sourdough batard on a steel with a steam bar on the mid rack. all vents closed once bread was in. this steam bar produces a lot of steam it was coming out from the bottom vent. with all vents closed, it went from 260c to 220c in 20 min. this got me a blond loaf fully expanded, but no color. so maybe i should have started at 270-280c. i snuffed out the fire in doing this and finished the baking in the house oven. i normally don't bake bread unless i have a lot of left over fuel and the kk is already hot. but it's still more practical in a house oven.

Hello KK family!! Just an update to my last post. After experimenting with Kingsford's Professional Briquettes in my KK with great results . I then tried Costco's Kirkland Professional Briquettes 30 lbs for $14.99. I used 1/3 of a basket. The results were also fantastic. High heat long burn low ash. I grilled Flat Iron steak marinated with Teriyaki , chicken Kebobs, Brats with roasted potatoes. I was grilling at 450 degrees. I Would Highly recommend both of these Briquettes . I Was very Impressed with how they both preformed. I Also had 1/2 basket left of useable briquettes. George Baralis IMG_4716.mov

Hello KK family!! Happy Memorial Day !! Thank you to all who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Because of them we are able to enjoy the peace and freedom we now have !!. I have done 3 cooks using Kingsfords Professional Competition Briquettes on my KK. They are made with premium wood char and produce low ash. They are safe for use our KK's. Naked whiz rates them very high and also recommends them for ceramic use. Also bought them at Costco on sale $ 17.99 for a 2 pack 18 lbs each reg $22.49. So $.50 per lb. High heat low ash long burn time what more could you ask for ? Perfect for quick grilling of steaks, burgers, dogs as well as longer cooks without breaking the bank. No problem lighting with my Grillblazer gun with No sparks or popping when lighting!! Used 1/4 basket when I grilled a tomahawk steak, flat iron ,chicken, dogs .burgers ,and Kebobs along with corn on the cob. I maintained between 375-425 when grilling and did that for approximately 3hrs30 minutes. Was extremely happy with these briquettes I would highly recommend them to all!!! Enjoy the holiday and hopefully its sunny where you are as its been pouring here since Friday and not ending till Monday afternoon !! P.S. Costco also has Briquettes under the Kirkland name for the KK low ash and high temp as well, I will be using that next. $14.99 for 30lbs. Will update with a comparison after my cooks!!

Chorizo. If you see this Remi I left the recipe. Now I do vary it to my liking by adding green & red peppers, jalepeno, onion, provolone, and three heaping tblspn of hot crushed peppers. The sausages have a tendancy of reaching temp quicker on the edges on the offset so I pile them up and bring em all up to temp in the middle at the end. 8lbs of delicousness
