    The best part is everyone that walks by my KBQ has the same questions. "What the hell is that?" I tell them a magic box. Haha

    I'm new and have only done two professional cooks and 1 backyard cook. I cook my ribs and brisket on it. Scored 3rd place ribs once. My 1st pro cook no score missed turn in time on ribs but a judge who was walking around tasted my ribs and commented "too bad I think you'd had a chance for a call with these". Try again this year 🤞

    Max Good when I was still competing regularly (KCBS/IBCA) and at least at the events I cooked at, most event sponsors didn't allow "open fire/open pit" cooking and tended to lump the KBQ into that class of cooker because the fire box wasn't fully enclosed. No idea if that is still the case or not, but I had never seen one at either..

    Even though it was part of what I listed as on item to check, I never actually believed it was possible to set the control unit on wrong.

    Here's to JCBBQ expanding the possibilities ... 😊

    I'm surprised more teams don't use KBQ. How's that working for you?

    I sure am glad I've never done something like that. At least not something that anyone here can prove....

    Note to self: Hey Fuqnutz, how ‘bout you read the user manual and understand how to use your cooker.


    Sooooo, it turns out I didn’t set the motor correctly on the top of the cooker. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

    I compete and practice cook on my KBQ all the time. It comes up to temp quickly.
    The advice above is exactly correct.
    Start with charcoal, keep a good coal bed, at least one poppet open.
    You got this and when you do... you'll love it! 🔥

    You need to create and maintain a solid bed of red hot embers at the bottom of the fire box. Karau recommends starting the fire by dumping a chimney of lump charcoal in the firebox then loading in wood.It's best to overfill the firebox so you always have a steady supply of fresh, heated wood primed for the fire. As wood at the bottom burns, tamp the pile down to keep a solid bed of red hot coal blazing, then throw a few more pieces on top to keep the process moving along. Of course you need to have the right size of wood; no bigger than a brick, no smaller than a can of Red Bull.

    did that on more than one occasion while living in Europe. Had a C stove at home and an F one at work, my poor brain.

    OK, totally the IT consultant from the old SNL skit here, but......you did plug it in, right? 😬 And the fans were going? And at least one poppet was open? My KBQ temp rises within 5-10 minutes. lostclusters list was great.
