Let us know how it comes out.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Hang on for the ride of your life. Also, as we said in another thread - go out now and buy a new belt, 2 sizes bigger, because you're gonna gain that much weight when you start cooking on the KK; you're gonna want to cook everything in sight, just for the fun of it (and, oh yeah, because it's damned tasty, too!!!)

Some go by the color of their tiles. Since your's is metallic bronze, you could riff off of that - Metalhead, The Great Bronzini, Blazing Glory, Bronzo the Magnificent, etc. I have never named any of my grills, unless POSK counts!

My book says that temp is for Med Rare, but who eats rare brisket - huh? My same book calls the 160F is used, "Traditional."

At least you still possess them and they're not in a jar on SWMBOI's side of the bed - YET!!! I remember an old post (might have to dig it up) that warns the newbies to go out a buy a new belt, 2 sizes bigger than the one you presently wear, for the inevitable weight gain that comes with owning a KK!!! I think all of our BMI's are in the same range (can barely see our .... feet!) LOL!!!

Remember, mine was a corned beef brisket, so how it compares to a plain one, IDNK? However, that said, my corned beef was SV'd @ 160F for 2 1/2 days.

ROFLMAO - I'm actually crying from laughter! You are one sick bastard, Ken - luv ya!!!! Silly me, I was initially thinking he was making a comment about SWMBOI's weight and I was like, DA-HAMN, that took some cajones! Hope she doesn't read this Forum!!!

What Robert (aka 5698k) said. If you got an OTB 23", you can load up the pallet with 15 boxes of Coco Charcoal. DO IT! You won't regret it.

I have a baby Grill Dome that also has the infamous ceramic plate with holes in the bottom for the charcoal grate. One of the first things that I did was take that stupid thing out and replace it with an open mesh charcoal grill, trimmed to fit. Immense improvement. Stupid design, as it plugs so easily and kills the airflow!

First off, great virgin cook on Beauty! She did a great job! You could be like me and "hep out" those rubs. If I get one that I don't particularly like, I'll F with it in some way. In your case, add some fresh ground dark roast coffee (or espresso powder) to the coffee rub. Add some demerara sugar to the honey one. Or if you like a stronger molasses flavor, go muscovado. Why bother, you might ask, because I'm a cheap bastard, that's why and hate to see anything go to waste. My parents grew up in the Great Depression and I learned not to waste anything!

You can leave off the netting. If you're worried about its irregular shape, you could tie it back up with butcher's twine. Lamb is best when served rare. So I like to do a quick sear on all sides at 450F on the lower grate (not the sear grate), then put it up on the main grate to roast at 325F until you hit an IT of around 125F. Pull it off and let it rest for 10 - 15 minutes before cutting into it. A good thing to do is put a pan of quartered potatoes (baby red or Yukon golds), lightly tossed in oil with a bit of S&P, on the lower grate underneath the lamb, so the drippings flavor the potatoes! YUMMY!

Sad.

Have had my Anova for just over a year now. Love it! Got a sirloin in the bath as I type this. I've done a lot of steaks (tried both searing before and after SV - no noticeable difference to me - YMMV), stuffed chicken breasts & pork chops (the vacuum bag holds the stuffing in well and it doesn't spooge out like baking in the oven!), corned beef brisket (awesome, even though it took 3 days!), salmon, pot roast, short ribs, boneless leg of lamb (seared first on the KK, then into the SV bath). Dennis raves about shrimp done SV, but I haven't tried it yet, along with perfectly poached eggs (both are on my "to do" list).

I had a tree in my backyard when I lived in San Jose (CA). Along with lemons. Nice to have fresh squeezed juice, isn't it. Miss that. But not the traffic!!

Not yet. Don't have any oranges lying about.

Thinking about Sous Vide & KK searing a steak for dinner.

Gotcha, sort of a low tech version of this gadget - Searzall http://komodokamado.com/forum/topic/4730-searzall Went looking to see if it ever got to market after the Kickstarter campaign. It did. You can get them on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Searzall-Torch-Attachment-Small-Stainless/dp/B00L2P0KNO/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t

My first reaction was - OMG, that poor piece of meat! But then I saw the last photo of the slices and went - Whew! Looks awesome. Nice thing about Sous Vide is that you don't have to sweat overcooking, so even if you get busy/distracted, no harm - no foul! I wouldn't have even blinked about going 10 minutes over. Par for the course in my kitchen! Seriously contemplating a SV steak cook today. Finally nice weather for grilling!

Believe it or not, you weren't the target of my inquiry. BTW - I thought your post was hilarious!

OK, I'm easily confused, so when you said, "Char it on all sides on a very hot BBQ grill. (I use a weed burner)" did you mean you just put the tenderloin on the grill grate and charred it with the weed burner, or you just started the charcoal with it, like many of us do?

Hear ya. Just did some blackened porkchops in my cast iron skillet on top of the sear grate at very high temp. So now would probably be a good time to wipe down the dome.

I'm a big fan of Indian food and have done Tandoori chicken in the KK many a time, along with lamb kabobs. I've always wondered if you could do Naan in the KK, but the walls in mine are a bit sooty/greasy. I suppose I could wipe that off beforehand with a wet sponge. Would it be better to plaster the dough on the dome or lower on the walls in the base?? Use the sear grate as a "safety net" to keep them from falling in the fire? Anybody got any experience doing this??

I'm confused, Dennis, do you want us to post them here or in the other thread - Favorite KK Recipes/Cooks??

Sorry to hear that, buddy. I, on the other hand, celebrated our first day above 60F in 4 months by opening a bottle of bubbly and drank it out on my deck Tuesday, while roasting a chicken on the KK. A beautiful day all around. Hope yours turns around starting today! And yes, Murphy was an optimist!
