Hitman Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 GOT IT! Thanks for all the help. I'm headed out to the store right now for my first grill --- chicken thighs. I'm gonna use a recipe I got on NakedWhiz from one of the EggFest cookbooks. The KK is temporarily sitting on my side porch, as my rear patio is crawling with siding installers. Photos to follow.

Finney - Iron Pig BBQ Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm glad you guys got that cleared up. Not having a KK (at this point) you had me confused. When I've cook steaks for large numbers of people, I set up two grills. One for the low temp and one to sear. That way I can have some gently cooking at the same time some are getting seared. It keeps the whole process moving smoothly. Also I can keep track of rare, m-rare, med a whole lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Chris, check with Dennis. There's a really nice, brand new Mixed Matte Green 23" OTB sitting in my driveway, just needs a little TLC and a new home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeats Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Doc, you're missing out on the grilling. I think You'll be really surprised at the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguerra Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 OK Well, I'll try it but it seems grilling is just fast cooking over direct heat, so I don't see how the KK would be any better at that. But I'm having a fantastic time with the low and slows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffB Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I follow Firemonkey's lead (from the Youtube videos) and grill with the top down. That theoretically gives you the smokiness and moisture that primeats mentions. TheNakedWhiz also indicates that ceramics can attain higher temperatures for searing so that should help as well. Those two combined would seem to make the KK (or any ceramic really) perfect for the Finney method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I Finneyd in the countertop oven and frypan today. Ok ok, not on my cooker, but it was good anyway. Just stinkin hot outside, with thunderstorms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna have to try the Reverse Sear with my panini grill. It has adjustable temps. I actually have done it just in a frying pan on the stove top. Very low temps and turning the meat often... then take it out and cranked the heat up on the pan. Throw the meat back in to sear. It works......
