Great looking one arm cook mrs. Ckreef!!! You cook better with one hand then most can do with two!

what is a hanger steak?  looks great

beautiful spot for that new KK.  You are going to love it.  I just want to give some advice of maybe shipping or screwing something down behind the KK.  I can't tell for sure but it looks like a bit of a drop off behind it.  I would maybe just drill into the stone a small piece of wood metal to prevent it from rolling back. 

Do you have any more photos of the deliver or setup?  We love photos!

Welcome

Looks good buddy!  I need to smoke some cheese soon 

Welcome aboard.  What got you interested in the Komodo Kamado. 

The problem is they don't fit the large main grate of a 32". That's why I had to go with the plastic one 

I bought plastic concrete mixing tubs from the Home Depot.  They work really well too.  Fits the large 32 grate

Does everyone see rosemary in my list? Robert just pulled it up and it doesn't show for him

Awesome let me know what you think

It looks good to me. The only thing that I can see that he may have done wrong is cut it thin along the angle side.  This reuces the bend near the top which makes it hard to see the third muscle.  But that is tri-tip, I can tell by the way the meat swelled after cooking.  Very distinct looking cut of meat.

Tony, since you love Santa Maria style, can you try my rub once and let me know how it holds up against what you have had?  Here is one I created and have been very happy with over the past few years.  When I get a tri-tip.... this is what goes on it

1 tbsp kosher salt

1 tbsp fine ground black pepper

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp oregano 

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp sage powder

1 tbsp of dried rosemary or fresh chopped

Looking good buddy. @5698k is going to go crazy about this one. Brisket plus Texas BBQ rubis his swan song 

basic as basic can be..... put foil where the meat lies

I run front to back usually with one large piece of foil folded in two, and leave the sides open.  its not science in any way.  Even a drip pan under the meat is more than enough.  You are preventing the direct heat from coming up.  

KK fire pit to grate is large enough that you don't have to worry.  Think about all those crazies on the brethren that swear by an UDS.  Its an oil drum with fire on the bottom and meat usually hanging up top.  More distance the food is from the fire, the better.  The BGE and the KJ primo etc need deflectors because you are cooking right over top of the fire.  

I have adopted the philosophy of keeping it simple.  No more gadgets and gizmos... basic bbq on the best cooker and a instant read thermometer.

wow you don't mess around!  congrats on the setup.... now get cooking

I went with the 05 model and it spins my 32 basket just fine.  

The mounting bracket will come with the KK rotisserie.  

I am not a huge roti guy, and find amazing results with the grill but I will be ordering the straight rods once both available 

Look how clean that is.  What a great delivery.  I have to ask, was he a buddy or just a really curious and excited guy to see such an amazing BBQ? 

Awesome stuff. I can't wait to see this in place! 

Was it everything that you expected?  They are gorgeous 

Start a delivery post.  We love them!

Funny I read that title and new exactly what you were feeling when you wrote that.  Yesterday I was cooking chicken in between night shift and caught myself smiling while I was out back with the grill.  The smells and owning a KK is just such an awesome thing

Congrats can't wait to see pictures 

those look killer.   I love those spit rods.

You know.... I keep downgrading my cooking stuff that I am not using.  I am now wondering more about a pressure cooker each and everyday.  I really don't need it.... I really don't need it.

Looks good 

Awesome news! 

I remember the wait... it felt like torture but that all disappears when you first set eyes on the KK.  Not one picture out there has prepared you for what you are about to receive.  

Good looking cook right there buddy 

its ok.  Very sweet but nice flavor.  I find more is needed for an impact.  But it is a fine rub which I prefer as opposed to a coarse one
