Just had my annual ‘boys night’ for some friends, and cracked out a brisket and some ribs with roast potatoes, coleslaw, espresso bbq sauce, smoky salsa, horseradish cream and pickles. Given it was dinner, I got things on early in the day and cooked at 285F. The brisket was interesting as it was a bit smaller at 4.2kg, and it powered through without much of a stall in 7hrs, so had a long rest before serving. Slightly sore head this morning, but an excellent night.

Maybe soon enough people will know what a KK is, and they’ll quit asking “is that like a green egg?” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I had a dollar for everytime someone said that to me I'd buy a second KK lol

It all looks great !!!! I'd eat all of those potatoes and be looking for more lol

Looks great Remi! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then I won’t mention the duck breasts that may have been cooked yesterday lol

Haven't done a pork roll since I don't know when. This is a 5lb pork loin stuffed with Pepperidge Farm herb stuffing with cranberry, golden raisin, honey crisp apple, green onion and zucchini. Wrapped with 1lb of bacon and dusted with a sweet pork rub. I had a bottle of pork gravy which went well but the BBQ sauce BRDSLR recently posted was very good with it also. Actually my niece enjoyed it so much she asked to take some home, no problem. Comfort food in New England in the winter.Forgot the asparagus.

I'm a boy too, and after seeing all those fantastic favorites I like..... a very lonely one too. Good job, lucky guests

You did it up right! Oh, and the food looks great, too! 😄

I got a response from Combustion support today: "We've seen this issue on a few grill models where the stock probe length isn't ideal. The good news is we're actively producing longer and shorter probe options to fit different configurations. We expect to have those options available to share soon. [...] In the meantime, your workaround of removing the metal backing plate and insulation should work. The probe should still read correctly with limited penetration since the sensor is at the tip. Just be careful with the stability since you can't clamp it inside." Chris also posted some pics over on Reddit showing the 3D-printed stainless steel prototypes. I'm very happy they're working on a longer probe!

i wonder if this works for $7 USD..😅 the probes are wired and connect to the display. still a short stem thermometer.

That's crazy. Being a young tech enthusiast I bought all of the gizmos and gadgets for my KK when I first started. Meater, Firebird 2 Pro, Thermapen, K-Type Dome probe, etc. In the ned, they just added more stress than they were worth. I HATE cords and the most reliable tech I used were the wired probes. In the end, I sold all of it and am back to the basics of my KK. Fill the basket full of lump, light a chimney of lump, pout it on, set the vents, and away it goes. I sleep 100X better and my cooking is 0% stress. Prior, I was checking the data, adjusting the probes, removing probes to wrap or mess with the meats, and it all just became such a pain int he ass. Furthermore, I live in Wisconsin so it gets cold as hell and most of these gadgets are all China junk and don't hold a charge or become so brittle when I cook at it's below 0F. In full transparency, I do use two RFX probes and those are handy at times. I had my growing pains with those as I had a few bad probes that needed to be replaced. The ones I have now work great but I try my best not to use them. Thermapen One for the win. It's the only BBQ gadget I can't live without after all of that.

That would be great !!!!

Should be in about 8-9 weeks at our current rate! My head is spinning to think 200k viewers watched the full 25 minutes! I can't imagine this will not drive crazy sales in the spring..

@tekobo i don't know if asahi offers a sponge sanding block, but hasegawa has one to smooth out the board after heavy use. but i've never been able to smooth out the surface other than raising up even more plastic "fur" on top. but again, microplastics don't bother me. i'm asian and immune to it from years of eating hot foods out of plastic bags. and because i'm unable to smooth the board out, i am leaning towards wood (endgrain) for my next board. and if it dulls my knives a little faster, so be it. i rather enjoy sharpening anyway.. if i have to buy another synthetic, it would be the the black asahi for plebs, not the pro kind..
