y'all screwed when dennis comes out with the 52...

@Troble I think I’m going to need to get a roti spot for my 32, those birds look delicious! @Tyrus the color on that chicken is great! I did my first chicken cook on Sunday for an Oscars party we hosted. Two birds spatchcocked, indirect with a half basket and apple pellets in the cold smoke generator. Initially thought to cook at 250 for a while, but lunch plans ran late and I decided closer to 300 would be a safer bet time-wise. Think they ended up cooking around 290 for a couple hours. I removed the skin and pulled the meat for sandwiches with a vinegar-based sauce. The smoke flavor was perfect! Skin was a little gummy/rubbery which didn’t matter in this case since it was removed, but I think I’ll try a higher heat next time to see if I can get a nicer texture on that. Between cooking and hosting, I didn’t remember to get a single photo of the food, just the KK smoking away

"That's basically the whole plan" I like a simple plan. Can't fail. I made the same mistake as you, not buying the KK I should have first time around. I am very happy with my current 32, 23, 16 combo but I should have listened to the advice to buy the biggest I could afford instead of going for the 21, 23 combo that I did buy. That said, you have the opportunity to pick a different colour and...move over to the dark side and choose tile over pebble.

Son: "Daddy, I fell in love and want to date this awesome girl." Father: "That's great, son! Who is she?" Son: "It's Sandra, the neighbor's daughter." Father: "Ohhh, I wish you hadn't said that. I have to tell you something, son, but you must promise not to tell your mother. Sandra is actually your sister." The boy is naturally bummed out, but a couple of months later: Son: "Daddy, I fell in love again and she is even hotter!" Father: "That's great, son! Who is she?" Son: "It's Angela, the other neighbor's daughter." Father: "Ohhh, I wish you hadn't said that. Angela is also your sister." This went on a few more times, and finally the son was so mad, he went straight to his mother crying. Son: "Mom, I am so mad at dad! I fell in love with six girls and I can't date any of them because dad is their father!" The mother hugs him affectionately and says, "You can date whoever you want. He isn't your father!"

nothing pizza. just some flake salt and olive oil.

Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa with roasted potatoes and Peruvian “crack” saice

Cherry wood chicken with a Tart sauce. Topping the chicken was a total of 7 or 8 spices with a good dose of grated lemon using Truff and Olive oil to hold it on. The sauce was an emulsified Olive oil base with a white wine vinegar, from what I remeber adding was Maldon Sea salt, ground pepper, dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, fresh cut cilantro, fresh garlic, fresh tomatoe, fresh green onion top, fresh squeezed lemon, capers, yellow pepperconi and a dash of hot sauce. Use the salt at the end to open and raise the flavors some, just before you tuck it into the frig for it all to come together, 1-2 hrs. Sorry I don't use teaspoons, it's an eye thing. Sprayed chiken at 145 degrees with light spray of Canoila oil to crispen the skin. Plated with your staple norms for a few nice colors to compliment the bird. Cooked at 350+ indirect
