Re: Church cookout Nice porn! Do you always use Cowboy? I know that it's widely available, cheap, and works in a pinch, but it burns up fast (not really hardwood, but lumber scraps). Have your ever used Wicked Good Charcoal? I often reference Naked Whiz reviews when I run across a new brand. He's usually spot on about the quality of charcoal!

Did my break-in high temp soak yesterday, so I could do my first high temp steak sear today. I can't believe how easy it was to get the KK up to over 800F. It was amazing! Here's the food porn. For the wino's in the group - that's a 1996 Ravenswood Zin to go with - outstanding!

I just upgraded to a KK after 11 years of cooking on a grill from that "other Kamado company" that shall remain nameless. Couldn't be happier. Finally got the KK up on the deck this week (8 steps) and had the "virgin cook" yesterday (ribs) and today, it was a brisket flat. Both came out excellent. Just wrapped up the high temp break-in run so I can do steaks tomorrow night. Here a couple of pix of the new baby, and some food porn, too.

Re: Flat Iron Steak Cook : VIDEO Talk about high temp cooking - we have a new pizza cafe nearby that has an Italian-made, ceramic, wood-fired oven (tiled in beautiful light blue tiles) that runs at 900F!! The pizzas cook in only 90 seconds! They are heavenly.
