dstr8 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 aavkk: Cigars, scotch and a KK tells me you like smoke If you want to try something different and wonderful, tequila related, try to locate one (or more ) of Del Maguey's single village mezcals. Truly wonderful with a nice roasted agave pina essence. The Tobala is wonderful. The Chichicapa and Minero are very good relative values and make fantastic real margarita, as well as for sipping, floaters adding a unique smokiness and kick that you, if like me, just can't do without. http://mezcal.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisLinkletter Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Cardamom from the standard store bought spices is about 80% LESS aromatic than the Cardamom I get from World Spice. I get it whole and grind it myself.. stinks up the whole house.. So strong it makes you wonder if it will taste good.. NOTHING (except great meat of course) will easily improve your Q more than FRESH spices.. https://www.worldspice.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks for the tip, Dennis. Always looking for new sources. I am a big fan of Penzey's Spices - www.penzeys.com for most of my spices. I like Pendery's for my chili spices - www.penderys.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolan8v Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I have been lucky enough to locate a chuck roll and am planning to use the coffee cardamom rub. My question is: Is there a minimum and maximum time frame for letting the meat marinate in the rub before I place it in the KK? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

normstar Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 There's a Penzeys store by me, I cannot get out of there without spending at least $50! Very high quality spices and better prices that the store-bought junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
