Re: A little help I haven't had any contact with Johnny since he quit selling. My quip to Matt was only in reference to my supply here at the house. I'm pretty sure Mr. Kincaid monitors these pages since he is a member. Maybe we should form an "Occupy Murfreesboro" and sit on his kiln till he agrees to sell us some!

Re: A little help I know where you can score some great hickory charcoal!

Fired up the KK yesterday at 1100. Beef back ribs went on at 1200. Removed at 1830 hours. Cook time was 6 1/2 hours at 220. Pork belly went in at 1830 and removed the next morning at 0730 hours. I used 7 rods of extruded coconut and a small portion of hickory charcoal. The KK held temperature perfectly: it was 220 when I went to bed, and 220 when I looked at it this morning. I'm guessing I could have cooked another 20 hours.

Re: Pork Hocks and Crackling Query. You can get the skin of the pig to "crackling stage" by cooking your ham or picnic ham at 325 for about two hours. So, I suggest low and slow, then take it up to 325 to finish.

Re: Rocket I think the shipping error is beautiful!

Re: Summer Cheer Here's a PIC inducer. Roasted some Serrano chiles 5 minutes after harvesting. It drove me out of the house! n67063

While Matt was test firing his KK, I sent a pic of these ribs which were about to come off my KK. Perhaps a bit mean!!

Re: Another Test of ECC and the new upload. We be arse backwards! Hey Tony, the shoulder looks great! Were there any leftovers? BTW, went out to Forno Bravo yesterday!

I fired the KK yesterday using 6 rods of charcoal broken into 3 pieces each and added a couple chunks of hickory charcoal for flavor. Heat sinked at 210 for an hour and put pork back ribs on the grill. Drove into Monterey, returned home, and pulled the ribs after 6 hours and 15 minutes. Prior to eating, I downshifted the KK, and raised the temp to 400 degrees. After dinner, we rolled out an apple gallette, and stuck it in the KK. An hour later, we pulled the gallette. The KK could have run all night!

Re: Forum Upgrade-Upload multiple images at once! Susan, I usually use a remote thermometer, but since I was only grilling one steak, I opted to just check it periodically. I'm guessing about 20-30 minutes indirect heat. The steak was about 2" thick.

Re: Summer Cheer I trust there is no surgery scheduled for today?

Re: Forum Upgrade-Upload multiple images at once! Susan, Indeed it was a reverse sear. 275 degrees until the internal temp reached 120. Then seared it over high heat for about 90 seconds per side. The steak probably sat for 15 minutes while the KK rose to searing temp. And I have to add, it tasted as good as it looks! Peter

Re: Forum Upgrade-Upload multiple images at once! Dennis, it seems to work quite well. I'm still getting use to my Imac and Apple products. By exporting the photos to my desktop at the lowest resolution, I was able to easily upload multiple photos. Once I get use to the inline option on the forum, I'll have it dialed in.

Re: Forum Upgrade-Upload multiple images at once! Haven't had an opportunity to post anything yet, Dennis. The multi-imaging upload will be cool, but like Doc, my irritation stems from the resizing of the pics. I'm not a tech geek, and it's time consuming to downsize the pixels.

Re: Summer Cheer PIC Relapse!

Re: Tips on cooking a beef tenderloin I'll give it a try. Already have the Lodge on hand. Thanks.

Re: Summer Cheer Doc, there is help out there. Have you considered a 12 step program for PIC?

Re: Summer Cheer They are the best tasting peppers I've eaten.

Amazing, still getting Spanish Padron and Italian bell peppers in December! n68327 n68326

Re: Tips on cooking a beef tenderloin I use the method on thick steaks and roast almost exclusively now, but a tenderloin has much less room for error. Like you I tend to play it safe.

Re: Tips on cooking a beef tenderloin Dave, Have you done a reverse sear with those tenderloins and if so, how does it compare to roasting straight through at 450 degrees?

Re: The "Thermapen" of kitchen digital scales? I've been using the Soehnle "Futura" for general purpose kitchen use and an AWS-100 to measure small amounts of yeast. The problem is that the Soehnle can't measure accurately below 2 grams and anything over 2 kilos.
