Kevin H Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 It's been a while since I've posted but, saw Mac's eggs and thought I'd share a couple of recent cooks. My KK has been out of service for about 6 months while we rebuilt it's spot. Thankfully, we got done with everything just in time for the lockdown. So, lots of time to catch up recently. Been in a rut using the smoke pot with coffee splits lately. So everything starts out that way. First cook was some pork steaks that I smoked to rare, then took them to temp with a reverse sear and finished them off with a coating of bbq sauce that carmelized with the heat of the sear. We've become addicted to smoked corn. Taken to cutting them, so they stand up and get a full coat of smoke. After reaching temp, I have my top grate turned upside down over the coals to for searing. 20200327_232839000_iOS.MOV Easter cook was smoked wings with a spicy dry rub. The diablo eggs have candied jalapeño and red pepper flakes. The tri-tip came along for the ride... It's been vac packed up for later. I've really enjoyed catching up with all the great postings, plus seeing a lot new names has been great. Our world is small, community is important, stay well and keep sharing. 10
MacKenzie Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 Kevin, those are all awesome cooks and I can smell the video cook, how'd you do that. 3
Bruce Pearson Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 Yeah what Mac said! That video was really good I could smell and taste your cook right thru the video!!!!! Yum yum yum 2 1

tony b Posted April 21, 2020 Report Posted April 21, 2020 Simple dinner of BBQ'ed chicken. Played with 4 different sauces, just to make things fun: Dinosaur Honey Mustard Creole, Dinosaur Wango-Tango Habanero, Cackalacky CheerWine and my house sauce. All thighs were dusted with Slap Yo' Daddy. I only sauced the undersides, trying to keep the skin side crispy. Direct, on main grate, cherry wood chunks, 350F. Plated with roasted spuds and hushpuppies, with a side salad. Final jury is out on the sauces, as I only ate 2 pieces of chicken with dinner - the Creole and the Cheerwine. Leftovers await! 9
MacKenzie Posted April 22, 2020 Report Posted April 22, 2020 Great looking dinner, lots of nice colour on everything, Tony and you have a bonus meal waiting for you in the fridge. 2 1

tony b Posted April 22, 2020 Report Posted April 22, 2020 Happy Earth Day!! 🌎 50 years - WOW! I guess that I was distracted on 4-20 day and forgot to post pics of the dinner. Pork Satay skewers with peanut sauce over coconut rice, with a nice side salad and a tasty Rose. Main grate, direct, 350F with peach wood chunks. 8
Steve M Posted April 22, 2020 Report Posted April 22, 2020 Looks good Tony. I haven't done those in a while and now I want to of course. 1 1
tony b Posted April 23, 2020 Report Posted April 23, 2020 Got the craving out of the blue. Had to improvise a bit, as I didn't have any cans of coconut milk in the pantry. Faked it with a combo of half-n-half and coconut oil - worked surprisingly well. 3
Tyrus Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Grabbed the point offered at the local (choice) and cooked it up with s&P and a little additional things 3hrs in. Used the round SS pan that was drilled out and it performed very well for a comfortable 8 hours. Found it gave a equal balance distribution for the heat deflection. Wrapped at the stall in paper since it was a lean piece, but at the end it was all meat. 14
MacKenzie Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 A little grilled cabbage and some hot Italian sausages on the menu. 8
Bruce Pearson Posted April 24, 2020 Report Posted April 24, 2020 Looks good yummy Mac never had grilled cabbage before is it as good as it looks? 1
MacKenzie Posted April 25, 2020 Report Posted April 25, 2020 Bruce, this is only the second time I've grilled cabbage and yes, it is very good. I also like it boiled and then add lots of butter and pepper. I first saw CK do it. Takes quite a bit of time to do though, I think this was about 2 hours. 3 1
MacKenzie Posted April 25, 2020 Report Posted April 25, 2020 I am so stuffed and wait until you see with what. Never thought I'd be doing this, Spicy Peanut Butter Pasta. 7
