Really great ending to what could have been a crappy story. Love to see it in action.

Only off by 20 minutes sounds on time to me.

A week or two cooking on a KK and your husband will be wondering why you didn't get one sooner. Congratulations.

Really great looking cook. Very tasty. I wish I could find a decent local butcher but alas I live in the middle of nowhere.

Sounds like you and your buddies had a good time getting it in place. Looks great.

Low-n-slow 250-300 Md heat 375-450 High heat searing (CI or grate) 500 minimum Low-n-slow and MD heat always gets a diffuser and sometimes a drip pan. High heat is always direct. Other than that if I'm following a recipe I'll go with whatever temp it says.

I was about to do a standard reply but then I noticed this thread was from May 2013

Nice. I've never laid out a time line like that. Will be interesting to hear about the time line results and weather you got it right or what you would change next time. My time lines are more like this. "Here drink this, refills are plentiful, diner will be ready in a while." Hours later guests are intoxicated so they can't tell if it tastes crappy anyway - LOL

I brought the brisket flat. July 4th it will be.

I have visions of Loranna Bobbit dancing through my head - eeeekkk

Nope not yet, but soon. Akorn Jr already packed in the car ready to go. Leaving for vacation tomorrow morning. I'll post some Jr pictures as the next week or so progresses. I have a frozen brisket flat I might take with me - hhhhhhhmmmm Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Awesome job on the pizzas. It's been a couple of weeks since I've cooked a pizza. This post is making me crave a pizza.

I have a small suv type vehicle so it would fit just not sure if the wife or son was up to lifting it into the back - they are scared they would drop it and I'd have to buy another one - LOL Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Most people take their partners on the honeymoon;) But considering you cook in a 10 inch electric skillet..... LOL - Yea I took her too. 1st half of honeymoon was in a cabin. Had to take a kamado so I could not only steal her heart but also her stomach and taste buds. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

No KK on vacation although I did consider it. I'll take my Akorn Jr. It's a very capable Jr sized kamado. I've taken it on vacation a few times and on my honeymoon. I've cooked just about everything on it except brisket. It'll hold a 7# butt, a decent sized prime rib roast. Can easily get 16+ hours Low-n-slow. Prometheus might be jealous but he'll have to get over it - LOL - if he wasn't such a fattie I could get him in the back of the car.

If I'm planning something for guests or the challenges and it's something new I'll always do a few test cooks just to make sure it's right. My family already knows a lot of what I cook is an experiment so they are always prepared for the worst.

LOL - you all are the best. The responses got me laughing good. I use to do a lot of electric fry pan cooks before my kamado days. With a little imagination I can usually make anything work. I'm going on vacation to sometime around July 10th so I'll be missing the KK for sure but .................. I am taking my Akorn Jr with me and I'll pull off a couple of kamado cooks while away. Of course I'll post them.

A really nice looking fish and a great cook. Love the beer can cook.

I am about to go on vacation so last night I moved the KK into the house. This is my "nothing to do with the grill" cook. I actually used a cheapie $10 electric fry pan - eeeekkk - LOL 1" thick pork Tenderloin Chops done Italian style. Onions, garlic, sweet peppers, Asiago cheese and a marinara type sauce served with angel hair pasta.

I'm going to definitely give it a try one day.

It all looks good to me. But I do understand about things not working out as planned. Looked like you pushed through regardless. 1/2 my cooks I consider just barely dog food even when my wife and son love them. Only every once in a while I hit a true home run in my mind.

Very nice - never thought of doing upside down Spaghetti.

The stuff I buy is usually located in the grocery store near where the fresh herbs are located. It is whole cloves, peeled and basically packed dry. It comes in plastic bag packaging which contain 6 or eight small vacuum sealed bags each with about 10 + cloves. I have bought the same thing in a jar before but lately I'm getting the bagged version.

Nice pictures and delicious looking wings.

That looks like a really good time with good eats. Wish they would do something like that where I live.
