I'm with Tekobo, I use and old soup can that I flatten on one side and scoop up the ashes into a waiting small bucket. Do it from inside the KK after taking the grates out. Easy peasy, no fuss, no muss. Not to mention it doesn't have to be spic and span inside the firebox.

@Poochie, thanks and I agree the KK does do a marvelous job on chicken, it is always nice and moist.

It was a miserable day, cloudy with strong cold north west winds but that doesn't stop a KK rotisserie cook.

@ Tony and Bill, I think it was Robert's brisket cook.

Caroline, your KK is gorgeous and so clever of you to realize that those pebbles will make your KK cook faster and the food taste better.

Caroline, welcome and yes, best to arrange for help, better safe than sorry. Don't forget to take pixs, we love seeing new arrivals.

Beautiful pixs, Bill.

Spring is so close, Tyrus I can smell it.

You can say that again Bill and unless the forecast has changed there is a waring out for Mon. 15-25cms of the white stuff.

Wet snow falling all day didn't hinder this KK cook of baby back pork ribs. About 5.5 hours at 260ish. Plated.

Now, that is fun with food.

Bill, I'd love to be one of those eating a corned beef sandwich on your homemade rye bread.

I moved from the Primo, similar to the BGE to a KK, there is a world of difference not to mention a world of difference in the taste of the food. The KK will take your food to the next level.

@Wobster, I have never owned a BGE but did own 2 different Primo grills, then moved to the KK. There is a world of difference between the two, not just the purchase price but the taste of the food moved to the next level when I bought the KKs. Not only that, there are no cracked fireboxes etc. to worry about. I wish I had bought the KK in the first place and saved the agony. I have never regretted getting the KK for one second.

These are indeed long term investments but I've found there are really no shortcuts.

I've been roasting coffee beans for ages with the Hottop Roaster. I have been happy with the results but I am no expert.

There you go, Poochie.

@Tony, a feast indeed.

@Troble, I agree getting back into KK cooking is just like riding a bike and you did a great job proving that point.

That would be me Pouchie.

Finally some warmish weather. I decided to make the most of it with a KK wing cook. Yummie. Steamed some cabbage then charred it a little. It was wonderful to be cooking in the ODK. 😍

Dinner looks soooo tasty.

Tekobo, that is my go to recipe for pizza dough been using it for years and it has never let me down.:)

It looks beautiful and I'm sure you are going to find a world of difference from your previous grill both in performance and in the taste of the food.

Sounds like you are back in business, Bruce.
