It gets its name for a reason! And, it's good on lots of other things, too!

Liked the pineapple idea, but would obviously use Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head instead of plain brown sugar.

Spotted the Purple Crack cheese right away! Would manicotti be too big for this recipe?

Nothing wrong with Mexican.! Nice looking enchies!

I'm sold!

Thanks for the update, Keith. I was sitting on the fence about buying, as I wanted forks, basket & kabobs all at once to minimize shipping costs. But, if we're talking mid-to-late summer for the kabobs, I might go on and pull the trigger on the forks and basket now, so I have them right away.

Nice write-up. Says he owns one, so we need to get him on the Forum.

@Keith OctoForks - Yo, Keith, what's the word on when the kabob skewers will be ready for purchase??

Can't wait to find out how this turns out! If it works, it's gonna be awesome!

Congrats on another well-deserved write-up!

RIP indeed. But he had a good run to 89!

Yeah, we know! Sorta like Aussie and the Taz peppercorns!

All that means is that they can split the cost of the keg 4 ways! Well, good news is that he's not gonna be a Dawg! EWWW!

Arrival pictures, please!

Yummy looking beef ribs, Paul!

In my wheelhouse, too, Bruce, along with Valentina. At that point, do they become "huevos?"

No, Bruce, I only got the single probe. Like I said, the Block isn't even into production yet, so who knows when they'll start shipping. They haven't updated the schedule on those in months, as they've been totally focused on the probes. Early Backers in the Kickstarter are not happy about that.

I've had similar, as it's really awesome. I think I see some bacon on the KK in the not too distant future. MacKenzie, I looked into those tiles, mainly as a replacement to one in my yakitori grill that has a corner chipped off, but they are too small. If I thought that I could cut them without them breaking (given how thin they are), I might could make it work. Put them in my Wish List so I could find them again later if I decide to get a box.

@Shuley -

Peppers, onions, and mushrooms are OK with the meat, as they cook in about the same time; but cherry tomatoes need to be separate, as they cook really fast and will fall off the skewers if you're not careful.

I agree, but I think she's more like Alice Waters from Chez Panisse - more "farm to table" - and most of the time, from her own farm/garden!

Yeah, they have quite a bit of backlog to fill from both Kickstarter and IndieGoGo campaigns. If distance is an issue, then the Meater Block might suit you better. However, the Block is still in prototype production, as they shifted focus in getting the single probe into mass production first, because of all the production issues. They are at least 1 year behind the original schedule. Many backers had literally given up on them. I still have positive expectations that I'll get mine. But, proof of the pudding, as they say, will be how well it works and for how long?

As the French say - À chacun son goût .

@MacKenzie - did you notice any additional heat up time on the grill by having these in place? At only 1/4" thick, I wouldn't think that it would be much, if any? Also, did you have many broken ones in your box. Reviews on Amazon say as many as 30% of them arrived broken. Intriguing, but have some reservations on how much I'd use them. I still have the grate that Jon made me from the CharBroil grate. In my 23", I can actually fit this under the rotisserie basket when I decide to use the full charcoal basket. So, it works out well for me. YMMV

I just did a 2 bone one a week ago. First time in the rotisserie. I used the basket splitter, with the coals in the back. Went for 325F dome. I got distracted and let the IT get to 150F before I tested it with the Thermopen. It was still tasty, but a tad overdone for my taste. Nothing that some horseradish au jus couldn't fix! I am eagerly awaiting delivery of my Meater probe, which will solve the "how to monitor temperature on the rotisserie" problem. I was in on the original Kickstarter campaign. After 2 long years, they are finally in serious production. Fingers crossed that mine will arrive shortly. https://meater.com/
