Re: Lump Charcoal source in Los Angeles OK, thanks you two.

Re: Lump Charcoal source in Los Angeles I might rent an 18 wheeler and go out there to fill it up with that $13. mesquite!!!

Re: Crispy Skin Be sure to cook chicken direct, not with a heat deflector. Indirect yields rubbery skin.

Re: New Owner Be careful.

Re: New Owner Update please.

Re: KK Stability One or several pieces of nice tile can substitute for the granite I mentioned before.

Re: KK Stability You can use a grill mat but they are ugly as hell. You can get a small piece of granite from any stone fabricator and put it under the bottom vent to catch embers. Much more aesthetically pleasing.

Re: New Owner Pork butt. Don't sweat the temperature control, just get it between 200 to 300. There are tons of posts here on how to do it. Your family and friends will think you are a genius!

Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. That worked. Thanks.

Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Problem persists... Annoying but tolerable.

Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. "The hack did something weird. When I click on "view unread posts" about 15 threads pop up that I have already viewed and there are no new posts in them. Or if I click on some of them, a message pops up that says that thread does not exist." Can anyone help me eliminate this issue? I still have old threads popping up that I have read and there are no new posts in them.

Re: New Member, New KK Coming. How will I move it? The key tool is the tip money, $20.00 absolute minimum for this job. A hand truck seems a little small for this monster. I took off the top and emptied out the body completely, then used the rope and 2 x 4 trick. 2 big high schoolers hauled it out back easily that way. If you do it with that method, PAD THE 2 x 4's.

Re: Would you buy a used BGE XL for $700 ? I think we should use this opportunity to needle Dennis to get the dang Portable in production! I've been waiting two years on the damn thing, continuously threatening to buy a Primo Junior for my secondary.

Re: Cookie's Pork Shoulder 101 A perfect tutorial, Cookie. There is a real debate on 9 and 10 but that's unimportant for this instruction. Follow as Cookie has described and you get perfect results.

Re: Granite work-surface? Get it thicker instead of thinner. Spec it as kitchen counter, not bathroom counter.

Re: Grilling at two temperatures One thing you can do is cook on different levels. You can easily have three at once. It's not a complete solution but works for a lot of scenarios. It is a minor PIA when something at a lower level needs to come off, you need some proper gloves to pull the top grills off for a minute. It does work. You can use your current rig along side a KK and get a lot of flexibility that way.

Re: cast iron skillet/ other Cast iron pizza pans, Dutch ovens, skillets, we use them all. Your KK is a big oven and a stove.

Re: vibrant Blue Pebble - Proud father to be! What Duke do you have? I ride an 888 SPO. Years ago I had a 750 Sport and some kid in the neighborhood set my garage on fire and burned it up, along with a Beemer R75/6. That 750 Sport, one of those mid-70's yellow cafe racers, was the coolest bike ever!

Re: Hello from OHIO Yes, the charcoal chimney is a little messy when you use paper as a starter. Ash flying all over. Depending on where you have your KK, it may or may not be a problem. I use it because it is so fast, 6 to 8 minutes. I have used it with those parrafin/sawdust starters and that works cleaner, albeit a little slower. I will try a few alternatives with the chimney and report back; sterno, potato chips, whatever I can think of that isn't paper. A Looftlighter is good for starting just a little bit of lump for a low and slow. And don't forget Dennis' trick of using a blow dryer to get a huge raging fire lightning quick when you need that. It's pretty impressive.

Re: Help on how to maintain grill temp You don't NEED a Guru or a Stoker. But if you love toys you really WANT one! It is totally unnecessary for grilling. Just open the vents all the way, rage the fire, and grill til done. For a low and slow or baking it is handy, albeit not needed. In fact, if you think about, you really only need five fire temps in your KK. A hot grilling fire, a low and slow from 200 to 300, and a baking fire, 350 to 400 will cover most cooks. Maybe a special cool fire for smoking cheese, and a hot pizza fire. If you can finagle your vents to get a fire anywhere between 200 to 300, your low and slow is set. Same for your 350 to 400 baking fire. Actually the grilling fire and the pizza fire are pretty much the same, basically wide open. So no, a controller is not needed. But it's fun to have...

Re: Pork ButtCook/ Sauce Advice Five huge coonhounds and a tiny little 7 pound beagle puppy running around the house, it's mayhem. She was being tortured with fireworks when our friend snatched her away from the perps. She is 100% none the worse for it, somehow. Completely active, happy, fearless, socializes with all people and animals. We just lost our 14 year old sheltie/shepherd and Penny thought it was divine intervention that Abbey fell in to our lap!

Re: Grill Floss in Canada Does Amazon work up there? They have it.

Re: Pork ButtCook/ Sauce Advice Early rising on account of brand new beagle puppy! 5AM like clockwork for a potty walk.
