Wagyu Brisket here- my parents were in town so it was time to show off the KK…

Lovely- and I particularly love the Rose Barry; sounds like a herb that would do well in Australia!😉

Found out last night that the father in law was coming round for dinner today. Ducked out at 8pm and bought a 2kg pork shoulder and a small cabbage. Home made rub, 8.5hrs at 250 with Apple wood chunks (bit hotter when wrapped to get it sorted), made some coleslaw. Dinner sorted, everyone happy (like always with the KK).

Yes- sorry, didn't realise your rod had two square ends- because the hex end isn't an additional part as such... Having said that, I can't tell from your first photo whether you have just screwed the cylinder/ nut fitting into the hex end by mistake? Or does yours have two square ends?

Looks like you are all good- round cylinder/ nut in the spring loaded end; allowing you to slot the other end on the motor side

Looks good Troble. Made your roti chicken tonight with green crack sauce, smashed roast potatoes and green papaya salad for some extra funk and spice (actually made with green Granny Smith apples instead). So so good IMG_4377.MOV

Pizza night here- first time in quite awhile. Ham/cheese for the kids; and four varieties for us: - classic margherita with buffalo mozzarella - potato/ mushroom/ truffle oil and thyme - chorizo/ brocollini/ chilli - anchovy/ capers/ chilli Happiness!

Meanwhile here, finally took the plunge on my first overnight cooking session. Black Angus brisket, 5.1kg (11 pound). Convinced the wife that an overnight cook was a better option as otherwise would’ve been a hot and fast session all day to get it done, with much smoke. So I decided that a year in to my KK experience, that I knew (enough) what I was doing. Lit the KK at 9:30pm, giving myself a couple of hours to be close enough to 220. Was worried that I’d end up hotter, so leant on the conservative side. Trimmed and rubbed with Meat Church Holy Cow. On at 11:30pm. I was so stressed that I barely slept- kept dreaming of coming to the KK at 3/4am and finding 400f, and things done… obviously got to sleep eventually. Checked at 6am; 200F, stalled at 140F. Cracked the damper a bit; my little boy (who usually wakes the house up) slept in till 8am bless him… 220F; 145F on the brisket. Let it coast through the stall. Wrapped at 12.5hrs/ 170F. Cranked the KK to 300F to help grill some simple snags and burgers for the kids. Pulled brisket off after 19hrs of cooking. 2hr rest. Served with roast potatoes, horseradish cream and spicy salsa. Beyond delicious… not sure if it was the low/slow (previous have been also amazing but hot/fast), or maybe it was the new butcher…either way. Another win for the KK…

Hey- we have Costco too!

Headed to the butcher today, hoping to pull some pork. No Boston butt available, so bought a 1.2kg pork neck instead. Made up a rub, cooked at 230F for 8hrs, wrapped in foil from 6hrs. 2 hour rest. Homemade pickles and coleslaw, bap rolls. So much smoke flavour, very impressed.

Yep- sure was! That pichana looks amazing.

Birthday dinner here tonight- grass fed eye fillet, with asparagus and cherry tomatoes blackened on the KK. Rum and raisin white chocolate cheese cake to follow. I was a happy birthday boy that’s for sure.

Agree- I make them all the time. But without the molds it is too painful...

Day 6 of COVID called for a Porchetta here tonight- around 1.5kg, so all done in an hour or just over at 400f. Sliced and served in milk buns with some Dijon, pickled fennel, salad and pickles. Good times. IMG_4254.MOV

Happiness is- a simple dinner on the KK. Scotch fillet steak, some charred pumpkin, brioche buns and salad. Lower grate, hot.
