GrillingMontana Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Just wanted to introduce myself, I am Paul and live in the Big Sky State of Montana USA! I got word that my Komado Kamado should be here in about a week or so and wanted to join the forum and check out what everyone has been cooking! Already excited about my first cook, I am trying to think of a dish to break the Kamado in properly. Although I have never used a Komodo Kamado, I am no stranger to ceramic cookers. I look forward to learning and chatting on the forum! P- 1
DennisLinkletter Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Welcome to the forum Paul.. Looking forward to seeing your cooks on a KK! PS Paul is an accomplished Kamado chef with hundreds of ceramic cooks under his belt.. http://grillingmontana.com
tony b Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Welcome to the KK family. I'll try and refrain from oblique references to that Frank Zappa tune (one of my favs! I refer to the dogs as my "pigmy pooches.") Sounds like we'll be learning more from you than vice versa! Don't forget to post pics of the virgin cook. It's a "rule" here (No Pic, It Didn't Happen!) My vote for 1st cook is to roast a whole chicken. Ceramics do an outstanding job on whole/spatchcocked birds.

The lady is a big fan of crispy chicken skin and we both have a love for chicken on the bone so that may end up being a good choice! As far as photos go, I plan on "raising up a crop" from here in Montana. Don't think that Zappa reference got missed either- I like to do them a little more well than some so the dark meat is quite firm with the collagen and connective tissue gone. Often with a handful of cherry chips for funzies- Cheers- P
5698k Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Welcome Paul, I look forward to seeing what a pro can do on a kk. It's already impressive the things some "novices" do! Please post pics! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

CeramicChef Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Paul - welcome aboard and welcome to The KK Addiction! You are in for one very big surprise when you get your KK! To compare a KK to a mass market kamado is like comparing a rowboat to a super carrier. We love seeing pics of cooks. Be sure to add yours! You are gonna love your KK!
Tucker Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Welcome Paul. Do you by chance have a pair of zircon encrusted tweezers? You are going to have a lot of fun and enjoyment out of your KK!!

You are going to have a lot of fun and enjoyment out of your KK!! Thanks @tucker Perhaps I should make some of St. Alphonso's pancakes for my first cook? If this turns into a Zappa thread, you guys have me beat by a long shot! What's cooking for the games this weekend?
tony b Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 If you don't post pictures, we might have to "raid your dormatorium."
DennisLinkletter Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Great looking thighs.. I'm to the point I only want to eat the thighs.. My family says it's not fair I eat them all and I tell them life is not fair.. Here's to a KK full of only crispy thighs!
wilburpan Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Welcome! And as has been mentioned, we love pics!
