  1. Looking good.

    I light it up and leave for 1.5-2 hours before I put pizzas in. I put the baking stone in once the kk gets to temp (30-40mins). Then Put the baking stone and heat soak. I close the top vent down a little bit once I put the stone in. The KK stone looks thicker than the one you have there so perhaps you don’t need as much time.

  2. Yesterday we had more heat warnings out, 39C but that doesn't mean you can't have the hot dinner your were craving when you have a KK.

    Plated with beets greens. I need to stop picking those tops if I want the bottoms to grow into nice beets for Aussie's burgers.

  3. Looks great Alimac. Chicken is always great in the KK. Direct, indirect, roti - always turns out great. 

    Kudo to you for cooking tonight. Its absolutely howling out there tonight. Rain also coming in sideways....

    That said, I cook in this weather on the weekends. The other week I was completely soaked. I made sure the food was kept dry though. Food still came out awesome! Wind, rain, hail.. cooking on the KK is a treat. I guess I got to get that return on investment - wind, hail or shine.

  4. Hey Tangles it’s a mix of redheads and honeybrix, I’m planning on switching to honeybrix for my low n slow and chicken cooks and then use regular lump for pizza and anything high heat

    Cool. I got a couple boxes of honeybrix. It’s okay. Good for low and slow. Lasts a long time.
    My pizza cooks though take forever. Too hard to get going. Need 3 hours to get hot enough.
    Going to go back to lump for pizza and high temp cooks.
    That said I thought honeybrix got hotter than lump charcoal.

  5. Stunning kk. Nice setting too. Congrats again.

     

    I am glad the delivery guys put the crate where you wanted the kk.

     

    Can’t wait to see the cook pictures. Would love to hear how it compares to the other cookers you have used.

     

    Apologies if this is a double post. I posted earlier but it looks like it didnt get posted.

  7. Hi Scott,

    I was completely new to Kamado cooking. I purchased the 23 Ultimate which has been great. For large parties, I do a low and slow and then grill at the end. I also do a lot of grilling too. It's been fine for me, wifey and 3 kids but if you want to do a lot of grilling then the 32 is a better suited. Also the 32 has a better 2 zone setup - its a true 2 zone setup. It's been a great journey and I have been really happy with everything I have cooked up in the KK even though I was novice with it all. 

    Either way, you will be impressed with the quality and the cooks. I was tempted to buy the big joe when I was looking but couldnt go past the KK in the end. Though, I could do with more weight lifting exercises (when lifting the lid of the KJ), I am glad I went with the KK quality.

    And finally, you get to join a group of really nice people (in this forum) who really go out of the way to help you out. 

    We loved our KK so much that we transformed our outdoor entertainment area so it could be a show case piece...

    Have a chat to Dennis and good luck!

     

  8. Kai Yang Chicken with Tamarind Dipping Sauce. This is a Milk Street recipe. There’s lemongrass in there, so I know it’s authentic. <_> Making the sauce. Starts with sautéing some lemongrass, a chili, and shallot.

    Then magic happened! (I.e., I forgot to take any other pics of the sauce making process).
    The chook brined in a soy sauce, fish sauce, cilantro, lemongrass, etc. mixture for two hours. Then I spun it with a pineapple. The pineapple is sporting Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head, which I’m told is all the rage in Thailand. <_>9BF842D1-1CE4-4F5E-96C2-7940695DA2E6.thumb.jpeg.0fe1a0576a323f93612cf4b0070f6532.jpeg
    Ready to serve.

    Have done this one before. It’s becoming a favorite way to do a chook.

    Looks great as usual

  9. I upgraded from a Weber. The KK is major major step up. Like everyone has said, talk to Dennis. I ended up with a 23 pebble one. Really happy with it. I can feed a large group with this.

    Pequod is right though. If you want to two zones and have more space the 32 is the way to go.

    Buyers remorse... I wish I could get two hahaha.
