Ing 1: Orange Juice (freshly squozed, of course) Ing 2: Fish Sauce (a.k.a. nouc mam) Ing 3: "Smooshed" Garlic (or powdered, if you must) 1:1 mix of OJ and FS with as much SG as ya like(I like a lot so--at least 3 cloves) (see? Easy!) Put in a Ziploc with your Pork Parts To Be Grilled or Smoked. Chops and loins are super soaked in this-"Country Style Ribs"are,too. No, really they are! The whole is definitely greater than the sum of the parts. dub(props to Jack Schidt for this one-he is indeed a brave man)

They seem to have colored slightly. Perhaps from embarrassment when the lid was unexpectedly opened?

Not sure how much longer the local corn is going to be available, so trying to get it as often as possible. Grilled pork tenderloin and cherry peppers. AL pouch is spuds and onions. Ate indoors, as it's turned cool here. Thankfully it's warmer this coming week.

Spur of the Moment Cook. It's hard to cook meat in the kitchen with a KK sitting idle in the ODK. I had a pound of lean ground pork that needed to be cooked. Wasn't looking forward to it as I thought it might be more greasy than I'd like. Any made a little meat loaf and put it on the KK. Pixs not great but the meatloaf was very tasty. Plated.

Looks great !!!

I’m oncall at work this week, so had to go in this morning… and this is where I really love the KK. Rubbed up a 2kg pork neck last night before bed. Lit the KK when leaving for work at 7:45am, chucked the pork on when I returned a few hours later. Cooked 3hr at 285F before wrapping in foil, then other 2 hours before a 3hr rest. Dinner for the family for the next couple of nights sorted, even though I’m working the weekend. Lovely.

To move one took a Caterpillar about the size of a D-8 or larger. We had a TD-25 on the property moving stumps and that got the job done more quickly. The D-8 was fun to drive compared to all the lever pulling and gear shifting on my antique D-2 Caterpillar. All the Kamado style cookers I have had have all been a manual affair and that was one of the things I enjoyed about it. Like cooking on a wood fired cookrange, it took paying attention to the fire, and therefore slowed you down from the frenetic pace of modern life.
