[MacKenzie]

A camp fire-

I think I'm ready, stay tuned.

Can't wait to see what you come up with. 

[Pequod]

Hmmmm...what's she hinting at? 

Smores?

Something smokey?

Something with a woody texture?

[MacKenzie]

Maybe I'm just practicing getting the fire going...... Who knows what evil lurks in the heart....

Marshmallows from the garden? 

[ckreef]

Caveman steaks is my vote. 

[MacKenzie]

Not even close.

 I do like the idea of picking marshmallow from the garden though.:)

What surprises are in store for us.

[MacKenzie]

Let's hope I'm not the surprised one.

I had a lot to mull over for this KK cook, there are so many options, do I use the rotisserie, go direct, go indirect, use the main grill, do I go higher and most of all what temperature?

The sole purpose of the campfire was for mulling things over.

I had a 2 bone rib roast to cook and didn't want to mess it up.

Made a little pocket and stuffed some thyme from the garden in, added granulated garlic and freshly ground black pepper.

Tied it up and let it rest in the fridge overnight.

Used my lower grate on top of the mail grate to get the roast high in the grill.

132 F and time to remove from grill.

Next step was to tent in foil and put in the warm kitchen oven until the KK was ready to sear.

Searing.

Seared. I didn't do a great job here, should have left it on the grill longer.

Sliced.

Slice and plated with all garden veggies. 

One more pix for good measure.:)

For "not doing a great job," that looks pretty damned good from here, MacKenzie! 

[MacKenzie]

Thanks, Tony, it was just the searing that I would have like to do better.

[MacKenzie]

Bruce, this one is for you.

That roast looks perfect. But I'm going to be a little honest here - sort of a let down. The way you played it up you should have thrown a KK grate on the campfire and cooked it on that. Just sayin.

Man now I want steak and i just finished dinner lol.
