I of course love smoked meats of all kinds, but also like quick cooks like chicken portions, pork tenderloins, steak and fish. Really into cooking of all kinds.
My outdoor kitchen has a Lone Star Grillz Adjustable and it is wonderful. There also is a Pit Boss 5 Burner Ultimate Griddle.
There is an outdoor fire pit that has grilling capability and limited Santa Maria-style grill raising and lowering.

Are you looking for a recipe for grilled halloumi or a recipe where it is used as an ingredient in something else? I recall a recipe I'd really like to try that a new (at the time) member posted about a while back, but I had since forgotten about it. Cyprus BBQ club mentioned a fig and halloumi stuffed pork loin. It's somewhere in the following thread. https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...889#post839889
I'd be willing to bet he has a few other recipes/ideas for halloumi, though I don't know if he is still active in the pit. Looks like he is/was a trial member.

All I can say is make sure it's cold when you smoke it. Someone here posted that room temp Halloumi melts on the grill before it browns.

depends on the brand, stuff I got in the UK never melted and would sometimes be sitting out for quite a while before cooking. I've had more hit and miss experience with brands available in the US.Last edited by ItsAllGoneToTheDogs; July 30, 2020, 07:48 AM.

Just type the word "halloumi" into the Pit search box and you'll get multiple hits on recent conversations about it.

A trick to grill cheese like this (learned from doing provolone like Argentine style provoleta), is to leave the cheese out uncovered so it forms a 'skin'. That should help it keep its shape a little better. Serve with some chimichrurri.

I made grilled halloumi and watermelon skewers. For the first time ever I softened the halloumi in nearly boiling water for 20 minutes before skewering. They turned out great. It's an unusual, flavorful recipe:
I am obsessed with this tamarind dip and eat it with almost anything. It works really well with these skewers – a mixture of crisp bread, juicy watermelon and salty halloumi.
Here are a bunch of recipes using halloumi:
Halloumi is brilliant - it's great for quick dinners and veggie barbecues. BBC Food has halloumi recipes for every occasion. Try it in veggie burgers, risottos, pastas or even as a veggie alternative to bacon.
I usually grill it in a grill pan on the cooktop or on my Grill Grates in the gasser.

Halloumi is awesome grilled. Just sear it over high heat. A cast iron pan helps a lot. I’ve cooked it hundreds of times, always so tasty! Sear it on both sides for 2 minutes. The color guides you.
