@Poochie - must just be the one by you, as our CostCo still has Prime cuts. Picked up a couple of Prime ribeye cap steaks there last week.

👍 👍

A few folks in the Bay Area that might take you up on it - @Bruce Pearson and @Paul immediately come to mind.

@Wobster - if you haven't put in your order yet for your KK (per your other thread), just add boxes of cocochar to your order - as many as will fit on the pallet. You'll never be able to buy it as cheap as that, as it doesn't add very much cost to the shipping.

yes

One of the BEST South Park's ever!

Dishwasher safe.

As I posted, it's called a Frog Mat. It's actually for grilling. https://www.amazon.com/Frogmats-Non-Stick-Grill-Mat/dp/B00LBH7TZK

@Troble - Great minds! Dinner last night to celebrate the 70F day! was steak and asparagus. Direct, lower grate, used the Frog Mat for the asparagus. Plated with melting potatoes with shallot crack sauce, 'shrooms, and side salad.

Hence, why I rarely make them.

You didn't say how much wood you put in your smoker pot? I typically use 4 - 6 chunks in mine and never have an issue with the amount of smoke produced. As @Poochie suggested, try some different woods. I typically use a blend of a fruit wood (apple, cherry, peach) with a hardwood (hickory, post oak, mesquite) - 2 parts fruit to 1 part hardwood.

That's what I do. I keep a cord nearby, as it is essential for many things - Guru, Rotisserie, and Cold Smoker.

Detroit is all about the edge crust! Nicely done.

So much has changed since the last time we could get it; but back then, 1/2 pallet was about the minimum to make the shipping costs reasonable.

Not yet. Pinging @DennisLinkletter - any coffee wood chunks and/or charcoal in this shipment?

Once it's cut up and, on your plate, no one cares what shape it was!

Some cool YouTube vids on using it. Seems like any solid fat works - butter, tallow, lard. Be careful, as it does indeed, flame up like mad - hence the name.

That's a major upgrade.

@DennisLinkletter - forgot to ask, is it all coco-char, or is there any coffee wood chunks and/or charcoal in this shipment?

On my list to visit next trip to Austin. I've heard great things about them.

I 2nd @Syzygies post about pallet sharing. I've gone in on a couple. Reduces the shipping costs dramatically. For the newbies - it's really cost-prohibitive to think in terms of buying just a couple of boxes with home delivery via UPS or similar. Larger quantities (full or half pallets) shipped freight to a commercial address or picked up at the freight terminal are really the only way to go.

While no pics of any "homegrown" (with a shoutout to Neil Young!), I did take advantage of the nice weather (mid-50s and sunny) to do a pork tenderloin. Direct, main grate, 350F, with a mash-up rub of Sucklebusters Texas Pecan and SPG. That little flapper was from me trimming the silver skin off. It was a tasty nibble! Plated with some nice pasta carbonara and side salad. I love carbonara but hadn't made it in some time - no clue why?

Vegas, You Go Baby!! Woo, hoo! 🤑

HURRAY!

I used the "standard" concentration for cleaning brewing equipment of 1 TB per 1 gal of hot water. Works equally well on the rotisserie parts and grates. (Almost pulled up an old Monty Python vid for that "And now, for something completely different" reference!)🤣
