Cheese burgers again. It wasn't easy but I did devour the whole thing.

Over this past weekend I tried my idea of placing the smoke pot below the charcoal basket. Used the MSR SS pot as my cast iron one was a bit too tall to fit below the charcoal basket. The MSR was set on 3 SS screws (laying horizontal) as standoffs. (The holes I drilled in the pot are on the bottom.) I was cooking a 2.5"-thick cowboy steak using reverse sear. Better part of an hour at ~230F (steak on the warming rack with aluminum foil on the rack below shielding direct radiant heating), followed by a rest while Babe heated up to 400+ then the sear). The steak came out great, though I didn't see or taste much smoke. Looking at the wood chunks after cool down, they don't appear to have fully carbonized (still see some brown color). So I;'m interpreting all this as the pot didn't get hot enough to get the wood chunks smoldering. Perhaps my taller cast iron pot being taller and in contact with the charcoal basket would get hotter? But for the little guy its back to burying that smoking pot in the charcoal.

No picture of the cook, but here is the result (just a pork loin on the kamado anyway[emoji6]): Whole pork loin deli style, smoked on the kk for 4h with cherry and apple wood chunks. 10 day cured with some spices, than rubbed with Maille mustard and a jalapeño maple dry rub (local brand). Amazing taste. 2,6kg. Glad to have a slicer. Was doing it all with knife before. Envoyé de mon iPad en utilisant Tapatalk

I've used this one for years. Works great for me. I can generally get a 30lb bag of charcoal in it with my spare charcoal basket w/splitter. COMMANDER 40-Gallon (160-Quart) Black/Yellow Tote with Latching Lid in the Plastic Storage Totes department at Lowes.com

This is interesting, I never though to cook on like a brisket. I typically make pepper stout beef with them. I think it would be a good cook for the first weekend of NFL Along with Mac&Cheese of course 😁

Lots of beautiful meals being posted !!!!!!! Just a simple sausages with peppers and onions. I get the sausage from South Market BBQ in Elgin TX. This is a mix of their country sausage and the jalapeño and cheddar. Followed by watching the sun set at the lake in the 442 😁

Let’s see if I can get this video posted FullSizeRender.mov

I live in Singapore and the humidity here averages 90%, but very frequently hits 100%. I use a Spacecase which is now owned by Pelican. It is overkill, but I had a few spare sitting around as I used to use them for travel. It keeps my charcoal and wood chunks nice a dry. https://www.pelican.com/au/en/professional/spacecase/
