Like others have said, spend some time (preferably with an adult beverage) and just keep adjusting the dials and watching what the dome temperature does for a fixed top damper setting. The top damper is more critical than the lower ones for setting temperature, as the airflow through the KK is by vacuum drag, which is dictated by the top damper opening.

Me, three - never heard of a bone-in brisket - WOW. My best guess is to cook it like a regular brisket, except it's going to take longer because of the bone. Similar to a leg of lamb (bone-in vs boneless). Can't wait to hear how this one comes out! Keep us posted.

Nice, but where's the Don Julio??

Thanks, MacKenzie, but it's up to Mother Nature. Not so worried about the tomatoes, but need to harvest all the chile peppers to make another batch of hot sauce.

Yeah, you didn't have enough!

Nice beef ribs! Making me hungry!

Real piggy rocks! As Dan said, "other white meat" - bleech! Best part of living here in Iowa is the great heritage pork that's readily available (OK, sweet corn in summer's not too shabby either!)

Nice pies, MacKenzie. While we're starting to feel like Fall here, not flirting with frost yet. Good, because I've still got tomatoes coming in and my chile peppers are just starting to ripen.

Lovely rainbow -

Nice looking chops, Aussie!! Go for it, MacKenzie! Love me some lamb - just about anyway you cook it, but especially racks and chops on the grill!

That's our MacKenzie!

Seriously - Burnt Ends are meat candy in my book, so I can endorse the meat crack label as well! I just use a disposable aluminum roasting pan, put the meat on in a single layer (if possible), uncovered, and let'er rip for about another 30 minutes (until the sauce becomes tacky to the touch). You can leave the heat deflector/drip pan in for indirect cooking, so you won't scorch them on the bottom. Don't forget to post pics of the cook!

Nope.

Nothing more that I can add to Robert's great advice (as usual!)

Excellent birthday dinner! Best Wishes to the Mrs.

MacKenzie, how do you keep your hubby from looking like this, with all that great food you make?

Killer looking burger! And homemade buns, too - dah-ham!!

Nicely done!

Nicely done, everything looks super tasty!

Another awesome cook, Bosco! I scored some bison ribs and have been wondering what I could do with them, hmmmm?

WOW!

Thanks for doing this and posting the results, Charles. Hope the Meater comes through so we have a good way to monitor temperature during rotisserie cooks.

Nicely done. What great friends, too.
