BBQ Adventure: Chicken in white sauce on KK

Posted by: paulr | Comments (0)

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Well I finally found some time to cook on the BBQ. Decided to cook a couple of chooks. They’re easy and if I cook two it usually means leftovers so more effcicient (and delicious). The recipe I chose was an Alabama style chicken in a white sauce (yeah, I’ll post the recipe on the forum!).

I discovered something interesting (or it may just say something about me) about my guru/stoker usage. Depending on the length of the cook and perhaps the “complexity” I tend to either use my guru for some and my stoker for other cooks. So what am I trying to say here? Read More→

Well we had some friends over on Friday (read 8 of them; well actually 7 since one of them fell sick at the last moment). We had some butterflied lamb on the Komodo Kamado.
I used butcher B2 (well my wife did) and once again their service was great. She asked for their biggest leg of lamb and to butterfly it, which they obviously did. Read More→

Just a quick update on my postage enquiry with Rock’s Bar-B-Que….
Aargh no answer yet; what with the internet and emails going across the globe almost instantaneous I guess we get used to quick replies as well. I also read the purchase and policies page on their website that stated “Rock’s Bar-B-Que currently offers products within the United States”. Read More→
