tony b Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Great cooks all around, folks! Rocking the KKs! Simple wing dinner last night. 3 different dry rubs (no sauce). Direct, main grate, started out at 275F and finished at 350F. Peach wood chunks. Plated with air fried duck fat sprayed fries, side salad, carrot & celery stix with blue cheese dressing and some Peruvian green crack sauce for the fries! Sorry no pic of the can, but a Cigar City Jai Alai (one of my favs!) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) I'm following your idea, Tony, wings for dinner tonight. Hope they come out as tasty looking as yours. Edited June 4, 2021 by MacKenzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Here we go, by the end of the cook every bug in the country was in my ODK. I nearly got carried away. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hints of coffee in the rub. sweet corn on the cob with “elote” rub from my friend @Tyrusthat my wife and I both really enjoyed grilled asparagus brushed with olive oil, butter, garlic, black pepper and topped with truffle salt. easy cook.

Snake Plissken Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Had my parents over for the first time in almost a year, celebrated with some beef short ribs from butcher (first time cooking) and threw in a Chuck roast for smoking to use in some nachos as an experiment. Super happy with how it came out! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Great looking beef ribs Snake, I only discovered how good these are with a KK.I spun a couple of birds for Sunday dinnerI had a hotter temp this time, about 220c, direct for first half of the cook, then indirect once the juice started dripping.Dry curry rub on one, home made BBQ rub on the other.Par boiled sweet potato and spuds around the edge of the grilling grate.Pretty tasty Sunday dinner with creamed mushroom onion sauce.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troble Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Great job @Snake Plissken I’m sure your parents were thrilled, looks like you had a little fan coming after those nachos too! Great idea @Basher it’s been so long since I’ve seen a cooking post from you, did you remember how to use your KK? Pics looks like you did well, but perhaps it was your boy cooking? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics looks like you did well, but perhaps it was your boy cooking? Still lighting the KK up at least twice a week Troble. Mostly boring cooks. I’m trying to keep my posts spectacular. Kids sports are taking up much of my weekend time running between soccer, rugby, water polo, netball, cricket and soon to be rowing and athletics. Club and school crossover some of this doubles up.I have a lamb shoulder and leg saved in the freezer for a low n slow and another spin.Patiently excited about setting up the dry age fridge and the Parilla grill arrives next week.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Nice cooks everyone! @Troble - you're killin' me with that grilled octopus! Brought back a good flashback to Greece. I put that grilled octopus dinner there in my top 5 all time best meals! Epic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troble Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Good to hear @Basher you know I’m joking, I always get a lot of inspiration from your cooks and I’ve been missing yours today we had my daughters friends family over who’s from Japan so I tried to show off a bit of our local seafood made the Peruvian ceviche again, nailed it today use aji amarillo for the spice kick along with some local halibut and local rockfish Bluefin Tuna sashimi in soy sauce with a drip of siracha Japanese yellowtail hiramasa served with a soy/lemon juice ponzu sauce, jalapeño and cilantro garnish grilled CA King Salmon served with quinoa w/carrots, celery & sweet onions (no plated pics as I was hosting) ran the bluefin tuna and yellowtail dish back for dinner with the wife Edited June 7, 2021 by Troble 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troble Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) @tony b I have very fond memories of eating fresh caught octopus in Greek islands over a fire with lemon juice and that’s what I’ve been striving for. I did it once last summer and this attempt was even better as I used the lower grate abs got a great char on it and I used a ton of lemon thyme from my garden when I boiled it the night before and then marinated it overnight with lots of lemon thyme. When I see you at a San Diego beer convention I’ll grill octopus for you at my pad. Bet on it Edited June 7, 2021 by Troble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed is putting it mildly - 2 years in a row now! Fingers crossed that next year in Pittsburg will actually happen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Got to play with my new toy tonight - Easy Kabob. Just ran across it on YouTube and thought WTF, let's see if it actually works as well as in the videos. Cut to the chase - It Does! The tricks are a bit obvious - keep the meat cold and don't make it too wet/sloppy. Mixed up a 50/50 batch of ground beef (90/10) and ground lamb, with some basic seasonings. Stuffed it into the gadget and ran the skewer through it. Works as advertised. Ignore the blobs at the ends of the skewers, that was just me slapping on the leftover meat onto the ends. The nice even part was made by the Easy Kabob. On the main grate at 325F, direct. No smoking woods. Short cook. Plated with rice pilaf and served on Trader Joe's Naan with homemade tzadiki sauce. Side Greek salad. My favorite hot weather (it's in the upper 80s here - insane for this early!) wine - Vinho Verde. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
