hmmmmmm meat candy!  

Charles, I agree...the ability of the KK to hold temps is unreal!  I woke up from my sleep and couldnt believe it held so well for so long, but I do understand why people like controllers.

Honestly this was my first attempt at brisket, let alone burnt ends.  I kept it real simple, just smoked it for about 8 hours and wrapped in butcher paper for the last 2 1/2.  KK's are great with moisture so as long as you have the patience to cook until probe tender, you really can't go wrong.  Although, I am curious to see how Raichlans brisket comes out, so please post when you cook!

That looks great Tony!

Congratulations!

I did my first brisket point last weekend!  Overnighter and the KK held solid at 250F with no gadgets!  I wasnt sure how it would turn out, but I was very happy with its performance and of course the burnt ends

LMAO 

This was a really informative and fun thread.  Great cook, looks like a good time was had by all

Interesting use of pineapple. Could have then planted the top, although up in Canada it would be more of a house plant most of the year.

LOL Its true Charles...our weather isn't exactly pineapple growing friendly....or peaches for that matter (hint hint) ;p

A big thumbs up on the Q-Nami.  Great stuff. LOVE IT!!  If you haven't tried Dizzy Pig's Pineapple Head, get some. Wonderful on grilled pineapple (and peaches, and apples, and ...)

While it's a cute execution, I think I'd rather just toss some fresh pineapple chunks inside the chicken and put it in the rotisserie basket! 

Thanks Tony.  Yes, I have the DP Pineapple head and love it on grilled fruit as well!  I also agree with you, this was about presentation, certainly lots of ways to execute the flavour profile, but this was fun.

Looks like you nailed it!  Congrats on a great cook!  btw, is it just me or does that shoulder look tiny on the grill! LOL

Love it that everyone just pops over!  You must be one heck of a neighbour Ken!!

Thank  you @Shuley & @Aussie Ora The pineapple kept the chicken moist and gave a sweetness and subtle pineapple flavour.  I did add some grilled pineapple to the rice, but next time I would add more, or like the book suggested, serve the chicken with a pineapple salsa.  

LOL I am secretly hoping for some   

Looks like you have the process down from years of practise!

LOL we try

Thank you MacKenzie, thats a wonderful compliment from you!  

It was really good, just the combo of flavours and textures.  The family ate well tonight!

Thanks Ken!  And yes, we did celebrate Canada's 149th birthday   Lots of great family fun.

And a happy belated Independence Day to you!  I hope it was spent with good friends and selected family

Hiya friends!

I haven't posted for a while but that doesn't mean I haven't been cooking!

Today I was trying a recipe from Diva Q's new book and it was seriously good!  Pineapple stand chicken served with fried rice.  The chicken was moist and tasty with a hint of sweetness, really good combo of flavours.

The book..

Step 1...turn the pineapple into a stand...

Step 2..Season chicken and place on stand.  I figured since I was using pineapple, something with an asian theme would be great.  The family with happy with this decision

Step 3..Cook chicken around 300F until done.  Mine looked a little drunk and leaning, but it held up!

Step 4...serve and enjoy!

PS - the rest of the pineapple was grilled and served with ice-cream.....if you know my kids (and me), you'll understand how there are no pics of that!!! 

Thanks for looking

Rak
