this is too weird. i've been living in sai kung or over 5 years. not in-town but near silverstrand. in that case, Tai Sun Canvas Awning in SK town definitely has wood chips. for lump charcoal in town besides Fusion, in See Chueng Street (cafe alley in sai kung), there is a beverage wholesaler that i've seen carry 50kg+ lump charcoal in these white bags. i've never sought to buy it myself but i think it's worth asking. i don't know the exact address, but if you look for a beverage wholeseller, you can't miss it on that little street. for meats in sai kung, there is a new shop on the corner of mcdonalds called Aunew Food +852 6061 9147. They sell a lot of nice sub-primals from australia. and since their opening, they are really cheap for chilled beef. if you go there, ask them to join their whatsapp group. beyond that, like packer briskets, whole bone in rib-eye racks, you will need to buy from restaurant suppliers like angliss. i have a few contacts if you want. however they need to ship to business addresses and you may need to present a BR. if you fancy japanese a4/a5, they are easily bought in frozen meat shops or this online shops.. for salmon, i only buy ora king salmon from a facebook shop called mode de vie. it only comes chilled direct from New Zealand. and general fish and seafood, i go to the boat pier in sai kung, nothing beats local caught and live. i don't remember much about my delivery besides paying some fees to the agent and truck delivery. it may have been easier for me to send it to my office, and then moving it up a flight of stairs at home was a PITA..

did you ship the KK from the US or have it shipped direct from Bali? lump is available in larger supermarkets in HK. park & shop, wellcome, they are of indonesia orgin, mostly. its fine to use. wood chips, order this on amazon. but you will also see them sold in shops that sell weber branded grills. if you see a shop that sells outdoor japanese storage cabins, they will probably carry weber products including chips. sai kung has a on the main road. horizon plaza in ap lei chau has shops that sells grill accessories.. wood chips, chunks, firewood, charcoal are cheap and abundant on taobao if you can navigate it and arrange the shipping. small propane bottles for torches may be available in an LPG gas shop. my problem is not really the consumables, but acquiring meats for western style bbq. we don't have costco and the wet market butchers don't deal with western cuts.

oh wow, a fellow kk owner from hk...

i see, your concern is because our tel tru is extremely long-stemmed. i was thinking of the stem diameter. i dunno, someone needs to spend the $$$ and report back to us..

some info from reddit

This setup replaces the dome thermometer (magnetic and removeable), the blower fan (now rechargeable and wireless), and wireless probes (900F limit). If getting the bundle, an extra thermometer, and port adapter, you're looking at a wireless setup in excess of over $600 USD. https://combustion.inc/pages/giant-grill-gauge

i thought rum and cook sold his 32 because he wasn't getting enough views or something, and now he has a 38?

@Tyrus this is my first time making south african food. someone gifted me boerewors, which is that coiled sausage. pap is a white corn polenta made into a creamed texture, the rice substitute over there. chakalaka is like a mix veg stew sauce.

one of the last cool evenings to do cold smoking.. maldon salt cultured french butter salmon

baby back ribs havent cooked on the kk in a long time but still nailed my temp in two adjustments..

104% tariff on china in a few hours.. is there an 100% american made smoker/grill that exists these days?

i agree with mac. the tumble dryer baskets tear up food. maybe a stacking grate setup...

yeah they are pretty much like huge muffins. but enjoyable to eat in its entirety, and not just the muffin top..

last holiday batch of the year..

baked a sourdough to snack on a 14 hour flight. used very cheap bread flour and whole wheat and rye levains.

this hanger was custom by dennis at my request, but the size limitations of the 19 makes it a difficult setup. i'm sure it will be fine on larger units with deeper cavities. but i would imagine the drum smoker be more than adequate roasting duck or goose which is what i originally wanted to do, but can't. i've tried to roast goose on a rotisserie, but i think hanging is the best way to cook them..

a little roast chicken on the duck hanger. i can't cook big food on this accessory. not enough clearance. .

dartagnan duck confit legs and liver products are very good..

ciabatta using 4 different types of overnight preferments the bulk fermentation was too long..

key lime pie is one of those things i rarely see in restaurants and when i do, i want it..

i 3m scotchguard the kk cover 2-3 times a year

made another batch to bring to relatives. panettone is so much work, but such a pleasure to bake..

finally got to fire the grill. it's been raining for days with typohoon weather

2-day cold fermentation. not a huge difference to baking overnight fermentation..
