Got married over the weekend. Rather than going out we had the meet and greet at our home. Did Pulled Pork, Pulled Beef, smoked/grilled some chicken thighs and did two loaves of garlic bread on the KK. Several conversations on the patio standing around her. Love bragging about her, she was almost as big a hit as the bride, almost! Everything turned out great, everyone loved the product it produced. Glad we hosted!

Re: How much ECC for 18 hour cook? Never ceases to amaze me.

Re: Covering your KK Funny getting a notification on this thread. Haven't covered my KK in probably at least a year. Need to consider it this summer though now that I live in Vegas I suppose.

Re: Barbacoa Here's a link to a Barbacoa cook I did on an old cooker - http://s217.beta.photobucket.com/user/l ... y/Barbacoa Was great, need to do it again.

Re: Everyday Misc Cooking Photos w/ details LMAO! Glad you stopped at one, I should have! I had forgotten about that cook, need to update it with another less alcohol fueled cook. Still remember editing that one and thinking, really, you're going to post that . . . Technique works every-time.

Re: Bronze Behemoth Game On! 2 Thanks doc. I was amazed at how good the bark was even after foiling. So do you do a chuck roll or chuck roast?

Re: Any guesses? This odd, on my iPad the orientation is correct, on my PC the picture is inverted.

Re: My new cook area ! Very nice! Install a beer tap and I'd never leave the cooking area! Hope you enjoy it!

Re: Any guesses? Either that or you're upside down lol.

Re: Pulled Beef (chuck roast) Cook - Video Craig - Yes, I had a foil pan under the grate catching the drippings during the un-foiled portion of the cook. I went with oak red wine cask staves. Smelled amazing and did a nice job on the flavor too. If you're ever in Orange I can tell you where to pick-up a large bag of them for cheap. Susan - Sorry about the audio drops, I think it's my editing software. Its an app from the iTunes store, need to find another one. The bark really was incredible, you would have never guessed it was foiled. Glad you guys enjoyed the recording. Pizza is my next video! PS. Cleaned her out tonight and I'd only gone through about 1/4 of the fuel I loaded her with. Amazing stuff, 14 hour cook and I used a only a few lbs of fuel. Got to love these cookers!

Been wanting to try this for quite some time. Nice cook, about 15 hours. Nice break from brisket, pulled pork etc. Hope you enjoy -

Re: She's in Cali With some practice you'll be able to hold her at 210, hell any temp no problem. I use a Stoker so I just set my temp and walk away, cheating a bit I guess.

Re: Bronze Behemoth Game On! 2 Doc, after your praise of Chuck roasts I'm doing one today. Got a 16.25 lb baby on Hestia now. Went ECC and oak red wine cask staves. Going to foil around 165, sound good? Oh, recording the cook too.

Re: She's in Cali

Re: High temp fast brisket In my experience due to the oil in this rub you will not get a great bark, even low and slow. A buddy of mine omitted the oil and used garlic powder vs. fresh garlic with good bark results.

Re: Christmas Pork I too am a Macallan guy myself. Another option for roast pork is Pernil. Pork shoulder marinaded then cooked over indirect high heat. You remove it around 172 if memory serves me correctly and slice it vs. pull. I usually do one around the holidays. ]

Did a quick turkey cook and thought I'd record it since it wasn't Thanksgiving and had a little more time, not as many guests or food to cook. Just a note we were also tasting some champagnes that we'll be serving for Thanksgiving so I'm a little "lubricated" by the end of the video. Enjoy! .

Re: Turkey help I prefer high heat (325), don't see any benefit in low and slow on a turkey, too lean. Tip, ice the breasts down for about 30/40 minutes while resting your bird in the counter, will promote even cooking of white and dark meat.

Re: Bourbon-brined, Maple Smoked Turkey At least you didn't play the "I drank too much card" I've had to use that a time or too

Any suggestions on keeping birds from landing on and using Hestia (my KK) as a toilet? Also, should I be using anything special to clean her. This shit (pun intended) really pisses me off!!!!

Re: Rubs I enjoy making my own, only bought one or two pre-made. What I like about this approach is I can control the salt (watching my high blood pressure and trying to stay off meds to control it) and I can tweak to my tastes. Generally get my recipes from BBQ books or forums like this one.

Re: High Heat Brisket Cook - VIDEO I've read the poor reviews on the ET-73 and I've got to tell you I must be on of the lucky ones. Never had an issue with it in 5 years. Not sure what's going on now but I don't mind replacing it every 5 years.

Re: Stoker with Smartphone Setup Port Forwarding to the IP address of your stoker. Type in your outside IP address adding :XX port given to your Stoker and it won't matter whether your on the cellular network or your home network.
