19" KK - No Stir Experiment

[ckreef]

Thought I would bring back a little fun from days gone by. 

Using a 19" KK table top model and Royal Oak lump I want to see how many cooks I can do without stirring the old lump before it clogs up and causes temperature problems. 

Started by cleaning out the KK and opening a new 17 lb bag of RO. I filled the firebox by dumping straight from the bag. Each subsequent cook I'll take a peak at the leftover lump and WITHOUT stirring it just top it off by dumping straight from the bag. 

I think I'll be able to go through at least 2 x 17 lb bags of RO before running into issues. We shall find out. 

Here is cook number 1.

 

Here is cook number 2 with lump leftover from the previous cook. 

 

Here is cook number 3 with lump leftover from the previous cook. 

 

Check back often to see where this experiment ends.

ck, if you need any help eating that delicious looking food while you are busying running this experiment just let me know. Everything looks tasty.:)

Thanks for the offer but I think I have the eating part covered with a 17 year old boy in the house. He usually eats as much as me and Mrs skreef combined - LOL

Cook number 4.

Forgot to take an on grill picture. I had Brunswick Stew going in my 16" so I cooked a pan of muffin top corn bread in the 19" for this cook.  I did include a money shot.

I do expect it to last a while but eventually the bottom will fill up.

Magic Mojo is pretty good stuff.

By the taste I reckon it would go really well with seafood as well an all rounder

For now on I'll skip the pouring lump picture unless it really enhances the post. All lump is poured directly from the bag. 

Cook number 5

 

Cook number 6

Since the lump basket doesn't appear to be clogging I think this experiment might last a while.

I am enjoying seeing your “everyday” cooks.

TY shuley - not always fancy at the Bistro. Sometimes just regular food. Things I wouldn't normally make a big cook thread for. 

 

[Stile88]

Very nice experiment the food looks fantastic 

One thing for sure though the other cookers would of been clogged already lol
