  1. Re: Smelling like Q?

    Secondly, how do you manage not to stink of smoke when you use the KK? I always have to shower after cooking because I stink like smoke.

    Thanks

    I'm in the same boat and am forced by my lady to shower multiple times or have to sit on the floor with my dog..

    The solution:

    I've set up a fan to blow across the cooker from the side, a little to the front.. does a great job in keeping the smoke away from me.

    But that damn smoke is sure sticky..

    :eek::eek:

    You have inspired me to smoke my annual cigar when using the smoker. Kill 2 birds with one stone

    That way it saves an extra shower :-)

  2. First used 1 cup of cocunut cream ( the stuff that rises to the top of cocunut milk) and heated with the curry till oil appeared on surface..

    Then cooked in some cubed chicken breast , then another cup of cocunut milk. Cooked in some cubed potato and onion till soft. Served on Basmati rice with basil garnish .. Voila.. :-) Yellow curry is very spicy but not really hot.

  3. roughly how long do you cook your ribs. ? Loin or baby back, Temp ??

    JUst asking a few others for the secret of life .. :-)

    Do you let the meat shrink back a little on the bones or not ??

    I have seen 2 schools on that one..

    You don't have to kill me if you tell me.. :-) Hopefully.

  4. Dub' date=' where can one get the canned curry? I hate pounding toxic glop. :([/quote']

    I have used the canned Thai curry's as well with great sucess. There are about 4 or 5 or more different kinds made but they all seem to be made by the outfit pictured in the previous posts.. Very available at asian grocery.

    I guess a purist would try to make their own.. As to the fish sauce ingredients, It all smells pretty rough but when blended in it is a wonderful and rich flavor. We do make our own indian curry's but that is basically just blending the fresh spices.

  5. I did the no knead dough a bunch of times.. Great as bread but would never work as pizza dough.. I guess dennis can't do this but my neighbors go to a local pizza shop (nearest one is 40 min away :-)) and buy the dough and then freeze it .. seems to work

  6. DJ is absoloutly right.. The problem is in your top hat setting..

    I open the top wide and open the guru damper all the way and even crack the bottom door a little when starting.. Once you have a little overshoot on the temperature , close the guru to about 1/2 or so and the bottom door completely closed..

    The top hat should be almost tight. 1/8th of a turn can be enough..for a 250 degree cook Your experience may vary.. but not much.. I know it is hard to believe but the 10 cfm fan will supply the right air flow .smoke will pour out of the KK.. even the top.. Dennis says as well , adjust the top down till you can just feel heat coming out of it..

  7. Its a pretty simple system.. Just cracking the valve with the regulator off and getting flow will isolate the tank as a problem.. After that it is going to be dirt clogging the orifice or regulator.. or the regulator has failed
