DavidS Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 1st cook a slab of ribs rubbed with Wild Willys rub from Smoke & Spice book. 1st overnight 3 small butts same rub. They have about 1 hour to go.
tcoliver Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 MMMMMMM.... Looks awesome!!!! What were your results as far as temp stability using your new KK??? Nice use of your old K (I guess they will at least make a pretty table)
HappyOwner Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 Old K I'd like to see more detail on your side table use of the old K. I've got an old K I'd like to use for something. Kevin
DavidS Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Posted August 6, 2006 The temp was much easier to control that the old k. It adjusts much faster to small changes in draft door or damper top. After I unloaded and set it up I loaded with about 4 lbs lump with the grill empty and played with the controls. The ribs at 225 did not use the Guru just the low and slow opens on door, top a little less than 1/4 turn, less than 1/8 on low & slow. The butts I used the Guru at 225 at grill. Put them on at 9:30 pm off at 9:15 AM temp at 195. They are now in the ice chest resting. Will pull and post picture later. Happy owner, I plan on putting a better top on later. Works fair at storing lump in. Makes nice area to set things on while cooking as long as my dog is in the house. The old top is used as bird bath holder near the koi pond.
HappyOwner Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 Old K table Did you remove the old stainless band and the hinges/springs? If so, how do you roll it around if needed without a grip? Ideally I'd like a top that opened and closed, but didn't reuse the Mexi-K hinges for a more sleek look like the KK. Did you close in the draft door in any way? Then again, maybe I'll just trash it since it is crumbling. Maybe Dennis will share some of his cook center plans? Dennis, please? Kevin
DavidS Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Posted August 6, 2006 Its pulled Very good: about 9 lbs meat.
DavidS Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Posted August 6, 2006 Old K table I had to use the hardware from old K on the replacement top & bottom. I sold the replacement to a BGE owner. I have the old cart from old K. I have not figured out how to hinge the top as yet. I may just make a different top that can be removed.
tcoliver Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 Stop Doing That Now you 're making me hungry!!!! Looks Delicious!!!
Curly Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 We could start a business re-building those old K's into usable objects. There are starting to be more and more of them around
DavidS Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Posted August 6, 2006 Yes but who wants cracked and crumbling with tiles falling off unit? Maybe I should rethink that since I did and a lot of others. But after a burn in and 2 cooks I am a VERY HAPPY CAMPER with my Deluxe OTB.
Curly Posted August 7, 2006 Report Posted August 7, 2006 Well, I didn't mean reusable cooking objects. That's kinda outta the question. I meant tables, lump holder bins, flower pots, etc.
