It has been ages since I've posted a KK cook so here goes. Arthritis is taking it's toll on me making it hard to do lots of things but I just had to do a chicken cook on the KK because we all know the KK does the best job on chicken. It didn't disappoint. I loved the flavour of the chicken.

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

18 lb brisket at 9 hours in, i'm happy with the bark so time to wrap. I'm thinking 4 hours wrapped and I'll be placing it in the cooler for a nice 5 hour nap before serving From start to finish it should be 13 hours at 235 degrees.

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

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.

Thanks for you comment gcb, This time it was just a simple rub with garlic powder, some hot paprika mixed with a chicken rub that someone sent me. You really don't need much when doing it on the KK. Stay tuned, another cook could happen.😀🤞

@remi - Thanks. Just what I was looking for. A couple more questions - how long does it take to cook (guessing 30 minutes once you add the stock to the rice)? Do you raise the temperature at the end to get the socarrat? @C6Bill - nice looking brisket!

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.

Hello Mackenzie !!! Looks fantastic! What did you flavor the chicken with? Also very sorry to hear about the Arthritis I know how that can make everyday tasks extremly difficult. My prayers are with you. My mom suffered many years with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Looking forward to your next post with pictures. George

Yeah- I reckon around 30min once rice and stock are in. Given that there is very frequent opening of the lid for all of the various steps, the temp isn’t really 300F and climbs quite a bit… so there has always been socarrat!

Looks great McKenzie! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Smoked a Costco Prime Brisket using Goldie’s resting method. Came out great. Here’s the basics. 1. Worcestershire Binder 2. Light sprinkle of Garlic Salt and Lawery's Seasoning Salt 3. Rub 2 to 1/2 Pepper to Salt 4. Dry Brine over night 5. Harry Soo’s Weber Smokey Mt wood/charcoal setup. If you are not using this, you are missing out. 6. Inject the flat with beef tallow 7. 250 degrees. No cruching, No spritzing. Threw fat scraps on my perforated heat deflector. Rendered fat = incredible flavor profile. 8. Pulled when the point probed like butter and the flat was 195 9. Goldie’s - foil wrap twice. Be sure to put a dig scoop of tallow under the point. Into a foil pan, 1/2 cup of water, foil cover over the pan. 10. Put into my Igloo Sous Vide warming cooler at 160 degrees for 22 hours. Brevel Toaster oven works too. Aggressive trimming and a long controlled rest key to a perfect brisket evert time.
