic Salt. Then sprayed it down with avocado oil. Fired up the smoker with Royal Oak lump and some hickory chunks, put the lamb on straight away, indirect @ 240. I know some folks like to get it up to temp first, but to me it soaks up more smoke & flavor, and one less time I have to open the lid ;)] Smoked for 2 hours, then boosted the temp to around 300 and it took just about another 2 hours to get to my target Internal temp of 135. Pulled it, double wrapped in foil, and let it set for 30 minutes, cut the net off and sliced it up.. OH MAN! I was good! Sorry the picture isn't better, I was tired & hungry and wanted to dive it. As you can see, when you cut off the net, is disrupts the crust quite a bit, and flings the crumblies around as you can see on the cutting board.. Next time I will discard the net and tie it myself to get rid of that issue, and can then also score it both inside and out to hold on to more seasoning It was most excellent with some mashed potatoes and green bean casserole While looking around on the net for lamb related stuff, saw a youtube video of a chef making boneless lamb leg, with a mixture of pomegranate molasses and spices.. That, is next on my lamb list OH DUH! it is here on the KK forum LOL... Nice job by the way, looks great and I am going to do one too!

Yeah, the "hair net" does mess up the crust a bit.

great looking kk!!

Congrats! Looking stellar! Many good pics to come from that bad boy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

you can say that again! Congratulations. Beautiful looking KK, even though you did go for pebbles. You will come around.

A previous macho boss used to ask - who is more committed to your breakfast, the chicken who lays an egg or the pig who died to give you bacon? All I can say to you @Troble is: you are now committed! Looking forward to your cook. Might even listen along to your playlist on the day if you were to share it.

We taught him well. You've advanced to level 2!

Coming soon, the 62" 'Big Bad Sarcophagus' ......

Got my accessories in order. Plus a little side comparison with the Medium Big Green Egg. The 21 Supreme is no slouch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What Tony said!! The techniques are similar across cookers so if it takes two years, you have two years of cooking knowledge to drop on the KK. While I'm just a commoner in Ontario with no affiliation to Alberta or the beef industry, we can still kick it [emoji6] Here's a few of tonight's 80 day dry aged Kansas strips cut at 2". I like to think I'm slightly better informed than average lol Sent from my SM-G973W using Tapatalk

Mrs skreef thought the girls singing must have been naked because I never listen to country music - LOL

I know some people were having issues with the double bottom drip pan fitting on the bottom shelf, mine fits perfect, and leaves plenty of clearance for airflow. This accessory is far underrated imho, I plan to cook in it and use it as my primary deflector for low and slow cooks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Open faced breakfast sandwhich on sourdough (for the wife) and white bread for me. Over easy egg with truffle salt, black pepper and fresh thyme. Melted cheddar cheese, applewood smoked bacon, arugula, avocado with suracha sauce

Keeping it simple. French bread bruschetta on the pizza steel and classic kabobs. A little corn on the cob on the side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been wanting a donair for some time now and today was the day. Did the donair meat 2 days ago, the pita bread yesterday and the sauce today. The build- One last thing, some Silk Chili.

Well now, @MacKenzie, I would say mustard goes on both hot dogs and burgers and catsup (ketchup) goes on neither, although I have been known to put it on french fries when I didn't have BBQ sauce available. 😉 (and there is some mustard underneath, camouflaged one might say, that Gate's Extra Hot BBQ sauce on those hot links...)

I received delivery! A little sneak peek through the crate: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The discussion about Kansas City BBQ made me hungry for hot links. Hickory smoked hot links and corn, potato salad, olives. And, no, it isn't catsup on the hot links, it is Gate's Extra Hot BBQ sauce. Cooled by a 2008 Schramsberg Reserve sparkling wine on the side.

Yes Troble, My link hadn’t posted across. It’s interesting how intimate he is with fire and very different techniques with different cuts. My mates have ordered me one of these today. Except it’s on a trolley with a few Tailored variations. Can’t wait to test it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dennis was kind enough to send me the picture of my KK today! Hasn't been shipped officially yet (super soon) but I can't wait to see it in person! I love how it looks!

I got an E-Mail notification early this morning from KK that my grill had shipped, I called the shipping company this morning and they stated that the shipment was out for delivery today, lol! I hadn't even set up delivery, I had to call them and convince them to bring it tomorrow even though it was already in transit to me today. So I should be getting it tomorrow. Stoked!

I put the pork butt on at 12:50am last night. It was a 10lb bone in butt which is a little on the heavy side. Usually mine are about 8.5-9lbs, but I didn’t think it was a big deal. Put it on at 215 degrees and it cooked from 1am-6am at 215. I know lot of you use fancy thermometer gadgets but I don’t. I use the Tru-tel and my fingers to gauge temp as well as an instant read thermometer. Bumped the temp up to 225 at 6:30am. started spraying the butt with apple juice every 30 minutes from 6:30am-12pm. First temp reading at 12pm was 140 degrees. Strange.....went to gym, went to store for Cole slaw, came back at 2:30pm and temp was 150.....strange. Bumped up temp to 250 cooked another 90 minutes temp reading was 158....strange wrapped the butt in foil added beer, butter, siracha and sweet Thai chili sauce like I normally do and bumped the temp up to 275. checked back at 5:00pm temp was 160.....strange. Moved butt from indirect heat to direct on top grate and left it till 6:30pm, when it finally reached 195 internal temp. Pulled it out let it rest for an hour notice a ton of liquid in the foil pouch after and did what I normally do which is pull the pork, sprinkle some brown sugar on it and put it under the broiler for 10 minutes to crisp it. tried to make the Rodney Sauce BBQ sauce but didn’t follow instructions and mixed all ingredients at once instead of warming the vinegar and adding ingredients in slowly. Good thing my wife told me to pick up a bottle of sweet baby Ray’s bbq sauce when I went to get Cole slaw cause the sauce is 1. Too spicy and 2. Too runny to use since I start it earlier took pork out of broiler and served on my normal Hawaiian rolls. It tasted good but something tasted foreign and almost over powering. Not sure if it was cause I used a bottle of Thai sweet chili sauce with the foil step but ive used it before but perhaps not the entire bottle.still there was a distinct, foreign taste. It could be the MSG, could be too much Thai chili sauce Food was good but both my wife and I preferred my original method of cooking pork butt which is the slap yo daddy method. I’m glad I did a test cook cause I definitely wouldn’t want to do a pig this way. I’m sticking to my tried and true method that we’ve used for over 15 years. https://www.slapyodaddybbq.com/2012/04/slap-yo-daddy-bone-in-pork-butt-2/https://www.slapyodaddybbq.com/2012/04/slap-yo-daddy-bone-in-pork-butt-2/ good experiment but sometimes you don’t mess with a good thing. It’s possible the weird taste was the fact that I substituted cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes for paprika and chili powder (since I did t have cayenne & red pepper), but I don’t think so. I’ve used those spices before, this tasted different and I wasn’t a fan of it

This is my little sukling pig, traditional sardinian recipe: only salt and myrtle leaves

I have good news for you all.. It does not belong to any of them. It's at a house in Malibu that belongs to a singer. They must rent the property to shoot there. These reality shows BS about places belonging to them all the time.

Ha. All our prejudices are wonderfully illustrated by this thread. The young “grasshopper” brings us a story we oldies would never have found ourselves, we hate it because it brings our precious club into contact with the world of the nouveau riche, we hope that it turns out that the Man owns the tool and rail at the fact that a woman might afford to get someone else to do her barbecuing for her. I love it. Long live our weirdly wired human brains.

And with that information, I'd like to announce that both of my KK's and ALL accessories are now up for sale.

We keep getting teased here. Sunday it was mid-80s, today it's 58F and windy!
