I have been watching Videos on YouTube on cooking Prime Rib by Sous Vide.  I haven't given it any thought about Sous Vide until now as I didn't see myself doing it as I have a KK and a Pellet Grill but after watching the Videos I have been thinking about it a lot.  On of my questions is, when a Prime Rib reaches the Internal Temperature and if it is left in for a longer time, does the meat get more tender ?  At what point would it get mushy from too long being in the Sous Vide ?  Nice thing is there isn't any Carryover cooking, right ?  Of coarse there would be a brief time in the oven to do a Reverse Sear.

I have seen where salt and pepper is put on the Prime Rib and put into the Refrigerator for 24 hours or longer.  Would Season Salt do the same thing ?  Lawry's puts Season Salt.

I look forward to any information.

Thank you.

I tried the Recipe last Wednesday and it worked like a charm and in 6 hours I had Pulled Pork.  It shredded nicely.  So to the Purists, try it first before making any comments.  The Pulled Pork was tasty.

Funny thing, I was trying to figure that out after watching a Video from Mad Scientist BBQ.  From what I saw, the ideal thing is to have the heat the same all over the grill and no Hot Spots.  Another thing is with just using wood cooking with a clean smoke would be possible.

I already have 2 Komodo Kamados but once in awhile the idea of adding a Pellet Grill hits me once in awhile.  Do any of you own a Pellet Grill along with your KK's ?   I have seen others in here also own other Grills besides a KK, like a Santa Maria Grill, etc.  

Thanks.

The cook went well.  Got up at 4:30 in the morning and started up the KK.  Got KK to temperature and put the Lamb on at 5:00am.  It was done by 9:00.  Wrapped it in Butcher Paper, Aluminum Foil, and towels and into a Cooler.  Stayed warm by the time we got to BIL’s house.  I cooked it to 138*.  It was good but next time will cook it to 128-132.  A little to medium for me.

One thing I didn’t like was the amount of Smoke Flavor the Charcoal gave.  I use FOGO.  That is the only Charcoal I use but after today, FOGO is not good for smoking.  I also added two nice size chunks of Pecan and didn’t get any of that flavor.  I will use FOGO for steak and Tri-Tips..

This is the Recipe I am using.

Plan smoking a Boneless Leg of Lamb for my Brother-in-Law's Brunch, so that means transporting it to his house.  If I want to cook the Leg of Lamb to Medium Rare, 140-145, what would be an ideal temperature to pull it considering the carryover time ?  I plan on smoking it at 225-250 then raise the temp to 400 to get the Leg of Lamb a little "crispy" on the outside.  There is a rest time of 15 minutes but the ride to my BIL is longer.   I know it will take at least 3.5-4 hours.  At least that is what the Recipe says and yes I know and always do, cook to temperature.  I don't want the Boneless Leg of Lamb to go beyond Medium Rare.

Happy Passover and Easter.  (We are Jewish)

Trying to clean out the Pantry and I have a few Rubs that are probably beyond their due date.  How long do you keep your Rubs ?  Do you toss them if they are past their Due Date ?

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

This combination sounded perfect. All we had to do was figure out how to infuse smoke and bourbon flavors while keeping the chicken from drying out.

I hadn’t cooked pork ribs in ages, the weather is just starting to cool off here so thought I’d chuck a couple of racks in the 32.

Nice idea of putting the Bottom Grill on the Top Grill.  Are you using something to diffuse the heat or just direct ?  Thanks for the idea.

I know there isn't a Right or Wrong answer to this question.  Yesterday I picked up some Short Ribs at Costco.  There are 4 plates of Short Ribs with 3 bones on each.  Plan on cooking one tomorrow and vacuum pack the other 3.  

When cooking/smoking Short Ribs, do you cook them whole or do you cut them cook them separately.  I grant you, it will make it easier to vacuum pack the Ribs if cut separately.  

All I know, it's going to be a fun cook tomorrow.

Thanks.

I have done Rib Roasts before on the KK.  I am doing one tonight but am going to first start it in the oven at 500* for 15 minutes, then put it in the KK to cook and slightly smoke.  After the initial cook in the oven, what is the ideal temp to cook in the KK ?  

Thank you.

First of all you have a very smart wife.  She knows a good thing when she sees it.  Remember, she married you.  Is there "work" involved ?  Why look at it as work ?!  Putting Charcoal in the Charcoal basket can't be that hard.  Then lighting it with what a lot of use is a MAPP Torch, opening the Bottom and Top Vents.  Yes your hands will get dirty from the Charcoal but washing hands is all it takes.  We enjoy cooking on our KK's.  The color of your Gas Grill is probably the color of Aluminum.  Where as the KK's come if various colored Tiles.  So every time you light up your KK, you also enjoy looking at it as well.  The KK is a very sufficient.  It keeps its set temp.  

You will be making a wise choice. 

I have seen a few videos on YouTube cooking a Rib Roast at 500* for 5 minutes a pound and then turning off the Oven and letting the Roast sit in the oven for 2 hours.

Is there a way to do the same cook in the KK ?  I know the KK will get Heat Soaked and at 500*, the KK will not be coming down for some time and the Rib Roast will get over cooked at 2 hours.  Would a lower temp work and if so, any ideas at what temp ?

Also plan on using a pan as I want to make an Au Jus.

Thanks.

Years ago I had printed an article on cooking chicken up to 148 from Thermopen.  The idea was cooking the chicken up to 148 and then then let it stay at 148* the chicken will be safe to eat.  I tried it with a Chicken Breast.  The temp reached 148 and I let it go in the KK for additional 8 minutes.  The dome cook was at 280.  I took off the breast and let it sit for 5 minutes.  The temperature of the chicken went up to 151.  The Chicken Breast was cooked perfectly to my liking.  It was very moist.   I just wonder if doing the same way when cooking a whole chicken and doing the same way will the Thighs be cooked enough to be safe to eat.  And I am not a big fan of eating chicken breasts.  

Am I missing something?  Is the Smoke Generator used for Cold Smoking or is this a new Accessory ?  

When baking Sourdough in the KK, is there no need for a Dutch Oven since the KK creates its own moisture ?   That's  how I do it in the oven, with a DO.

I have a customer who just got a Plasma Cutter.  When I saw what it can do, I thought of a Flat Grill Top for the KK.  I would do a Half.  I know Stainless Steel would be best but it might be a bit pricey.  So would steel be ok ?  I feel 1/4 might be too thin.  Would 3/8 be ideal ?  My concern with steel is rust.

Thanks.
