My 5 & 7 year old girls were home sick all last week. So we started watching Masterchef Junior on Hulu. They got really into it abd are all about helping Daddy cook and they want to start making meals on their own because they are ready😀 so tonight I had them help me light the KK and season the potatoes as well as boil the green bean we did trio tip, marinated in Worcester and Montreal steak seasoning . Cooked in direct then finished/seared on lower grate tri colored potatoes with olive oil, truffle salt, rosemary and thyme. Cooked in the cast iron on the KK for 40 minutes then finished in the broiler in the oven green beans with sea salt and Parmesan cheese my 7 year old told me she wished the meat was less chewy (it’s not fillet mignon or wagyu beef….she notices) and that the potatoes needed to be more crispy but “it’s still good daddy” tough crowd……pork tenderloin coming tonight….hopefully I’ll do better

Did a pork back rib cook this afternoon, I should be doing this more often, it's so easy and very tasty. A friend brought me a batch of tahini swirls and I'm saving this one for breakfast.

Ribs and butternut pumpkin cooked the ribs for an hour and and a half then added butternut for half an hour then Hassel backed it and gave it some butter Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk

Decided to make some pork chops today, I believe it was Tyrus who initially posted the info on how to brine them ? Well I was only able to brine for a few hours but the results were really good. Next time I’ll get a good 24 hour brine on them 😁 I patted them dry and used Lanes Apple Pie seasoning 👍

Pork tenderloin. Marinated for a day. Rubbed some honey mustard on it, dusted with Lawry salt and brown sugar. Cooked indirect with apple wood and reverse seared to finish. Extremely flavorful. I do the lawrys and brown sugar regularly but added the honey mustard base this time. My oldest daughter had a huge second helping she like it so much Microwaved last nights potatoes rainbow carrots with some spices and olive oil

Finally bottled this year's batch of aji yellow hot sauce. The color is natural. Just the homegrown peppers, some garlic, a dash of seasoning salt and Xanthan gum.

The price to put in a gas line and get a side burner is as much as a new 21" KK. I'd rather have another KK.

An Old Farmer writes to his Son who is in Prison: "Dear Son, this year I won't be able to plant potatoes because I can't dig the field by myself, I know if you are here, you would have helped me". The Son writes back, "Dad don't even think of digging the field because that's where I buried all the money I stole." The Police read the letter and the next Day the whole field was dugged up looking for the money but nothing was found. The following Day the Son wrote again, 'Now plant your potatoes dad, it's the best I can do from here. '

This is a heat shield for the 22" Beast.. It prevents the material dead center of the floor directly under the firebox from heating up and expanding (at high temps) which can actually make it rock a bit.. The center expands but the outside of the grill floor does not creating a high spot dead center. This plate prevents this from happening. As I always say, physics sets the rules!
