Re: Sirloin tip is what they call Tri Tips here.. same or is it the last bit of Sirloin down right above the Tri Tip?

Re: Low temps Increased airflow will increase heat.. the charcoal burns according to available oxygen.

Re: For These Chefs, Even Fire Can Be Improved I thought this was really cool and I've done rosemary blasts to chicken.. In the beginning of my cook when the birdy I believe will accept the most flavor, I crank it up a bit over 300º I then toss in a bunch of rosemary directly over the hottest coals and almost shut it down. The top just barely cracked and the front wheel just a sliver. This keeps in as much the smoke as possible. I leave this for about 20 minutes before continuing. Rosemary smoke is a different flavor than just rosemary and I think that you can overdo it, so start with maybe only 5-7 full sprigs.

Re: Bronze Behemoth Game On! 2 It really does make it easy to see.. It might be our eyes too!

It's been an uphill battle but we were able to land two containers in July which finally got us up to date on orders.

Re: Komodo availability - Good & Bad News I'm flying to the factory in Java tomorrow morning to take final shots of the grills going out on Friday. If anybody has a friend who's thinking about getting a KK now is the best inventory I've had since last November..

Re: Finishing side tables

Re: Finishing side tables

Polymerized tung oil works best to seal the wood.. Polymerized tung oil works best to seal the wood.. You might need to thin it with mineral spirits. Wipe it on, let it sit 20 minutes and then completely wipe clean the surface. Wait 24 hours and repeat as needed until it stops absorbing the oil.. Do not let it set up on top of the wood. This is an "in" the wood finish not "on" the wood finish..

Re: KK as a smoker? The two different layers of insulation hold in lots of the heat. This means that you need to burn less fuel to maintain your cooking/smoking temperature, less fuel means less airflow. Your smoke stays in contact with the meat longer, giving you more smoke flavor and will loose less moisture. So yes, the KK excels as a smoker..

A charcoal's density determines burn time.. The amount of available BTUs in charcoal is directly related to weight not volume. It's the charcoal's density that determines how long it will burn.. Just like a pine log does not burn as long as an oak log. I assure you that you would only get an hour or two out of balsa wood charcoal.. Iron wood charcoal would burn for a week or more. If you recall the 82 hour burn used 16 lbs of charcoal. Carbon is carbon.. it just comes in different density and volatiles. This is why people prefer hardwood charcoal. It's of course more dense, has more BTUs per bag and burns longer with the same volume. Your KK will be happy to burn it all.. All densities of carbon require the same volume of oxygen to burn at any given temp, so your results will be the same both densities. You did notice there was very little ash.. You did not burn much carbon.. This is also why hardwood charcoal usually comes in smaller bags but has the same weight as some larger bags. I remember buying a huge bag of BGE charcoal once that weighed nothing, carried it with one hand.

Re: How to make a huge indirect cooking area Can't hurt, I'm sure there are brands of foil that might be thinner and might burn thru..

I've always taken pride in having a good section of grills in ready stock in the warehouse in Carson CA. Since last November that has not been the case and our containers have mostly been sold out before they clear customs. Because of that I started showing grills that were on the water on the inventory page, I have just begun to add grills in production to the page also. As you know tiles from batch to batch, this way you can see exactly what your grill looks like early on. This next container will be our first where we are all caught up and will have hopefully enough grills to have some ready stock again in early Sept.. Here are some shots of grills being built that are still available... 23" OTB grills "Production Shots" - target ship date Late Sept These grills are still covered with the grout material and dirty.. I'll post photos of the grills finished also.

I join American’s everywhere in remembering the past and those who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we hold dear. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families most closely touched by these tragedies. May we always fight for and cherish the freedoms which distinguish our country so their passing will not have been in vain.

Re: Side Accessory Plate Grill Hangers Heylo Roland, I'm assuming you don't like them from an aesthetic point of view because from a utilitarian point of view they are great.. I just began including them in all KK's sold because I love mine sooo much. I can stand in front of my grill, grab the HOT main grill and hang it on the left side of the KK without moving my feet. Can't imagine a better way to do a reverse sear. We are playing with putting some kind of hanger under side tables too. Yes the rods hang on the outside rod of the grills, the grills usually do not touch the body.. I don't use the rack for storage but love it for a place to put a hot greasy grill.. I have a bunch now in ready stock CA.. Like always I don't even know if we did a costing for these..

I just received this Email and thought it's best to post it here for the guy and send him a link.. I believe he's from down under.. Thanks all for you help.. Hello Dennis, i am going to be in USA from 9th-30th sept and was hoping to go and look and taste test some food from a Kk . Is there a demo shop or store where i can see this amazing product before I leap in and buy. I have many experts around me who " can't see the value in the cost" so i feel the need to do my due diligence. we will be in la, vegas, NY, Wash DC, Milwaukee and Chicago if there is an outlet displaying your unique product somewhere. hope to hear from you soon. cheers, Mark

. I've cooked a lot of piggy.. I've over brined ribs and ended up with a ham-y tasting rib but never actually made a ham from scratch.. I found one of Syzygies posts about how to calculate brine.. I assumed the 14 lb bone-in was 70% water, I then made up brine at 3% of the total. I then put the meat and brine along with about a cup of chopped chipotle chilies and about a cup of maple syrup into a food service bag. Then filled it half way with water and put a brick sized block of ice into the cooler.. I had three of these and would swap them every 10 hours or so.. I brined for 4 days, rinsed and let equalize for a day.. Put it in indirect at 225º with a big tin foil pouch of coffee chunks.. About 6 hours later it was 150º.. I cranked it up to about 400º for 20 minutes. I then pulled it and let it rest. 20 minutes later I checked the internal temp and it was 165º Perfect! I went next door and came back to find my son and wife had trimmed off some thin slices and it was hemorrhaging and loosing lots of beautiful piggy juice.. I turned it up so the missing meat was on top and it seemed to stop the juice loss.. We broke it down into the three muscle groups and then put it into the fridge so we could slice it cold the next day.. t was beautiful looking as well as tasting to say the least...
