Re: The "Thermapen" of kitchen digital scales? We use the " My Weigh KD 8000 Digital Weighing Scale" You can find it on Amazon. It's the thermapen of kitchen scales... It even has a percentage calculator so you add the flour hit % and then weigh ingredients based on percent to flour. We love it !!!! Tony

Re: Rotisserie Motor Brackets Waldo, No problem, you will find that you are never alone when it comes to your KK. The forum is full of caring people that will be glad to give you a hand and give out advice, techniques, and tips. It is also important to understand that when you buy a KK you get Dennis as a member of your family. He is there every step of the way. He has taken the time to call me on multiple occasions to simply talk about a technique and pass on a tip. If you have a problem he is the first person that will call you. You really have joined a family.... Tony

Re: Rotisserie Motor Brackets Waldo, Dennis will supply the bracket when he sends the grill.... He has a bracket that mounts to the side of the grill to hold the motor. He will also supply the hardware to hook it up.. So all will be well.... Tony

Re: Thanksgiving 2011 Doc, Nice looking bird !!!! How much of a coffee taste do you get with the coffee wood charcoal ??? Tony

Re: Thanksgiving 2011 I did straight coconut charcoal for this one.. I wanted to get a feel for the coconut charcoal smoke before I start adding extras. Needless to say I was very impressed with the coconut charcoal.. Tony

Re: Thanksgiving 2011 Well we did a 14+ pound bird that was the best turkey ever.... I put it in brine for a day then air dried so the skin came out perfect(I don't like the skin but some of my guests do). I put it on at 350 and drove up to San Francisco to pick up my son from school. By the time I returned(appx 3 hours later) the bird was done to a perfection... I used the new coconut charcoal and boy what a nice smoke flavor... I even have a picture !!!

Re: Happy Thanksgiving Dennis, And a happy thanksgiving to you and yours... Not sure what I would be cooking on if not for you and Komodo Kamodo but I am sure I would not be as happy..... Tony

Re: Thanksgiving 2011 Larry, How long do you think it will take you at 325. I have my bird in brine now and plan on taking it out to air dry in the refrigerator over night...... I want to try cooking it on the KK with some of the new coconut charcoal from Dennis but I've never cooked a turkey on the KK so I have no idea how long it takes. My bird is only 15 pounds.. Tony

Re: Brisket using the new coconut charcoal from Dennis I agree that the shipping adds to the price but I should point out that I am yet to find a full bone in pork shoulder or Berkshire pork anywhere else. Also its interesting to note that one of my 14 pound shoulders weighed in at just over 20 pounds and the second one came in at over 21 pounds. both at $60 each.. Tony

I know, I know, I know, No pictures it never happened.... But I tried the hybrid approach which means I had to get up at 3:00AM since company was coming at noon. I was lucky to find the KK at 3:00AM much less remember to look for my camera. I used Chris Lilly's recipe but I put the wet and dry rub on the night before so it had time to work into the meat. I loaded 6 pieces of Dennis new charcoal into the KK lit about 4 Kingsford briquets to get things started. heat soaked the KK to 225 and let the brisket go until it reached 165. Wrapped it in foil and cranked the KK to 350. Everything finished off at about 11:00. I thought the brisket was OK not great(and since I have no pictures it never happened). My guests all thought it was wonderful. I'm not sure what possessed me to load 6 pieces of the new charcoal because there is still a lot left for my next cook. The charcoal gives off a sweet smelling smoke and will burn forever!!!! This is the best charcoal around bar none !!! So all I can say to everyone out there thinking about buying some is Don't expect me to leave you any... Tony P.S. I'll do better with the pictures next time. Really I will.... I happen to have two 20 pound pork shoulders from snake river farms to practice my low and slow with camera in hand..

Re: Alice our new puppy is in the house! Well pictures can be deceiving but I'll be darned if that does not look like a litter of Saint Bernard puppies.. We have been living with Saints for the last 25 years they are great dogs but definitely not a Beagle.. Our current baby girl (named Clare) bounces in at 150 pounds not exactly Beagle size...

Re: New KK coming to Ottawa, Kansas! It's never too early to start stocking up on the basics... Welcome to the forum I know you will love the KK... Tony

Re: Some truly valuable information..... 124

Re: High temp fast brisket Thanks Doc that helps.... I'll do one for labor day.. Tony

Re: High temp fast brisket OK Doc, let say we are talking an 8 pound brisket, If I try the "High temp fast brisket" what do you suggest as ball park times ?? I know that you recommend poking the brisket with a sharp object to determine done-ness but about how long should I expect the process to take so I can do some minimal planning.... Tony

Re: To Rotis or Not To Rotis I'm interested, hope we can order one....

Re: Three Extruder Machines are in the House! This just looks better and better !!!!!!! Tony

Re: Three Extruder Machines are in the House! Teddysurf, I beleive that slu was running point on this for northern California. I'm on the list somewhere if slu gets overwhelmed with requests then I'll run backup... Tony

Re: To Rotis or Not To Rotis I have both. If you are only going to get one basket I would choose the large one. Tony

Re: Three Extruder Machines are in the House! Dennis, Do you have a signup sheet or a way for us to get on a list ??? Tony

Re: Three Extruder Machines are in the House! Dennis, I love the fact that you will not compromise when it comes to quality and the good name of Komodo Kamado.... I am looking forward to the day that I can put my name on the list and buy some charcoal. If there is anyone else in northern California that is interested in sharing a pallet let me know.... Tony

Re: Three Extruder Machines are in the House! I'm looking to add my name to the list.... Just let me know when, where, and how.. Tony

Re: 4th of July 2011 Doing a Peruvian chicken that we cook on the roti. Then doing a pork collar for the 4th.. Nothing better that pulled pork sandwiches and coleslaw.. Tony P.S. Building a wood fired pizza oven in the back yard. I know we can do pizza on the KK but the wife wanted the pizza oven so why not...

Re: First Rotisserie Cook: Very nice That looks like an interesting idea...

Re: First Rotisserie Cook: Very nice Firemonkey, I like your plan, I remember I used the charcoal holders in my Weber and put a small drip pan in the middle to catch the grease. Your plan would allow the same thing with coals around the outside. Now if we can only make one.. Tony
