5698K, Temp has already dropped 30 degrees since pushing in the bottom draft door. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was able to push my lower draft door in about 1/4th inch I’m sure that was part of the problem, thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Using the KK Hot/Cold Smoker for the first time and my temp has gradually carried all the way up to 330 Fahrenheit. My top vent is barely cracked off the seal and the bottom vent is completely closed. I have the aquarium pump on the lowest setting. Anyone else experience temps running away with the KK external smoker? I’m assuming the smoker is adding additional air flow/oxygen and stoking the fire. Maybe I lit a bit too much charcoal with my torch? Otherwise I can’t think why the temp is out of control. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tri-Tip is on, first time using the KK external smoker! [emoji869] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Choice Strip Steaks. Smoked then reverse seared. And you can’t forget the Surly Axe Man and Utah Jazz basketball!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The hooks (circled in red) must be removed to hang the side tables. At least that is what Dennis told me on the phone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3 lb. choice Tomahawk for dinner tonight. Almond wood smoked then reverse seared. I had to cook it medium-well for my guests but it was still really good, just not how I prefer it. Also 475ML smoke pot for the win! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not exaggerating it was the best Brisket rub I’ve ever used, I will be buying more. Yeah that doesn’t surprise me. A very hot vigorous wood fire is what really causes smoke rings, something I don’t think the KK is great at. But in the same token that is why it is a great cooker, efficiency! Adding nitrates like celery seed, putting the meat on the cooker super cold, keeping the lid closed during the first part of the cook, and spritzing through one of the probe holes, I assume will help me get a smoke ring on the next cook. I’m probably going to double up with the smoke pot + the KK external smoker on my next brisket cook, I like subtle smoke, but brisket can take a lot of smoke imho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

G2K, thanks Dennis. I will have to keep playing around with it. Of course the smoke ring is pretty much just aesthetic. And my brisket was amazing regardless. My wife even said she loved it and she isn’t a brisket fan, so KK for the win!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can anyone explain to me the purpose of these? They shipped inside the wood side table boxes for my 21” Supreme. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got some with my recent KK 21” Supreme order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Coffee and beef are good pals, coffee just adds a subtle earthiness that rounds everything out. Yes, used my 475ml smoke pot stuffed full with hickory chips. The brisket had a very very subtle smokiness, I would have preferred more. I may have to use the KK hot/cold smoker in addition to a smoke pot for brisket. Also I got no smoke ring even though the meat went in cold and the lid stayed closed for the first 14 hours of the cook. Might need to add celery seed for a smoke ring in a KK, it just cooks so efficiently I don’t think I’m getting the charcoal fire burning vigorously enough to cause the chemical nitrate reaction.

First brisket in the books, it came out excellent! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pulled it after 20 hours when it was probing like butter 205-208 in the flat. Planning on a 5 hour rest. DBD pan got me a whole bowl full of tallow, the most underrated KK accessory imho.

Smack that all on the floor, smack that... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was 16 lbs I believe before trimming. It was a long brisket. I laid it over a rib rack. First time using it, excited to try it. I bought a set of rubs, there are two others from him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s about to go down.

Cochinita Pibil Tacos, one of the best things I’ve ever cooked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice use of the DBDP! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First cook went well. Kalua Pig. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought this on Amazon Deals. For $25 I’m really impressed with the quality, you can just pair this with the included KK drip pans. Makes more sense imho if you don’t want to spend a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just fired her up for the very first time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is smoked pork, wrapped in Banana Leaves and seasoned with a special Hawaiian salt. The KK kind of mimics it being buried in the ground. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
