  1. A long time ago I was making ABT's and people did not like cheese so I made them with scrambled eggs instead of cheese. I pre cooked the scrambled eggs just enough to work with before adding them to the peppers.

    Marinating

    When you marinate something do you put it right on the grill after or rinse it or wipe it off first? The reason I ask is because I see you are supposed to add sauce at the end of the cook for a short time so it won!t burn and I have seen comments that things with sugar in them will burn if cooked too long. It seems if you marinate something a lot of what you use has sugar in it so if you put it on the grill with it still on will it burn?
  3. What I meant was if you put the grill at say 500 and put on a pizza the dome temp will drop when you open the dome because the thermometer swings away from the heat, when you close it after putting the pizza on the thermometer will not go above 300 even though you know it is. A pizza would not be that critical because it will cook in about 10 minutes give or take a few. Say for example if you put wings on the main grill and potatoes on the upper grill same thing temp would not go up past 300. You know what you started with for a temp but after the food is on there because of the dome reading not going back up you really don!t know unless you just take for granted it will return to exactly where it was but couldn!t two grids of food affect the temp and require a small change which you would not know because of the false reading. Burgers would not matter but what about something you want at 350 for an hour? Are you saying you get the temp to where you want it put on the food and forget about the temperature at that point?
  4. Does cooking on multiple racks affect the dome temp reading? Not just wide things like pizza but anything. I have heard someone say their dome temp gauge will not go above 300 when anything is on the top rack and that they basically have to wing it unless it is butts or something that they put a probe into.

    Tile trouble?

    I seem to recall that Dennis had said for someone in a situation with snow and very cold he would recommend the textured cooker so no matter how good the tiles are put on I think the weather can have an effect on them to some degree eventually. So under those conditions if you buy tile it could require manintnence of some kind at some time during ownership. Or maybe just preventive measures. Just something to be aware of.
  6. Is the refractory material actually considered a ceramic? I was somehow considering it different, more towards a form of cement.
  7. When you look at pricing it would appear that the deluxe and supreme have a stainless steel grill and the standard has a porcelain coated grill. Is that right? If so I am curious as to why? I believe most competitors use porcelain coating on all their grills and just wondered why you do not if you do not?
  8. How do you tell when they are done?
  9. Its funny, people who know how to cook ribs give cook times and they all seem to be in the same rang although some do it a little differently. I have looked into a few cookbooks, went online to companies who sell spareribs(Hormel) and about.com and they all mention 1 - 1/2 hours but that conflicts with the amount of time most people cook them. It!s like these sources agree but don!t seem to know what they are talking about with ribs.
  10. Ribs and corn question Do you rack your ribs or just put on the grill and if so do you flip them when cooking? Also is it possible to get the corn kernels soft without them shriveling up or does that require soaking them first?
  11. Do you make your own pizza dough and sauce?
  12. Firemonkey Dennis has said that it is reinforced with chicken wire.

    Direct or Indirect?

  15. It is easy to forget that a lot of competitors cookers are 18 or 18 1/2 inches while the KK is 22 inches. For those that do offer a bigger size it also increases the price and add to that that most people want a table or cradle to hold it that is an added expense unless you choose to build your own. You don!t need to buy a table or cradle for the KK. When I brought my wife out to show her what these cokers are like I could only show her a competitors model but at least it gives her an idea. It was a large kamado with a spring hinge but the first couple inches it had some heft until the spring took over and for a small person it is awkward to lift the cover all the way up too. I would imagine the manual hinges offered by some would be very difficult for a small person to operate. Another thing is that those types of cookers it is my understanding if you bump the top it could slam shut. The KK has the self opening hinge that holds it open and also clicks and locks it closed. Most of these types of cookers can be very fragile if hit or bumped but when I inquired about the Volcanic Texture Dennis mentioned he took a full swing with a pipe and only put a very small crease in it.
