Re: Coffee wood impressions Must be all those cigars Mesquite of course has a lot of acid in it and the first smoke is quite bitter but very popular in Texas.. I wonder it their rubs are adjusted with more sugar to balance the acid's bitter flavor? I'm guessing that the very strong smokey taste that mesquite is famous for is from the first smoke not secondary.

Re: Meltique Beef the world's finest larded meat? Well the two modified steaks were warming up on the counter.. I answered the door and gave Alice just enough time to grab both of them and run! She's just about four months old but already 40 lbs and obviously taller than I realized. The first time I saw them and bought them I did not realize what they were. So the feedback on these will need to wait until next time but I'm not as excited about them as I was when I thought they were natural.

Re: Two KKs going to Luanda, Angola.. It's a beeotch of a location to get stuff to. Nothing really goes around the Cape anymore so it's up thru the Suez Canal across and back down the coast. They told us $840 for the two grills and 70+ days. So the air freight actually makes sense in more than a few ways..

I saw these sirloin steaks in a local market in Bali and was fascinated by the marbling.. Googled it and found this: Meltique Beef Meltique Beefs unique technique uses a highly developed method of inserting soluble oil into lean meat cuts to baste the meat internally through the cooking process. This ensures that all the natural juices are retained so the full flavour profile and tenderness of Australian beef is consistently delivered. Our method perfects the traditional French ‘larding’ process and applies it successfully to a range of primal frozen beef products at very competitive prices. It's pretty cool looking eeh? ;)

Re: Rocket I love when my mistakes work out! Thanks Slu.. KK Hero Status..

Re: bbq guru You will need the Guru short inducer tube/adapter.. You will be able to firmly tap it into the CNC cut hole in your KK's faceplate. The plug is the very porous vermiculite based insulation.. break it up knocking into the grill.

Re: Aged Strip Loin Steaks They look great.. and much larger than 1.75" ... The shot with the stacked steaks in the fridge is killing me. I gotta try this.. Any ideas except the dog for the cuttings?

Re: grilling with minimal lump Welcome to the forum, I'm so pleased to have a KK in New Zealand. I'm actually shipping two more there next week. As far as lighting charcoal you only need to light about a tennis ball worth for a low and slow cook. If you are using natural wood lump charcoal you only need to get it lit.. nothing to burn off before you use it. Please feel free to give me a call if you would like me to walk you thru your first cook...

Re: Brisket Pic and help request That's a home run.. Looks great.. Great job slicing that bad boy too.. One of the brisket tips Chris Lilly gave me was to crush about 5 beef bullion cubes and mix them with Worcestershire sauce.. This can also be injected..

Re: New Guru plug design finalized and in production After we had this prototype made up, we showed them how we wanted it and the quality necessary. We told them to make up a quality sample for us to ok and then we would make two orders of 25. They skipped the sample and delivered 25 plugs with the holes all crooked, deep scratches, visible welds etc.. They looked terrible.. they bluffed and claimed that was the best they could do. I called them on it and walked to order from another machine shop. We should be close.. All this happened over the holidays when nothing really gets do anyway..

Re: Looks like somebody is out D_J'ing D_J! I just watched that this weekend.. Gotta hand it to the guy.. His airflow coming into the stainless firebox needs some reworking but when all is said and done he's done a good job. Kudos..

Re: Brisket Pic and help request

Re: Komodo Kamado Timeline and Milestones Thank you for the kudos.. It's very rewarding to have so many happy customers who are passionate about their KK.

Re: Poll - Main and lower handle position/placement Great.. I like this. I called the factory and asked them to make a sample.

Re: Poll - Main and lower handle position/placement I can honestly say I often slide my drip pan thru the hole as an indirect heat shield.. and then also remove it with tongs and gloves later while grilling. I've also bowled wood chunks into fires before. I'm happy to put up a poll. It would be easy enough to tack it closed even tie it off with some wire..

Re: Full size KK cabinet with Cobalt Blue tile insert I'm fine with shipping them without the stone.. Much easier for us and I'm guessing it's readily available and much better selection Stateside. Maybe I should only ship them without the insert..

Re: Charcoal basket - Sear grill modification This column was inspired by this post "Grilling with minimal lump" And I've had people tell me that they cook for two and would like not to have to light the entire basket to sear two steaks. I'm sure that if I cut off all airflow except what is being forced thru the column, it would be really responsive. Maybe make the sheet metal so that one quarter can have 3 inches of charcoal along with the column.

Re: Charcoal basket - Sear grill modification
