My first cook on a KK

Recommended Posts

Posted

Tonight the weather cooperated and I wanted to cook on my KKs.  I have had them for a week now and have yet to cook on them.  Many people asked me what my first cook would be... and I figured go with what I love the most!!

 

I love Mexican food and figured I was due to make some carne asada.  I added a few more things to the meal. 

 

I marinated flank steak with my carne asada mojo, and used John Henry's Cilantro and Lime on the chicken and shrimp.  

 

I am very impressed with the Komodo Kamado!!  Nice to finally pop its cherry

 

Anyways here you go!!

 

I just love the look and feel of the KK

After getting the 23 up to 375, I added some chicken to start.  Then I added some steak, and finally the shrimp.  The smells coming from the top cap was just amazing!!!

Once I pulled the chicken off, I added a bit more heat.  I went up to 400 with no effort at all

After it was all finished, I brought everything into the house

While I was cooking my 12 year old son helped make the corn tortillas.  We pressed 16 of them!!!  

 

all the fixings!!

3 tacos, one shrimp, one chicken and one steak.  Added my home made pico and some queso cheese!!!!!!

A great cook tonight and I am very pleased with the results.  I wish I could share with all of you!!

Ryan, touch 'em all and take a bow! You hit that cook outta the park. Loved the loaded KK grill pic. I see you like Cholula, too. Have you tried Valencia? Kudos on a great first cook. Kudos, kudos, kudos!

Ken, love me some Valencia, as well as the Cholula. Have a bottle of Valencia sitting on my counter as I type this. Used it in a shrimp ceviche for the Christmas Party last Saturday.

Lookin' good.  You dreamed the long dream to get here..

There you go.. Now the long wait is a distant memory.  

 

Dennis, not only have I purchased a new set of cookers.... but more importantly I have gained a new friend!!!

 

Thank you so much for all of you're help during the process!! Komodo Kamado is something that you need to see for yourself only once!!! And once that happens... you see the quality and power of them!!

 

I feel like all the waiting and worrying has just disappeared!!!  

 

I am so impressed with them!!

Nobody outside "The KK Club" understands that Dennis throws himself into every deal FOR FREE!  

 

Other folks brag about great customer service they get.  They don't have Dennis.  If they only knew what Dennis adds to the whole experience, they'd be so jealous.

What an incredible 1st cook on your KK! Your experience with other kamados is clearly evident. Thanks for including pictures. You've set the bar pretty high for those of us who have yet to get a KK.
