First time using my KK for simple grilling for a quick family dinner- sausages for the kids; scotch fillet steak for us with my home baked sourdough... sensational- even for basic grilling the results were perfect. The kids commented that the sausages were juicier with a crispy skin. Considering giving the KK a crack for the bread- but having got things well dialled-in in a cast iron dutch oven I'm not sure whether to bother?

I just did my first batch of local corn in the Vermicular this evening. The corn was 3 days old so I didn't hold out much hope for it and thought I'd better bring out the big guns to try and rescue it. 2T of water in the Vermicular and 25 mins. at low and we have this.- Finished steaming. Where the corn caramelized where it touched the bottom of the casserole and it added an extra nice flavour. Dressed with, ghee, salt and pepper. I was amazed at the flavour, it was truly wonderful, no hint of it's age. The end.

Facebook reminds me that twelve years ago I still had an off-brand cooker, repaired as best I could.

Going to see my favorite nieces today who were my flower girls at my wedding. Haven’t spent much tine with them in 18 months. I asked them what they wanted me to bring over they said “pork” and I said “pork butt sandwiches or ribs?”, they said “either would be great” so I’m bringing both. There will be no plated pics today but this is a 10lb pork butt with dizzy dust, Dijon mustard base smoked at 250 this is 16 hours in, internal temp is 185 about to wrap it and add butter, siracha, brown sugar and apple juice. 3 racks of baby back ribs with slap yo daddy rub and Dijon mustard as the base

Jealous Devil is recommend by several of my friends as their favorite lump charcoal. Check out this video comparing several lump charcoal species --

@Syzygies i posted this for Forrest on page 382 of the Everyday Misc thread but here is what I do. i think my pizzas are pretty good, crust never burned and has that "burnt/speckled" look on the bottom. I post a lot of my pizza cooks on that thread so you can check it out and see for yourself if my results look up to your standards (which i deeply respect), but i do use the drip pan for a heat deflector so not sure this is helpful. i've never tried it without it now that I think about it, but perhaps I will give it a try next time. I got this recipe from @MacKenzie so credit goes to her but it’s pretty easy to make in a food processor. https://www.seriouseats.com/basic-new-york-style-pizza-dough Some of the things I’ve learned as I’ve gotten better at the crust is the following 1. weigh your dough ingredients, be exact 2. try to focus on getting even dough ball once removed from food processor, then slice that dough ball into 3 smaller ones 3. take your time trying to get the three smaller balls even, the better I do at this stage the more even the crust comes out when I cook it 4. Refrigerate dough minimum of 24 hours up to 72 5. Take dough out 3-4 hours before cooking 6. once removed smash down on ball with hand a few times to flatten 7. Then carry edges of dough in hands, let dough stretch as you turn it 8. roll with rolling pin to get it nice and thin and evenly spread 9. twist crust 10. brush crust with olive oil 11. sprinkle sea salt on crust 12. add sauce and spread thinly 13. Leave pizza stone in KK (at cooking temp) for at least 60 minutes prior to cooking 14. place pizza on parchment paper on KK 15. I cook my pizzas at 500-515 16. cook approximately 10 minutes each, rotating the pizza every 2-3 minutes as there’s always a hotter part of the Kk, remove parchment paper last 1-3 minutes 17. I use the double drip pan for indirect heat pizza sauce recipe here (I double the amount of garlic) https://www.budgetbytes.com/thick-rich-pizza-sauce/

Hello, its been about a year since i posted a cook. I'm constantly checking in to see all the impressive meals that are being prepared, and check out all the new kitchen and KK toys. Cooked these beef ribs for lunch today, they were very tasty. Used Meatheads beef rub. pulled at 204, wrapped and in a cooler, ran up the temp for corn on the cob and a hollowed out squash with tomatoes drizzled with balsamic vinegar topped off with pepper jack cheese. Very Tasty. KKook on fellow KK'ers Steve

Ha, no skill required Troble, just a leap of faith to trust the KK will remove the unpredictability of cooking with fire. Tekobo this was our kitchen. Only the cold room door remains. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pork necks here are often speckled with inter-muscular fat.. I exclusively use them for pulled pork. The muscle groups are smaller so more flavor too.

Can't wait for my shipment.

If they are missing tiles, 12 out of 10 times they have gone thru repetitive freeze cycles which are destructive to anything with nooks and crannies. Water gets into small areas and when it freezes it expands 9%.. That 9% again and again tears open the solid areas and when water gets under the acrylic jacket into the porous insulation and freezes not only can it loose tiles but the vermiculite insulation can turn to mush also. The tiles are not actually attached to the grill itself but rather the acrylic jacket. Most damage is done from water getting into the damper tops and freezing.. Once water gets into the lips cracks them open and then water gets into the straps and freezes, the grills are pretty much a write off..
