Oooh. Exciting!!! Unfortunately my KKs are still stuck in Indonesia. Apparently there was no room on the ship last week and they are now due to leave next week. Patience is a virtue, patience is a virtue, patience is a virtue...

MacKenzie, avert your gaze ... Swordfish with mesquite smoke wood, broccoli, and wild rice mix.

Patience is overrated

Was gifted a new bbq mascot yesterday. This is Morris McCaw, made by mum. Just not sure what Morris wants to eat? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ahh Shucks.. Thanks for the Kudos!

Too late, Jon, nice try but the lovely pix caught my eye first thing. It made my mouth water until I read the caption. Originally I thought it must be an extra thick pork chop.

Hi @Sir Bill. My limited Google search tells me kamados were originally designed for cooking rice in China and were then adopted by the Japanese. I have done some Japanese grilling on my KKs and this book is a great reference https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/205426/the-japanese-grill-by-tadashi-ono-and-harris-salat/. I have not done any Indian dishes on my KK and am loving the options that @Braai-Q described. Naan in a KK? Now that sounds great.

Thanks @Braai-Q I found a copy and have ordered it

Thanks @tekobo I have picked up one from AbeBooks just now - that's the third book recommendation I have followed from you

Great idea. I'll try that next pizza cook. I've been using the steel recently but have been thinking about using the stone next time as a change up.

MOL TRADITION CURRENTLY UNDERWAY

Tong master is a recognised term in our family's vocabulary. Cooking with fire is a great skill to have though. You'll have to get them on to 20-30 hour slow cooks on the KK. I don't really know what 'boss level' is in BBQ terms - going the whole hog must surely qualify for complexity and commitment. Certainly on a Weber!!! I think you're right on the surrender. But I learnt a long time ago that you don't mess with vegans - they're angry to start with and I don't think the jokes help. 😁 Vesselfinder and Marine Traffic are both good AIS services and Dewi should give you the vessel name as part of the document set. You can set up alerts to notify you of activity and I remember the judgement I got when I did this. I think Mrs BQ called it 'the Santa NORAD tracker for grown men'. I then busted her looking at it a couple of times because she was 'interested in the route'.

Lobster season started in San Diego yesterday. We get spiny lobsters which don’t have claws but have lots of tail meat. funny thing is I haven’t cooked lobster in 20 years. It was actually one of the first things I ever grilled when I bought my first house in 2001 and I distinctly remembering grilling 4 things. Bourbon sausages, baseball cut sirloin steaks, cheese burgers and lobster always paired (all 4 of my dishes were served with sweet corn and a baked potato) I only cooked on my first propane grill. Lobster might sound weird but I lived around the corner from the fish market and they sold it $10/lb in season....this is circa 2001. They’d clean it and give me a tail and I’d grill it and thought I was fancy....and it was cheap I moved downtown for a bit a didnt have a grill for awhile and whenI finally got back to grilling they were selling our lobsters to China for $35/lb so we never had them. Due to COVID and restaurants being closed etc all the local fisherman have tons of lobster. Today it was $16/lb. I cooked it in the KK at 375 basted with butter, garlic, salt, pepper and chives. Served with Yukon good mashed potatoes with sour cream, Parmesan, chives and garlic and grilled asparagus over mesquite wood with coco char freaking amazing! My wife didn't like lobster, it’s not something we really order out but she loved it tonight. I’ll be cooking it again while this lobster is in season

@AJR so this happened yesterday....I got a boneless leg of lamb marinating in my fridge outside for two days that I’m planning on cooking on the spit in my KK on Sunday when my wife’s good friend from LA is driving down with her aunt and husband I wake up at 3:30am and see the power is out...COOL! Let’s see how the battery performs. I took a few screenshots through the night, but the power was out 11 hours. I was able to be completely unaffected the whole time. AC ran, cars got charged, cooked breakfast on my electric stove, kids watched cartoons and all the food I bought and prepped in my fridge was unaffected.

Tyrus here is my mascot. Kenny, God of Kamados. Kenny guards over cooks to ensure every meal is a winner! Actually we picked him up in Papua New Guinea 50 years ago. Fearsome looking dude eh? I’ll be keeping an eye out for his partner. Don’t want him getting lonely...... or angry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
