      Thank you, sir! Proud to be here

    Have my second KBQ arriving today!

    Owned my first for probably 3 years. Sold it prior to moving to Southern Indiana just over a year ago.

    Looking forward to starting the assault again on brisket perfection.

      Thanks for the comment. People who buy more than one KBQ provide a great testimonial.

      Call me Joel.
      I will try to help you succeed with your next packer brisket.
      Have learned some new stuff from Aaron Franklin's MasterClass.
      I sent you a private message with my cell number.

    I have a KBQ and you all are inspiring to start using it again! While I love my KBQ, I don't often find the time to watch a smoker all day and end up using my MAK's as the pellet poopers are so convenient.

      Made the purchase in 2018 after reading all posts. Very nice machine (never
      had a smoker I could hose out after using!!)
      Made a few mods: bought a cart (former Costco sample table), added wheels which make it
      very easy to store when not in use, discovered my temp probes (Firebird 4 lead) can be
      snaked thru the holes at each front corner. Also purchased the Alligator and log
      splitter from Amazon. Here in Puget Sound only have access to alder, maple and apple.
      Initial smoke was a pot roast--delicious! Next smoked a pork loin and a boston butt--both came out perfect. Been nailing ribs while building up to a brisket.

      Thanks for all the excellent info from all the forum users!!

      Love this smoker!! Click image for larger version  Name:	kbq on cart.jpg Views:	207 Size:	4.20 MB ID:	747555Click image for larger version  Name:	pot roast on kbq.jpg Views:	171 Size:	4.38 MB ID:	747556

        I've had one since 2015 and it's been a great tool to work with. Bill is awesome! I love the work he put into this design, the story, and the craftsmanship.

          Dr. Pepper HawkerXP So sorry for the delayed response. I'm rarely on here, obviously. It would be great to spend more time with you all though!

          And what a terrible injustice that I posted those without captions! The top photo is a whole dry-aged skin-on pork loin with spatchcocked chicken below it (catching all the good juices). The bottom photo is herb stuffed and tied more like netted) boneless lamb shoulders.

        You three already probably know that your machine is not only special, it also has the ability to produce meats that are in "Another Dimension" ​​​​​​​(At least in my world of cooking)
        >> Feel Free to ask any and all questions about your machine and smokes. We will try to help for sure. <<

        We here at ComfortablyNumb's KBQ Roll Call welcome you all to the KBQ Family of smoking Dudes and Dudettes!

          New to this club, have owned my KBQ since summer of 2017. The amount of compliments I get is amaizing. Our Christmas Prime Rib was unbeliveable, followed Meatheads recipe exactly as published. Great Goodness

                Count me in! Just picked up a used KBQ from a forum member. It came with everything but the koozie (on order) and it has BBQ_Bill's door handle/removable door accessory and a 2" water/drippings tray at the bottom. In the picture below you can see the undesired excavations and resulting pond the dog so graciously maintains for me.

                Click image for larger version  Name:	100_3036.JPG Views:	0 Size:	1.08 MB ID:	809728

                1 rack of ribs, 1 rack of Blasphemy Ribs spread over two cooking grates, and four chicken leg quarters seasoned with the Chicka Licka Bam Bam seasoning that came with my PK grill. Ribs are seasoned with Memphis Dust. Later, I'll be doing a pork butt seasoned with Salt Lick rub.

                One problem I'm having: It is windy and the wind is hitting the right side full-on. The wood was burning too fast, flames were coming out of the left side of the firebox, and the temperature was staying a little low. I ended up making a windbreak out of thick aluminum foil and that has helped a lot.

                I pulled the Blasphemy Ribs after 3 hours (I let them go longer due to the temp problems earlier). I basted them with a mix of Franklin's original and espresso sauces plus some Stubb's original. They are great! I temped the chicken when I pulled the ribs - temp was 177* so I quickly pulled them too. This is some of the juiciest, most tender chicken I have ever made. It is fall-off-the-bone tender and literally melted in my mouth.

                  Thanks! I almost ate myself sick on those. Gonna pull the slab of ribs, rest and clean the firebox, then put the pork butt on.

                KBQ since 2-29-2020

                Need to work on my wood supply/size. Made some great looking baby back ribs.
