  1. Had some good friends over last night and they requested brisket. Picked up a monster 8kg (17.5lb) brisket with a 4+ marble score. Given the size I decided on an overnight cooking session at traditional low and slow temp (225F). Only the second time I’ve done that, as I usually do a 285-300F 8-9hr cook during the day. Estimated it would take 12-14hrs, allowing for a long rest. Put it on at 11:30pm, it was ready for wrapping at 9:30am, and came off at 2:30pm, so 15hrs all up. 4 hr rest in the esky (cooler). Couple of racks of ribs as well, served with salad, coleslaw, roast potatoes, horseradish cream, smoked salsa and espresso BBQ sauce. My god- it was far and away the most amazing brisket I’ve ever experienced, even the flat was so fall apart moist and tender that it almost defied belief. Don’t know if it was the low and slow, the quality of the brisket or the long rest- but I’m only ever doing brisket this way from now on. Very happy guests!

  2. This is a sample of what I’ve been cooking on the KK lately, lot of chicken breast used for other things this is a Mexican bowl and I used my ONE Fueryr avocado that I got from the tree I planted four years ago to just aji a the avocado instead of making guacamole. Fuerte is one of my favorites and I’m looking forward to staring to grow my harvest exponentially this year

  3. Not one to be outdone, I started to look up avocado plants that might survive the UK climate. Pulled myself out of that rabbit hole when I remembered that I probably eat no more than 2 avocados a year and that increasing my intake by the magic of shopping might be a better option.

  5. Very cool day here in New England and a TriTip on the menu. This was a bit of a process, last years coals in this cooker were uncooperative, inheritently they burn down to smalls which inhibit air flow, a distraction, an effort that eventually after a lenghty considerable time they do come to rise...then it happened. The cook was on, time to make love...and so we did. It was a marinated piece in a Japenese BBQ sauce overnite and then fork tendered for texture a few hundred times to soften. Placed on the grill with wrapped potatoes in a Southwestern rub, flipped twice and all was nice. Started with a Carrot soup to begin having a peanut butter final addition, cashews on the top then all plated with Cheesy Mex Cauliflower and soft tender potatoes.

  13. @remi - very nice brisket cook (+ sides!) I'm betting it was the quality of the meat that was the key difference.

  14. I bet you did though, you have to dress it up to play it up. The steak was wonderful, I lit up a cigarette right after.

  21. Just wanted to take a second to check in and say hi. I recently purchased a 23 Ultimate Cobalt Blue KK with tiles. The grill was delivered in early February. Unfortunately, I didn't get any good pictures or videos during delivery. The grill showed up around dark and I needed to get it unpacked, out of the driveway, and in place since rain was expected for several days. Fortunately, I had watched several videos and read numerous posts here, which made unpacking and moving the grill to its permanent home very easy. I did the burn in a day or two after I received the grill and have been cooking non stop ever since. The grill is fantastic as is all the food that's been cooked so far. As you can see in one of the pictures, my wife has started cooking on the grill too (it was a struggle to get her on board with purchasing the grill, but I think she's sold on it now). Looking forward to sharing more cooks and reading more from others in the future. IMG_20250301_200749.heic

  22. Woo, Hoo! We hit 74F yesterday (this is after 4" of snow last Friday!), so off to the grill we go! Tonight it's Pork Wings. Done @ 250F (w/Guru - I went out to the brewery for a cold one to celebrate while the wings smoked), indirect, hickory & apple chunks in the smoker pot, smoked for 4 hours. Plated with yellow rice (Sazon Tropical) and sauteed green beans.

  24. Prepping for Super Bowl tonight. We are in Italy and our friend is going to open his bar so we can watch the game from 00:30 tonight. I will be introducing the Italians to Franks Hot sauce and blue cheese dressing. Not brave enough to try to get my KK 16 down in the lift and down the road to the bar and so we will be using their professional oven. Here is what 5kg of wings, neatly prepared by our local butcher, look like. Dry marinade applied, now waiting in the fridge. Fly Eagles Fly!

  25. I had one of the early generation 19" and 23", when I moved to NYC the 23" came with me (probably should have been the 19", but c'est la vie!). Now we've got a place in San Diego and rather than trying to ship the 23" there, we decided it was time for an upgrade. This thing is built like a tank! And I mean the crate, the KK itself is more like a beautiful bomb shelter. I love the little details you've added over the past 15 years and the fact that 750lbs of stuff can be uncrated and moved to position by myself is phenomenal attention to detail. More pics to come, I'm sure, but I was so excited I forgot to install the thermometer before snapping this one!
