mk1 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 In a word....Fantastic pics from my instagram @mkslf1990 if you are interested in BBQ, fitness, and the sky The cook was 2 prime 30 day dry aged bone in NY strips . My usual 2 inch thick cut. Sous vide for 90 minutes at 129 followed by a 700 degree sear on the new charcoal. It picked up a great flavor.
MacKenzie Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 I believe it when you said "fantastic" I can well believe it, my mouth is watering.
egmiii Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 On a high temp sear like that, how much coffee wood do you end up burning? Not that it matters one bit compared to the cost of even 1/2 of one of those steaks, but I'm curious anyway. How much fuel is left the next morning, once the fire is completely extinguished?
mk1 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Posted October 23, 2015 I just did this last night....let me check on the residual fuel this evening. Thanks everyone! Thanks Dennis. It is a home run!
ckreef Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 Looking good. Definitely interested in the burn results.
tinyfish Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 Man I wish I could get some charcoal...Dennis help.
egmiii Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 If you feel like taking a long drive, I'm about 450 miles away in Connecticut and plan to place an order before the end of the year. Can you take it back across the border?

GoFrogs91 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 Fantastic looking steaks. I too have recently used the coffee wood charcoal. I would characterize the pieces as medium in nature with very few chips and fines. It is pretty much perfect for grilling. The temperature raises in a hurry, imparts a nice smoky flavor, and has a fairly homogeneous size. Fogo has been my standard, but I like the coffee wood more for high temp grilling. Due to the massive chunks, Fogo is great for smoking, but I find the large size chunks impair high temp exposure to the protein. Benton 1
Poochie Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 That's a fine looking meal you created, MK1! I haven't tried the coffee char yet but it's another thing on my list.
egmiii Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Of course I'll feed you! Anyone who drives that far for charcoal deserves a 5 star meal.
DennisLinkletter Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 The boxes are hand packed with only medium to larger pieces.. Larger than usual because I wanted pieces that are less carbonized and still have lots of organic material for flavor.. Sorta like smoking charcoal. No sense in buying it for the flavor and using well carbonized pieces that impart little flavor.. My new high compression charcoal extruder from Thailand is in the factory.. I have plans to make coco char with smoking chips extruded in it.. Hopefully we'll end up selling Coffee, tamarind and apple smoking charcoal. Having the wood incorporated into the charcoal should produce very clean smoke because the gas will immediately burn off and not create bitter vapor.. 1
MacKenzie Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Now to get my hands on that new KK product;)
mk1 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 The charcoal is a home run! Can't wait for the other flavors!!!!!! It is easy to light, burns hot and leaves relatively little ash. I can't wait to try it on a low and slow mixed with coco char.
tony b Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Can't wait, Dennis!! The fitting charcoal for a KK - only the best!!
