  1. Well, I wanted to do this before my vacation and I couldn't get it done in time so I was a little late to the dance.  Anyways here is my January Challenge.  

     

    I started with portobello mushrooms and rinsed them and loaded them up with Lanes sweet heat and brisket rub to give it a beef like rub flavour.  Let me just tell you that Lanes BBQ rub is the real deal!!  I can't get enough of this stuff!!

    After rubbing them down, I diced up some fresh jalapeño and slathered them with bold BBQ sauce

    I had to cook some chicken and pork so I had the grill up to 375.  After cooking and cleaning the grill to make this a legit vegetable cook, I added some peach smoking wood and smoked some non pork vegetarian beans for 1.5 hours.  I then smoked the shrooms for approximately 20 minutes.  Once they were cooked, I added some low fat swiss cheese which also took in some nice smoke flavour.

    brought them in and plated them with the beans

  2. Truth be told I really love my F/C teltru. It is simple and elegant. I have always envied the thermometer when I saw it in photos. I would also agree not to add it to the grill. I prefer the basic tel true on there.

    If you have to add it and arc to match the bend would look ok. I tend to agree with the thought of less is more

  3. This is what I enjoy most about this hobby, meeting people that become friends due to a common interest.  

     

    I wish I could have squeezed more time in with everyone but my night shift was calling my name.  

     

    I am happy to report that Jon and Sue got to see the bosco set up live and in person.... I think we have a new 32" owner in the making!!!

     

    And thank you Jon and Sue for the wonderful burger press from Williams Sonoma!!!  I love it

  4. I would classify myself as a griller 95% of the time.  I started with a beautiful Napoleon Gas BBQ, working my way to a WSM and a Weber Kettle.  As soon as I began cooking on the kettle, I stopped using the gasser.  It sat for 2 years before my wife finally told me to sell the gasser.  

     

    I personally think that BBQ is a hobby, something that has taught me to unwind and enjoy, and the food always tastes better on a charcoal cook.  

     

    A gasser is really not needed in my house, however, I can see the desire for the deal fuel idea.  

     

    I personally would invest on a larger KK before spending on the dual fuel... but again everyone is different.  If I really needed a gasser, I would probably buy a gas BBQ again.  But I really can't see that happening 

  5. Welcome to the forum. I think traditionally BBQ has been a guys thing.... However with Kamado cooking I find more women involved now. I think it is because they are easier to use with a more set it and forget it mentality.

    I love that the girls are cooking now more so on them. I personally am not a huge traditional BBQ type ie ribs, brisket butts...... I prefer grilling and taking the traditional meal and bringing it on the Kamado. The woman are bringing this more to life now and it is creating some awesome day cooks on the grill.

    As for you're grill.....

    Take you're time opening it. There is a ton of stuff and if you rush it the clean up will be a nightmare lol

    As for removing it from the base... I would have a second pair of hands to help you push it off the pedestal that it sits on.

    Other than that it is easy sailing and you will be very impressed with its beauty out of the box.
