  1. Re: Christmas Turkey

    This year I cut the legs/thighs off and put them on the KK later (for my 17lber, 1 hour was too quick, I'd go 2 hours next time). I will be doing this from now on. Everything comes out right, with limited fussing about.

  2. Re: low and slow beef brisket

    I would really appreciate any advice on cooking the above. Do I need to put the stone in the cooker? I see these people on the Food Network cooking beef Briskets at 150 degrees for 8 hours and I can't figure out how to do that. There has to be a way. Any advice is appreciated.

    150 for 8 hours? That must be cured.... :idea:

  3. A pic of the KK outside at our annual Hoptoberfest. Did some corn and a 10 hour full brisket that was incredible. Here's the recipes I followed. The sauce was quite nice, maybe a touch high on the vinegar, but was great on brisket sandwiches. Didn't last long, not even long enough to get pictures, lol.

    Didn't pay much attention to the smoking details, I can handle that. Also cut way back on the salt in the rub and removed it from the sauce altogether.

  4. Re: Smoked Pork Belly Peppered Bacon

    I have, and I'm sure others have as well. The main goal is keeping the temp low (I shoot for 200f for 4 hours, then ramp up to 250 to get to 145 internal) while smoking. Build a small fire. There are lots of options for wet and dry brining. You can even go lower with the temp - 150f and 200 to finish if you can build the fire that small - not easy.

  5. Re: First run with the Auberins controller

    I can tell you for a fact that on a standard low/slow cook temp (230-240) over the course of 14 hours, 4 of which the meat was at 160f, tough is not how I would describe this meat. It is surprisingly tender, even when cut 1/2" thick. It may have something to do with the sheer mass of the meat (12lbs). The only downside I have is the meat is slightly dry. And a very slightly slight at that, lol.

  6. Re: First run with the Auberins controller

    It really hit a plateau @ 162, like from 7:30 until 11:30. I wrapped in tinfoil and brought the KK up to 350 for an hour, with no change in temp so I shut it down, and let it rest overnight in the fridge. It is pretty dense feeling, like I could use my apple corer to make three finger holes and have a meat bowling ball. Cut into it, and it's surprisingly tender, even being as well done as it is. Slightly dry, but not too bad. I won't be eating all of it, but it will make good sandwiches for a few days.
