Hey Tony, try cooking that chili on the KK. I've done it several times and the kiss of smoke you're looking for is no problem. After you believe it's had enough smoke, just put the lid on the pot and let it cook. I could use a bowl of it right now.

I know a good gumbo when I see one. And for some reason it's always better the next day and even better after you freeze it.

its hard to cook for people who don't really eat... If you need volunteers...But I guarantee I won't look anything like the guest you had!

First time I've seen a PK grill. The KK gets hot enough send Satan back to hell to cool off. But I can see where a smaller grill might be quicker to get to temp.

I agree with that. I use it on the rotisserie and it gets the gunk off.

NASA: "You’ve got to help us Tony. We need a man to go to Mars. We asked Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and The Rock. They all said the mission is too dangerous. Please help us out!" Tony: "First of all, don’t ask a candy ass to do a man’s job. I’ll handle it." The next day Tony shows up and they load his equipment onto the rocket. NASA: "Everything looks good except this case you have that says Acapulco Gold on it. You can’t bring that with you." Tony grabs a pre-rolled out of the case, strikes a kitchen match on his abs, and then blows smoke in the director’s face. Looks him in the eye with a Clint Eastwood squint and says, “let’s rock.” A few months later the rocket lands on Mars. As Tony steps out, he sees a Martian girl stirring a huge pot. Tony uses his famous pick-up line on her…. Tony: "Hey good lookin’. Whatcha got cooking?" Martian Girl: "Just watch." After she stirred for about 45 minutes, the most beautiful baby Tony ever saw crawled out of the pot. Tony is amazed and tells her so. Martian Girl: "How do they make babies where you’re from?" Tony felt it was his duty to demonstrate. Tony: "So that, little lady, is how it’s done on Earth." Martian Girl: "So, where’s the baby?" Tony: "It takes a few months." Martian Girl: "Then why did you stop stirring?"

I use undiluted Simple Green. Get them shiny clean.

Thanks for the head's up! I will check it out.

Beautiful pizza!!

Chili crisp oil? I love that stuff. I have to go to a Chinese grocery to get it. See it he would like to share his recipe, please.

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. "When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.' The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years! 'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the dolls, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?' 'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.

I have the same splitter you have. It works like a champ.

Nice looking chicken, MacKenzie. What brand pizza oven is that hiding under its cover?

I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

I find that the first smoke coming out of the KK or any other smoker, isn't the best. It's usually cloudy/white smoke that is slightly bitter. If you wait an hour or so, you'll have more of a nice blue smoke. I baste ribs once during the first 2 hours and then 30 minutes before I take them off, I'll put a thin coat of sauce on them if that's the plan. If no sauce, then I'll baste them again with an hour to go instead of 30 minutes. I stopped wrapping but that's a personal choice (like everything else). If your method works for you, then it's a perfect recipe! Oh yeah, I cook them, Boston butts and briskets at 240 and I use a Fireboard too.
