  1. Hi All, Not sure whats the cause of the issues thats been posted about here, however there is a minor point release for the forum i will upgrade it to in the next 12 hours or so. Also a new skin version ill upgrade to as well.

    I hope those small updates will fix the issues, if not then we have a stable upgraded place to start debugging from.

  2. Oh why am i only seeing this post now @Aussie Ora! haha. 

    How have you been doing them sense? Have you had another go?

    I quite often do pork belly on the KK. I am doing one tonight in fact.

    Like you mentioned, cutting too deep through the skin will not work well for crackle. Cutting just enough is the trick.

    I am not so organised these days and dont get around to salting it the night before. I do however pour boiling hot water over the rind before i salt it before putting it onto the KK.

    The trick is to cook it enough, but not too much so the meat is ruined. Id much rather have a good cook on the meat than the best crackle you can cook with over cooked meat.

    If I ever get it I'll post all about it, no worries there. 

     

    I am too a super early MEATER Block backer. Its been almost 2+ years or something like that when i backed them.... haha. It looks like they are slowly getting their act together, so fingers crossed we have it by Christmas. I have put off buying any other probes as it seems they are getting closer. I hope the product lives up to the expectation, as i hate probe cords.

    @tekobo, great thread here. Its been a good journey to this point, i cant wait to see what you end up getting and see some pics from the first few cooks. I love seeing things come together like they have for you both.

    I am one of those minority that do use the double bottom drip pan. I use it for my low and slow only. I find its super easy to use as a deflector and just sit the foil trays on top of it. It fills the size of my 32 perfectly and saves me stuffing around with foil if i dont have the time. However if price is a concern, i would throw it into the optional basket over a few other options you have put on the to buy list. However if money is not a problem, i do find it useful.

    Definitely get the spit rod attachment. This is something i use all the time and like others said, its a really nice way to spin a chook. Great flavour when they are dripping over the coals I find. 

  4. To my knowledge @Mark from New Zealand, i dont believe there is a way to lock the stock wheels. Maybe you can make a few small wedges to wedge on both sides of the wheels to stop them moving?

    I have done that with mine just in case it decides to take off.

    I also dont think @DennisLinkletter sells an upgrade on the wheels to have a locking capability in them. Maybe because the KK's are quite heavy that the lock that could be put in them would not be strong enough to hold the weight of the KK should it decide to move.
