Tucker

That is really a talent you have there Sanny.... Beautiful socks!

upper grill use thx Dennis - I will remember that next time.

Tent-ing Oh, yeah, foil them up when you take them off the grill, let them rest for at least 20-30minutes before eating.

Chicken T - backyard looks vnice! Yes - drink the beer - leave the moist chicken to the KK. I have done mine on rotis and spatchcock with the best of results. get the Chris Lilly cook book and try the loaf pan chick also -

Decided to do some ribs for dinner tonight. SAM's club baby backs. 250 for 5 hrs 2 racks with Dizzy Pig Dizzy Dust and one rack with Williams & Sonoma Rib rub. Spray with apple juice every hour. used apple wood chunks. makes for a good Sat night!

Fully Cooked Ham This is an oven recipe that we just put on the KK. Really have not thought about doing a fresh ham, but now that you mention it.. maybe in the near future.

no it doesn't substantially change the interior flavor. it provides a great background flavor

Ham recipie This is how my wife and I prepare ham. small chunk of apple wood. One fully cooked ham lay it face down in a rectangle foil pan. Cut diagonal lines in it, from one edge all the way over the top and back. Make the cuts about 3/8" deep. rub thoroughly with yellow mustard. coat liberally with brown sugar. Whole can of sliced pineapple - hang the slices on the ham with toothpicks and pour the juice over the ham. cook in the KK @350f for 2-3 hrs. the edges of the cuts will brown up nicely.

Face? Not sure I see what you are looking at. can you elaborate?

Dowels Thanks Dennis.. they are the primary connectors. I prefer to use no-nails if possible.

Nice View to go with the KK! Great view, what body of H2O is that? (pretty cool avatar also)

We needed a place to put our outdoor wireless speakers, flip-flops and various other small items so I thunk this up and again, as usual, went from brain cell to saw to get this into reality... the body itself is birch ply stained and oiled, the rest is all cedar oiled.

iTit I hear ya Dennis, but won't they get even more angry with us when we put our ears up to the speakers? (can anyone say surround sound?)

Grilled bird WOW.....

Turkey cook time We do a Turkey each Thanksgiving 25-30#. Typically at 300-350 we go for about 6hrs. Test it by temp probe in the space between the leg and the body. Or when the leg falls off

This is a recipe I got from a bartender at a famous Chef's restaurant in Orlando. If you like coffee / espresso, you'll love this cocktail.... 2 ounces Espresso Vodka ¾ ounce Dark Crème deCacao ½ ounce Kahlua 1 shot Espresso ½ ounce Agave Nectar (can be purchased at a Whole Foods type store)

Pics from steak night viewtopic.php?t=2067&highlight= I mistakenly used a marinade with a good bit of sugar in it and the outside charred some. But it did not affect teh steaks at all, they were outstanding!

Foil or no Foil In Chris's book he has a 4hr recipie that includes a foil stage, they are excellent. I have never foiled for 100% of the cook. I usually do w/o foil, just dry rub using a rib rack to hold them on edge. 250-270 for 4.5hrs results in the meat having to be gently pulled from the bones, not really any effort at all, but it is not falling off the bone. I use a deflector and drip pan always. Try another 30min on your cook time.

Manual Temp control on KOmodo This is an excerpt from the beta manual Dennis provided when I received my 1st KK. Helped me tremendously with controlling the temps.

Out standing - here's to many enjoyable Kooks

My 2cents on ribs.... I have used the rib rack from Southern Steamers so I can do up to 9 racks at a time, typical cook time is 5-6 hrs at 200-210. Dry rub 'em and they come out great every time. I recently did my 2nd cook using Chris Lilly's 4 stage rib process (wet) from his book. Total cook time is ~4hrs. all I can say is WOW. This is a fool proof way to get some great ribs in a very short time. This may be my favorite method, fast and super.

Dennis' Teak cabinets link here is the link where the topic starts. viewtopic.php?t=2143&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=cabinet&start=105

RE: Storing accessories - teak cabinet? I solved this dilemma for myself in my workshop: This is the link to the "Outdoor Cabinets/Carts" post in the KOmodo General section. viewtopic.php?t=2223&start=30 Dennis had embarked on the path of building teak cabinets, just not sure where that stands. I can't put my finger on the link in the forum, sorry.

Yes, yes he is. Does the term "Head and Shoulders above the rest" mean anything to you? Look in the dictionary, you know the drill......
