it is moved and the movers ignored all common sense. they let us take the lid off at least, then these little guys from India just picked it up and carried it up the stairs - 5 of them managed. plenty of cursing but they managed and nobody got hurt and the KK survived.

bak kwa this is like a marinated minced meat snack from south asia. it's like caramelized grilled pork jerky. this stuff costs around $40 USD/lb in a shop.. first time using coco char. i bought it from amazon! 😅

Looks very tasty, David. 👍👍

@David Chang - I hear the frustration of trying to keep the pellets going, even if you clean out the tar. A trick that seems to work OK for me, is to periodically just tap the side of the tube with some tongs to help knock down the ash and cause the pellets to fall down into the burning area. The downside is, of course, you're still having to babysit it, but at least you're not burning through your fuel cans relighting it.

4th of July grilled chicken for Caesar salad Ready to go

I forget to take pics after carving the brisket but everyone was thrilled with the results. Too bad we were all full after snacking in bread waiting for others to arrive lol

happy 4th of july (5th where i am now) but i made candied smoked salmon for the first time. not the color and texture i was hoping for but its edible. i struggled with the cold smoke tube. using pellets but constantly having to relight. i'm going to try bigger wood chips next time like the one @DennisLinkletter used in his yt video, and if that doesn't work, i'm putting this thing away for good. i think i wasted half a can of butane trying to relight it every 15 min..

Well, the "experiment" was a big success! And, I did end up breading one thigh in AP and cornstarch with some SPG and frying it (cast iron - of course!) You can really taste the pickle flavor. The rest of the thighs got grilled, along with some corn. Direct, 325F for an hour. Plated with homemade potato salad and a nice chardonnay. Again, you could taste the pickle flavor in the chicken. The corn was surprisingly good. Don't know where the supermarket got it, as it's way too early for local corn - about another month. Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

The brisket it going well, I wrapped at 5AM. Right after the internal temp got to 3114 😳 And then I put in a spare meat probe and sat down and ordered a replacement from Thermoworks. I’m done with stock probes , only Thermoworks probes for now on !!!!! I do brisket at 235 but up that to 250 after wrapping if I need to hit a deadline

made another pizza today with some nice cornicione action. spicy salciccia is so much better than pepperoni..

yeah, when i removed the air pin. i could not see light through it and no air came out after blowing into it so it was totally clogged. i don't think i will go back to pellets. when i dumped mine out from the last cook, it started to clump together due to the humid weather..
