We have some friends down from Florida. For those of you who know my story of how I started cooking on BBQ, it all began with a trip to Florida 4 years ago. Our friends from Florida have a big green egg.... and after my first smoked piece of red meat, I was hooked. I owe everything that I love about this hobby to these people!! So they came down to Canada for their first visit. Las night we took them to Niagara Falls and on the Maid of the Mist, and a dinner at the Keg over looking the falls. Today I decided to treat the man that got me into this mess with some home cooked Kamado grub!! I could not afford to disappoint. He loves ribs.... she loves salmon. As any good host would have it.... I made both. Picked up some fresh local corn and soaked it in a water and sugar bath and grilled at 400 degrees direct. This is our season for corn and I try and get locally picked corn every week. my next door neighbour was away and brought me home some delicious BBQ sauces to try ribs were cooked low and slow at 225 for 6 hours. At the 4 hour mark, I spritzed them with a cider vinegar and apple juice. I made three St. Louis Cut sides with three different seasonings. I used John Henry's Summer time Peach, a home rub from a local BBQ joint and a new rub from texas that my good friend Robert sent me These ribs were cooked just right and smoked to hell and back with Texas Peach wood!!! The salmon was cooked at 375 indirect with a garlic and herb marinade. I may have fallen back in love with salmon today.... Sorry no plated shot today as the Canuck beers have caught up to me.... I can not wait to be able to be cooking on a KK and showing it off in all of my pics. I am for now an outsider... dying to join your club!!

I can't wait to land a KK!!!!!!

I really love the pebble CC. I spoke with Dennis on this... I just really love the olive gold pebble

That looks fantastic.

Speaking about pizza in a kk... What is the best or ideal setup for pizza. I know on the KJ I have deflectors and pizza stone stacked together with a small airflow between them. Just trying to get an understanding before hand

I too prefer making my own stuff. I have finally mastered corn tortillas. It looks like I will accept this challenge and will learn how to make naan. I like goining pioneer when cooking. The less store bought the better.... However if I had someone point out good mask like CC that would be good too

Fantastic cook man. You are a pizza man too. For anyone who hasn't seen it, tiny also has a killer wood oven pizza!!

I am so impressed with the baking stone. Talking to Dennis about how they are designed blew my mind. Can't wait to get my hands on one... Or two 😎

I switched to my own grind last year. I posted a cook on the guru and was met with a lot of comment as I cooked my burger MR. Many warned me of bacteria etc. Doing my own grind helps curb the bacteria issue because it's fresh ground. Ground meat sitting at a super market for a week is what has to make you worry, not a nice ground chuck roast. Dennis I too am a rarer is better guy!!! Nice recipe

I have the entire line up of dizzy pig products. I am loving the Mediterranean-ish right now. If your already hooked I better get a restraining order because I have way more tricks up these sleeves to dazzle !!

Fantastic as always ckreef

wow that thing is massive..... I want it!!

Pineapple Head is such a great seasoning. I love it and think it would be delicious with fresh grilled fruit

I am quickly seeing that!!

I am a huge US shopper. Right now the dollar is kind of crummy for us. This kk is going to be 30% more for me with just the exchange. I have a postal box in Lewiston NY that I do all of my online shopping with but haven't bought in a while

Stash the cash !!!! love it! GoFrogs my passion for this hobby is crazy... I always tell my wife that it could be worse. It could be a hobby like golf, or gambling, smoking, drinking etc etc etc.....

That looks wonderful!! Very nice cook

not the good looks????

very helpful review Wilbur... only adding to my wanting of a KK.

yeah that makes sense. I still want the general idea of what I am getting. From what I can tell Olive gold is more solid beige gold colour, autumn nebula is more orangey and harvest is a mix with natural tones of brown. But again that is just pictures not actual looking. I am excited.... and finally decided. Now picking when is the next question

skreef it is funny, but when I first started seeing these on the KG website I was very much the same. They really didn't appeal to me. I really couldn't see the value. But the more that I have cooked and learned about BBQ and kamado cooking, the more I really see "you get what you pay for". I have really spent sometime over the past few weeks, and have caught the KK flu bug. I am hooked and ready to go.... bank says otherwise right now but I now know what model I want and colour choices. I thank everyone who helped me with my quest and as soon as I make my purchase, I will let you all know my configuration that I picked. Until then, I hope to be able to wow you with my cooks and handsomely good looks...

Lol !!

Wow from the pics autumn nebula looked more orange. I think I am down to three colours Olive gold, harvest, autumn nebula. So many decisions and they all look close

I think that will be a no brainer on the winner for that one buddy!! so now with a kk are you still using the blackstone???

that is a beautiful grill. is that the olive gold pebble???
