    Advice on KBQ

    I have a KBQ and I plan to make Jerk Pork along with Jerk Chicken. I plan to use pork wings or Boston Butt for the pork and thighs for the chicken. At another website, they suggest using hickory and adding allspice along with bay leaves to the fire to simulate using the Pimento wood used in Jamaica. Will the KBQ (because of pulling the smoke through the fire) get rid of the allspice/bay leaf flavor?

    So long as that technique works as expected in normal circumstances, using the top poppet full open should work for you. In my humble opinion

      Seems reasonable, but my comment is purely hypothetical. Maybe both poppets?

      Same here on being hypothetical. Not sure what temp will kill the aromatics of the herbs. My feeling is that they’ll be incinerated at a lower temp than regular wood but again...I have no experience with that

    I would think it would work, but you are going to have to use it through out the cook. I don't think simply adding it at one point will impart very much flavor.

    Do it and let us know how it works out. This could be interesting!

      KBQ's brilliant design burns ultra clean. Have you considered adding small amounts of ground allspice and bay leaves to your rub?

        Atta Kid! The flavor will come thru for sure with that method.

      I was going to recommend going full throttle on both poppets until I saw Max's suggestion. I think his advice is the way to go (and I'm thinking about changing the rub on some of my other KBQ experiments...)

        This is a good idea too. I forgot about that top Poppet. I usually run with that one closed the whole time.

        The Homemade McRib looks interesting!
