I forgot to take pics while it was cooking but here is the final result 😁

Had some neighbors over for a Spanish themed paella dinner that turned out great. Made paella with chorizo, scallops, shrimp, and clams. Also made homemade gazpacho and sangria that were great accompaniments! Fun night! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

While my 1st paella turned out tasty, i didn't quite get the soccarat. The rice was brown on the bottom, but not crispy. Had hungry guests to feed.

I did another rib cook last evening. Used the 16 inch KK. Cooked 4.5 hours at 250F The 16inch KK was rock solid for the entire cook. 😁 Ribs are ready to fall off the bone. Underside. Plated with some roast potatoes and roasted red onion which turned purple.🙃 I know you can't tell from these pixs but the ribs were wonderful. 🥰

I did ribs for one, me, today. Found these at the bottom of the freezer (There is more.) from 2023 so I thought I'd better cook them. 😀 They might have been old but I thoroughly enjoyed them. I got the KK a little hot 330F for the first hour but shut the vents down so only a crack still open and ended up doing most of the cook at 260F.

Half grate, foil under. Temp 400 ish for one hour 5 min. It was a big chicken, 6.5 lbs !!!!

Made a rack of St Louis on the KK tonight but this was more about fitting tops on the old sewing machine bases that have been taking up space in the garage. The smaller thicker top was completed a year ago and the wider thinner top was just completed. Seems my thickness planer had a mind of it's own and severely damaged the wider top. I managed to save it but matching thicknesses were out of reach. Wood was reclaimed Douglas Fir from an old ice house built 1853 in New Bedford Mass, one treated with UV Poly urethane and the other was a water base UV Poly. The ribs were good, used BRDSLR's BBQ sauce, my second batch. One of these will stand by my KK and the other by another as sturdy workhorses.

Made these for World Cup final. Meant to posted Sando pics but forgot to take them pulled pork turned out great

A nice grilled dinner. Suya pepper beef skewers, cheesy spuds in beef tallow (an omage to RFK, Jr), local corn.

As they say TonyB, practice makes perfect! Post pics! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nicely done, Steve. We also had sangria - white variety - peaches, white grapes, and strawberries in moscato, topped off with Cava. I get another try at the paella this Friday for out-of-town guests. This one will be seafood. Hoping that I've gained enough experience to get the soccarat this time?

Looks good to me !!!!!!’

How did you cook it - rotisserie, top grate, etc.? Looks perfect!

C6Bill, WOW🥰
