Re: Hi to all Hey welcome aboard txbigguy.. The best thing i ever won was a sewing machine at a raffle when I was nine... It was a sewing machine or a floor scrubber just the thing every nine year old boy wants to win.... You on the other hand won big time my friend. You are so going to love this grill... Tony

Re: G'day Australia /Townsville Queensland Oh that explains it..........

Re: G'day Australia /Townsville Queensland Welcome aboard Rambo.... Buckle up it going to be a great ride.. But now I'm confused... If you do everything upside down how do you keep the food on the grill ???? Tony

Re: Ok, so we have a new look... Well it works fine with fire fox...... Tony

Re: SNAKE RIVER FARMS Whole Bone-In Pork Shoulder Well the bad news is I completely blew the pictures of the finished product however the good news is I now have a second one to try to do better ..... It turned out great everyone loved it. I put out two trays one pork shoulder and one pork collar. People loved both, they do taste different (cooked exactly the same way). and it went about 50 - 50 on which was better. In the end we went through 16# of pork shoulder and 5# of pork collar with nothing left for left overs. I promise I'll take pictures on the next one which should be coming soon .. Tony

Re: Afire Natural Coconut Charcoal Well maybe I'm just not paying attention but I don't seem to remember the white ash with the coconut charcoal from Dennis...

I have tried Afire and I was not happy with the results.. It left a white ash all over the inside of the KK. I can only imagine that it was all over the food.... Tony

Welcome aboard; I know you will love the grill when it arrives. I had to wait for mine to be built, the anticipation almost killed me. I have been cooking on mine ever since. Tony

OK it's 5:00 on a Saturday and the adventure starts...

OK the pork shoulder is here(pictures coming) but it only weighs in at 16.1 Lbs. It came on Wednesday so I called Snake River to ask about the size. The web site claims it should be appx 20 Lbs I thought 16.1 was a little light. Kim at Snake river agreed with me a sent a second shoulder that made it today. I just LOVE good customer service.. I also ordered a pork collar and it came today also. So now I have two shoulders 1 at 16.1 and a second shoulder at 15.6 plus a pork collar at 5.3. I am expecting about 25 - 30 people on Sunday at 3:00 for pulled pork. I think 32 Lbs of shoulder is to much and 15 or 16 is to little. My current plan is to cook the 16.1 Lb shoulder and the 5.3Lb collar. So based on the information in this chain I will shoot for the pork to be done by 1:00. So I figure 1.5 - 2.0 hours per pound that puts the shoulder on by 5:00AM Saturday and the collar goes on by 3:00Am on Sunday.. Any comments or ideas ??? Tony

Marcus, Welcome aboard !!!!! I think you will find the forum full of helpful people ready to share ideas... So whenever your ready just ask away. And congrats on the new purchase... Tony

What a great puppy !!! Imagine all the love locked up in there.. Do enjoy. Tony

I agree with both replies. I'm looking for long burn time and the light smoke that comes from your extruded coconut charcoal. I'll happily deal with the ash between cooks. I'm still looking forward to your next shipment and I'm ready to buy !!! Tony

Larry, I plan on pictures. I'm going to load up the grill with some extruded coconut charcoal and hope it lasts for 35 to 40 hours... I've never tried cooking anything this long the longest was the brisket at about 14 hours.. so this should be interesting (hopefully in a good way) Looking forward to the adventure. Tony

Well I try not to open the cooker that's why I bought my stoker unit. I can put in a temp probe (or two) and not open the lid. I think a target temp of 190 to 195 is where I'm heading. I'll set the pit at 225. I like the suggestion to aim for a early finish and wrap it and put it in a cooler... Thanks for all the info I guess I'll figure about 34 hrs and an early stop time so if I need it I'll have some head room.. Now I'll just sit back and wait for mid October... Tony

Thanks doc, I will take pictures... So if I'm planning on dinner at 5:00 on Saturday then I need to start this up at 4 or 5 on Friday ?? or do you think it will take longer ??

Larry, I'm thinking pulled pork.. Tony

Has anyone out there tried this ??? The online store says: This phenomenal piece of 100% kurobuta pork is perfect for the backyard barbecuer or a serious competitor. This is a full shoulder with the shank bone still attached to provide the rich flavor and extreme tenderness that make it so special 1 (approx 20 lbs each) Bone-In Pork Shoulder I just ordered one for delivery in the middle of Oct and wondered if anyone tried it and how it turned out.. I assume that 20 lbs of pork shoulder will take the better part of the day to cook. I'm expecting about 18 - 20 hours. Anyone have any experience they would like to share ?? All suggestions are appreciated. Tony

I was wondering the same thing.....

They look great.. And about how long did they cook ??

Doc, Looking very tasty. I love good chicken and this seems as simple as it gets. I'll have to give this a try. Tony

Larry, They look GREAT !!! I am interested in trying a tri-tip on the KK but I had no idea of the temp. So how long did they take at 300 ?? Tony

Well not sure whats going on but I just joined Google so I have an account but I can't find a way to edit the map to add me. The directions say to click edit on the left margin and try as I may I can't seem to find edit anywhere.... Anyone have any ideas ??? Tony

Well here in good old California it against the law to use a hand held device while driving either talking or texting. People need to get a grip and remember that driving is a full time job... I think the law is great I just wish they would enforce it better.

Well we love big dogs too. She's a beauty. This is our baby girl, her name is Claire and she looks so content with my sons friend who looks very happy...
