I will never tire of @MacKenzie 's burgers. The cheese envelope for the win!

What a great (grate? ) set-up, @tekobo - perfect illustration of the versatility of the KK. And a beautiful looking pork shoulder as well!

Wait , wait, whaaat?? You get a new truck AND a new grill?! Mr and Mrs skreef!

Ditto

Thanks, @tekobo!

Are Octoforks a thing of the past? An opportunity missed? I went searching for them a couple weeks back and it seems the site is down and the product unavailable anywhere else. Perhaps I'm not doing quite enough sleuthing?

Roti ribs? Looks awesome, @DJM!

If you ever doubted that Syz knows a thing or two about smoking pots...

If only I had known. I may have to remedy the error in judgment with a new pebble 42 (leaving little in the way of assets to be split in the divorce proceedings that will inevitable take place )

Agree - check with Dennis. I just got mine (matte black tile, which cooks a bit better than the pebble) three or so months ago. I seem to recall that matte black pebble was available at the time.

Congratulations, @alimac23!! Great looking cook. Happy to hear everyone is well.

@SSgt93 nailed it, @Alohapiggy. I've been in love with and faithful to my 32, but seein' that 42 - well, that just gives me the tingles!

Pay them no heed, @tekobo - if your scalp doesn't sweat, it not hot enough!

You're most welcome, @tony b - you're in for a treat!

First truly hot weekend of the summer and one of the few weekends where we didn't have too much going on. So, nothing but pool and KKQ! Saturday, I fired up some great baby backs along with elotes (Mexican grilled corn) on the side. Props to @SSgt93 for turning me on to Albukirky rubs - the sweet hot was the ticket! But today was the real winner - a couple of gorgeous tomahawk ribeyes from my local butcher (Costco!). The 2 zone capability of the 32 is awesome - steaks came out perfect. A little quick and dirty strawberry shortcake put a bowtie on a great weekend.

Another great vid, @Flemming - looks awesome!

Yeah, buddy!!!

Well worth it, Aussie - looks delightful. Now, time for some Hawaiian tacos!

Amazing, @Pequod!

Looking good, indeed, Aussie!

Yeah now! I remember the anticipation well - best thing since Christmas as a child! You're gonna be blown away!

I'm hip to the game now

Had some leftover pork butt from a cook I did for Memorial Day weekend get together. In our house, that usually means one thing - TACOS!!

I suspect my pit probe placement may have been partially to blame for what ended up being a very long (too long, I think) cook. I put two butts on - one maybe 5-6 lbs, the other a big butt - 8-9lbs - at 9:30 on Friday night, with my pit probe attached to the bottom grate. I didn't hit target temp (203) on the small butt until 4:40 Saturday afternoon and by then, it had become a little dry (still good, just not as succulent as I would have liked). I pulled the larger one off an hour and 10 minutes later at a temp of 191 (was time to head to the party I was taking them to!). The large butt was perfect - in hindsight (no pun intended), I should have pulled the smaller one off earlier. I suspect the slow cook time was a result of cooking at a temp that was lower than what I thought - the probe being too close to the fire and in contact with the lower grate. I did pop the pit probe up to the top grate using the cork and pick method towards the end, after reading Tony's words of wisdom, but by then, it was a bit too late. Lesson learned.
