    I'm expecting a scam.... but how can they make money on me? If they don't deliver I'll get paid back. badf00d - how did they try and scam you? I guess they could try and scam Amazon... If I get a call asking for more info or a card number or something then I will know....

        So whatever ended up happening here?

      Spinaker they (Amazon) canceled the order - only reason given was for "technical problem" - it was a scam.... they took it down and there was another scam listing posted almost immediately - can't blame a guy for trying though... I'm always looking for a deal...

        Your listing read almost exactly like the one I saw, but with a different email address.

        So we've come full circle......when are you getting your KBQ?

      Spinaker I just got back from the grocery - getting some more beef short ribs so I can correct the mistakes I made this weekend. I was worried about a source for wood for the thing. The grocery is only 3-4 miles, and almost on the way is a place I had past for years without really noticing it called Alabama Forest products. They process wood, but I figured it was probably only wholesale. I go in there and they do sell to the public. In fact they have 2 large piles of scrap stuff actually outside the gate that is pretty much the perfect size. One is Oak and one is Hickory - 8 cents a pound. Not much fruit wood down here in Alabama. But it's almost like it has been preordained that I need to do this. So before I think of some other reason not to I'm just going to do it! - There - clicked on Meatheads Amazon link and done. ..................... No remorse..... yet....

        Well, my wife is ok with the KBQ, but wants me to wait until we move next year. :-(

        Why wait? The KBQ is portable, I take it places all the time.

      Having some leftover KBQ beef ribs. Vacuumed I'm smoke day, as fresh as off the smoker.

        Breadhead YESSIR!

      Ernest That looks awfully good. Can I ask for some advice? I just bought a rack of beef short ribs to cook tomorrow to try and repair all the mistakes I made on Sunday. Looking at your picture it appears you don't remove all the fat off the tops.Do you remove the silverskin? Would you mind sharing how you typically make yours? Do you do want thing special with the rub? Cooking temp - done temp - ?? resting time - anything I can get would be helpful if you have the time. Thanks in advance. (I hope this is not the same as asking a man to "flip his meat" )

          Spinaker I can't update my signature until the KBQ gets here... I don't want to anger the Barbecue Gods. I did not even think about asking the wood people about any treating. They are processing raw trees there so I don't see how that could be. But I know nothing about this stuff so probably a good idea to ask.

            Just have some meat to smoke and some wood to burn!

          slvance I get the meat out of the package, rinse and dry. Season with my rub (1 Cup kosher salt, 2 tablespoons ground black peppercorns mixed with allspice corns, 1 tablespoon granulated garlic and 1 teaspoon chipotle powder). I make a batch and use as my daily seasoning. Leave that on overnight.
          Smoke at 225 until probe tender. Costco ones are Prime so they are done at around 185 degrees. Some lower quality may go up to 200 degrees.

          Notice I didn't mention any trimming. I don't trim any. I'm on a ketogenic journey, I eat mostly fat.
          There's no special tricks to it. Just very basic BBQ, but the results are top notch.
          Come to think of it, I haven't used any fancy rubs since my second KBQ cook, September of 2015.
          My best advice is to contact KBQ and join us. LOL!!

          Comment


            Ernest thanks very much for the advice.... I'm not sure if this is prime or not - Publix Grocery - I'll ask next time I am in there. I'll prep it tonight. Do you put it in cold from the fridge or let it sit some? I've heard it 2 ways - put it in cold to boost the smoke ring or let it get to room temp so the muscle is not tight? Oh - and I did join you - bought a KBQ today... thanks again...

            Comment


              slvance That's great news!
              I actually place mine in the freezer while I prep the KBQ. Goes in COLD, straight from the freezer.

                I do the same. Works like a charm.

              Waiting for DWCowles to join this KBQ movement.

                Not seeing this happening anytime soon. DW is too traditional for the KBQ. That Rec Tec he has is an anomaly.

              NICE Cowboy Steak @Mpryan!!

              I also love the Sakura plate; my Ma gave me a coffee cup in that pattern, upon my return from Iraq.

              That makes it my favorite, among many. (Probably helps that I still make my coffee in her Corningware 10-cup percolator!!)

              Best regards, keep smokin'!!

                Ernest There is really no "Prime" meat in any grocery stores anymore, at least around here in the "real" south . I can see from your pictures that the stuff you get has way more meat on top as well. I'm not a Costco member cause the store is a drive from the house - 30 minutes. But my Dad is and I'll ask him to let me know next time he goes and I'll tag along and check out their meat. I make a lot of ribs - mainly baby backs so far - and I have gotten good meat on that from Publix, but the beef ribs don't look too good. Kamado is fired up now and letting the dirty smoke burn off. Rubbed over night with the Ernest rub... have a good one

                  Best of luck with the cook.

                Spinaker i know you said that you use the lodge cast iron grate from the sportsmen on top of the KBQ fire box- do you happen to have grill grates? if so have you tried those on top of the firebox? Anyone else? Ernest I see a lot of weber products - maybe you've tried them. GrillGrate Brad has anyone ever asked you to rig something up for the fire box of the KBQ?

                  There's a lot of heat at the top of the KBQ firebox. GrillGrates might melt.

                  As I alluded to below, The sportsman Grill grate is the best option for sure. It just a perfect match. Ernest Histrix

                  I'm afraid my Grill Grates would warp using it on top of the KBQ. The Lodge Sportsman's grate makes a "great" grate thanks to Spinaker's original idea.
