    Re: Has anyone tried a salt crusted prime rib ??

    People on this site I found seem to give it rave reviews.. ONly mention of salt is that you cant use the drippings because of salt. I suspect when properly done.. The crust simply holds in moisture and does not overly salt the meat.

    Just do it then!

    Is "I suspect when properly done.." your reaction to those with dislike opinions? because speaking for myself I think I did it properly.

    My opinion. If you're not familiar with rubs keep it simple. Rub with sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, evoo, and French's yellow mustard make a great pork butt.

    Good luck and Happy Q'ing!

    And for goodness sake don't forget the pictures!!

    Re: Bronze Behemoth Game On! 2

    Doc, Did you try the Pecan's yet, shell and all?

    You lost me on the "lump charcoal is not wood burned down in to coals". Maybe not coals, as in just prior to ash, but it's wood burned down to something between wood and coals eehhh? What ever that's called. Which can be re-lit then taken to coals.

    Could stopping the burning process (creating lump) cause a different flavor?

    TNW, shed some light please?

    Well' date=' I thought a strap wrench may or may not work, but what the hell, I'll try it.[/quote']

    Just please be careful Doc. I'd hate to have something I suggested go wrong. Remember I'm using it on a POSK that already has issues, NOT one of Dennis's awesome Komodo Kamado's. You might want to check with Dennis first.

    Re: POSK Stuck Damper Remover

    I wanted to use a strap wrench on my KK' date=' but the hemispherical shape of the top damper won't allow it to grip.[/quote']

    That's the beauty of this tool, it's all soft material, grips an edge vers slips. To make it work required centering the strap material all the way around damper along the edge of the hemispherical circle. As the tool tightened, exerting force at a slow pace, the fabric flexed across the sharp hemispherical edge (cradleing it) thus helping keep the edge of damper centered in strap material. I wouldn't try it with a metal strap wrench for fear of chipping tile.

    The force required to move stuck damper threads was not so much it would have broke ceramic. Had it felt even close I'd of fired up my Oxy/Acy torch. :wink:

    That's it; a glorified strap wrench!!! I couldn't think of the name!!

    I was so darn proud of myself, how easy it was to build, and how well it worked; I just had to show it off as an alternative to heat.

    Took all of 5 minutes to build using scraps laying around the garage. And it really worked great.

    It finally happened to my POSK. from Richard Johnson NOT a KOMODO KAMADO. Except this was Not an OVERTIGHTENED stuck damper, this was GUNKED UP THREADS stuck damper. I could clearly see daylight between the mating surfaces. But, as I was opening/unscrewing the damper/hat it became harder and harder to unscrew, feeling as though threads had crossthreaded themselves, trying both directions just got harder and harder, finally coming to a dead halt. I couldn't budge it. I had thought about this idea many times reading about stuck dampers, torches, high temp cooks, etc., but I never had a reason to try it. All it took was a 24" 2"X4" board, 5' of 1" strapping, and a saw. It's all about leverage. I hope the pictures speak for themselves. It really worked great.

    I'll be turning up the heat for the finish next time. Thanks.

    I just polished off a bowl of chicken tortilla soup; somehow didn't quite hit the spot like those ribs would have.

    I feel a rib cooking weekend coming on.

    Re: First Cook

    Thanks. I didn't think they looked like they had been in foil. My best results come when doing it the same way you did. Except I struggle with getting the sauce to come out looking as good as yours. Do you turn up the heat for the sauce portion, last 30 minutes?

    3-2-1 foil method tends to come out a bit too fall off the bone for my preference.
