Hitman Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Here are a few more photos. Ready to go on the grill. Contrary to the tutorial, it did not lose much moisture during the 24 hours it was in the fridge, and I did not have to add much more rub. 11 PM Friday night. 11 AM next morning. I left it on too long, fire got too hot, meat was overcooked. Everyone still loved it. I'll do better next time. Ready to wrap in foil, then wrapped in towels, then into the cooler.

I tried a dozen times to add another photo, keep getting a message "no input file specified"/ Try Imageshack. They have a toolbar you can install that has a shell extension. You can just right-click on your images through windows exporer,and upload them (even several at once). They will automatically resize to whatever dimensions you choose, and when they are done uploading, a web page opens with the images previewed, and all the URLs listed in one spot, so you can copy them. The toolbar link is right on the forum posting page if you want to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I tried it earlier, tried it again after your post. Doesn't seem to do anything for me --- I must be missing something. Wait! I see it now. Let's try uploading a pic of my drip pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mguerra Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 never clean I never clean my heat deflector. Here it is after six months of continuous use. A grilling wok filled with lava rocks, sitting on the charcoal basket. All the goo just slowly works its' way through the lava rocks and burns up, I guess.

Hitman Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Your heat deflector is a completely different shape than mine. Mine is round, with an external stainless steel basket, and a ceramic stone-like inner center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Your heat deflector is a completely different shape than mine. Mine is round, with an external stainless steel basket, and a ceramic stone-like inner center. Yours is a KK stone. The doc has one of those too (right?) but he got in a hurry one day to get cooking, so he filled a square wok with lava rock, and started the science experiment you see above I never clean mine, either, doc, but its just a black disk. I flip it over each time, so the dirty side guts burned clean. Do you never cook inderect at higher temps? Or are those globs just crispy hollow shapes now?

JeffB Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Your heat deflector is a completely different shape than mine. Hitman, mguerra made his own heat deflector from some items he bought from Home Depot. He is not using the standard KK heat deflector so it will look different -- and disgusting to my eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 OK, got it. To each his own........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguerra Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Nasty Oh yeah, it's disgusting! But it works. It looked really cool virgin. The lava rocks are so cheap, I can just pitch the nasties and reload, if I get too repulsed. I have the stock KK heat deflector, and the stainless drip tray. Neither has ever seen the inside of the cooker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conodo12 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 eh, it's not so bad - actually you can have some fun with it - one drunk afternoon, bet one of your buddies to take a bite! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguerra Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 pack of coonies ("buddies") When I build a fire, I set that contraption aside, of course. You should see the coonhound mayhem that ensues! They're sprawled all over the porch, chewing on lava rocks, if I don't set it out of reach. Hilarious.

mguerra Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 lava rock deflector Here's how it came to be. Before I got the KK, I was trying to figure a way to do a low and slow in my metal grill. I needed some kind of heat deflector between the fire and the meat. I did not know about fire bricks at the time. One idea was to cut the bottom out of a cast iron skillet, to have a cast iron disc. Seemed like a neat idea, but too much elbow grease. Wandering through the Home Depot BBQ dept, I happened to spy the lava rocks. There's a good heat deflector! But how to contain them?Right next to the rocks was the grilling wok, bingo! Idea born. And cheap, too. There is not a lot of vertical space in these metal grills. But, the Meco Swinger has an adjustable height grill. So I lowered the grill down to the minimum, put the lava rock heat deflector on the grill, and then laid another grill on top of that. Lo and behold the lid could shut, and not contact the meat. I had me a little mini smoker! Only problem turned out to be the fuel capacity. You can't get twelve plus hours of charcoal in one of these. But, it makes a dandy four hour rib cooker!! Anyway I was just playing around trying to maximize my cooking options while I waited to get up the nerve to drop the cash on a KK. The photo shows the wok minus the lava rocks, just to illustrate the set up. When the KK showed up, I just kept using it. So for those of you who don't yet have a ceramic cooker, here's a stop gap tool to help your cooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
