    Nice job, MacKenzie.

    I'm in the "baking powder camp" now, myself. Rub the chicken thoroughly with salt and baking powder, rest overnight in the fridge, uncovered. Nice crispy skin when roasted. One thing though, back off the salt in your dry rub or you could end up with it being too salty at the end.

    Haven't seen the episode with the wood chips yet. In the couple I've watched from Season 1 (started at the beginning), he's used nice chunks of wood on lump charcoal. I was impressed with that. And Wilbur is right, sometimes you have to take poetic license to tell a good story (or make an entertaining video in this case.) Like others have said, I'll be watching more for the recipes than technique.

    Poor Ken!

    Beautiful grill and thanks for the pics! Can't wait to see you cooking on your new toy.

    Roger that!

    I love his books, but to be frank, I was disappointed that he propagates some BBQ myths in the show. Example, "the smoke ring is a sign that you nailed it." We all know that the smoke ring has nothing to do with tasty BBQ, it's just a chemical reaction that happens under the proper conditions; it's doesn't affect flavor one bit!

    Have had similar experience with cornstarch dusted chicken - came out pale. So, I'd have to agree with the others. Another thought would be to spray some canola oil on the chicken just before you put it in the KK. Aren't cooking experiments fun (and frustrating at the same time!)?

    Perfect!!

    Woo, Hoo! We have a winner!

    At grilling temps, EVOO is too delicate and will burn, which is probably your source of off flavors. Stick to canola or other high temp oils.

    What a way to convert your KK to a "gasser!"

    Keep the smoke, it makes the picture dynamic, especially with that big backdrop that says "PROJECT SMOKE." Sends the perfect message. You can still see the beautiful blue tiles around the bottom.

    Not only is Bosco an outstanding cook, he gets to do it in an awesome space to boot! I am sooooo jealous!

    Started out as a chimney/newspaper guy, then the folks here convinced me to switch to the propane/MAPP torch. Like it much better for most cooks. Still use the chimney occasionally when I use the split basket. A chimney full of lit coals is a good jump start to a high temp sear for steaks, chops, etc.

    Great, as it wasn't there right after Ken posted the link.

    Me, too. I've been using both coconut oil spray from Trader Joes and canola oil spray from CostCo.

    Both good to know. A friend and I were sitting on the deck Saturday evening and I saw my first hummingbird of the season. It flew within a few feet of us and then darted into the trees. It had a green body with a red breast. Stunning. Need to dig out my feeder from wherever it's stashed in the garage - or get a new one.

    We generically refer to those as POSKs. I owned one before my KK. The damper top assembly crumbled on it.

    At least we can watch on line at our convenience, thanks to Ken posting the link!!

    Dude, that's just sick! I know that you will enjoy this for many years to come.

    Of course. Dennis even called me - TWICE - during his rehab from surgery to make sure that I got everything correctly. He's just amazing!!

    Nice, especially the squash.

    When I ordered mine, I had to email the order in, as the Store didn't list the 6" reducer option for the 23" KK. Not a problem.

    Thanks for the link, Ken.
