My new K5 did a turkey for Thanksgiving, a ham for Christmas, and now about to do a prime rib for New Years. I plan to follow your procedure to the letter from your website. This website is very classy, and very clean!!

I owned a kamado 20 years ago, that broke in a move a few years later. I'm set to order a #7 in cobalt next week, and your site has me fired up! What am I going to do for two months while they build it? The Weber gas grill seems very inadequate now.....

question, did your butcher tell you if there were any difference in where he cuts the prime from, and does there make any difference with bone in or bone out? if you have time to answer i am interested in your answer. God Bless Dick Tolson bigbush@qconline.com

So is there a device to provide a minimal amount of heat from regular D batteries? I am looking for something that is portable that can keep something above freezing temperature. i am looking for something for personal use that I can make with items from Radio shack or similar place.

Alan: I was looking through your high temp techniques. I just cleaned out my #5, and still have high temp problems. should I select out the smaller coals and only use large lump? That is about the only thing I can come up with. what about volume of lump? I am filling a huck wok, which has about a 3/4 inch gap, evenly, from the firebox curve. About 4-5 inches deep in the middle. Thanks, Charlie

I am interested in buying a ceramic grill. I am trying to decide between the Kamado #7 and the Big Green Egg (Large). Can anyone give me some advice that will help me make my decision? I am not concerned about the price difference because I've been saving for this over the past five years.

Hey Alan, I just wanted to let you know that I finally ordered my K. If you don't remember me, I am the one who spoke with you on the phone about a month ago. Well, I ordered the #5 textured, lumpsaver, stainless steel grill, lower bracket, thermometer, grid scraper, stone, and charcoal. I took advantage of the Xmas special. Unfortunately, they said I probably won't receive it until March, but I can't wait to get it. Thanks for the advice. Anthony

You provided some very helpful hints for a novice K owner, I've just got the technique of temp control down pat and I' anixous to try out everything. Your experience and photos to show the results help a lot in understanding the superb cooking results you can achieve from the 'K' smoker, griller, etc.

Really informative website! I'm buying a bike exactly like yours and am considering many of the same accessories. My BMW dealer has advised against Motolights due to vibration of the front fork, which would lead to frequent bulb replacment. They also warn against instant damage to the motolights due to tipping the bike over. Have you had any negative experience with these concerns?

I fully concur with your comments. However, I would very much like to get some info regarding the safety of the Schuberth Flip-up as I have not been able to find any articles discussing this subject. Obviously the flip-ups are NOT Snell certified. Now what tests have been conducted on them and what are the results? What are the opinions of knowledgeable enthusiasts? I would love to have a Schuberth Flip-up for the convenience and I don't mind sacrificing a little less safety but not much. The fit of the Araib Quantum really is nice on me but it sure does not have the convenience. Would appreciate any comments and/or recommendations.

[Webmaster replies: None of the flip up helmets have been submitted for Snell certification.  I have no reservations about the quality of any of the current crop of flip up helmets]

I was checking out the newsgroup/message board implementations that you had forwarded to Donna and stumbled over here.  By the way, great website(s). My wife was pretty intrigued by the Kamado's and I was pretty intrigued by all the good looking food that was coming off of them.

Today, July 15, 2002, I purchased at a yard sale a large orange urn like cooker. Was told it is a kamado cooker purchased in the early 70's. Needs a lot of restoration and I am ready to get started. My first job is to find a top, cap, lid or what ever you call the medium used to cover the top. Any help in locating one would be very much appreciated. By the way it cost me $50.

I've been looking at (via internet and a "local" store that's only 35 miles away) Big Green Eggs. I happened across the Kamado.com website and wondered if anyone has experience with both and would comment on the differences (beyond cosmetic and the obvious mechanical differences). How about the "Primo"? Chuck

I was disappointed because when I saw Zenreich I thought this was a website for militant Budhists, but I was searching for London Broil so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Was getting ready to purchase the Maverick dual channel model when I ran across your site. The information you provided was very helpful and I think I'll wait until the high temp probes are standard. Just smoked my very first chicken (very 1st anything, actually). Used a $20 single probe type very successfully, but quickly realized I had to go out back every time I wanted to see what was happening with the chicken, and still had to guess at the environment in the smoker. That convinced me to spend the money to get the 2-channel remote Maverick, and your comments have put me at ease about the quality and operation. Thanks.

Do you make the Run-N-Lites for a 1997 Yamaha Royal Star motorcycle? I think if you made lights for other motorcycles that they would sell very well.

I understand there is a factory in Sacremento. I plan to visit them. Also I have a little kamado about the size of a big 'medicine ball'. I have had for years and is still new and unused because it was given to me without the instructions and I was not interested in slow cooking at the time. Do you know where I might get instructions?

I am going to try your Prime rib recipe tomorrow evening. I might even try to build a sliding drip pan. Yours is the only good recipes I have seen for these cookers. Thank you. Buz Payne

I am currently researching buying my first grill and I came across the Kamado site (which then brought me to your site). Excellent job on your site, I love the details and pictures on your adventures in using your grill. I thought I was pretty much set on getting a Weber gas grill, but I'm not seriously thinking about a Kamado.

Dear BMWZENMAN! I have been fascinated by your thorough chronicle of your relationship with your R-1200CM...I have been color copying for several hours...and following all of your well thought-out links. I have a $1000.00 deposit on the very same model and traditional black color...the colors are really, all great,...but tradition got the best of me! I once had a Brand New R60/5...saw a fatal crash in 1971 and reluctantly sold my bike, my oldest son was just 3 yrs. old....now he is 34! And for more kids later...at age 58.....with ALL that is on the market, I still have a lasting affinity for BMW, and the quality crowd that I seem to fit best with, I have made a very expectant and exciting decision. I've looked at everything! Think I'll get the Aeroflow system from the start after I have read that with which you have assisted so willingly in my research! I'm buying from an excellent dealer, Winnetka BMW, in the San Fernando Valley California area. My NEW BABY IS WAITING WITH A "SOLD" TAG HANGING IN RED AS I WRITE. Thank you for your EXCELLENT COVERAGE AND ASSISTANCE! Philip A. Kunkle philipkunkle@aol.com

Hey Found your site from the Kamado site. I sell the Kamado in the UK and thought you might like to have a look at it. http://www.gardensinbloom.co.uk If you search around you will find things like the history, manual and various pics. We are just updating this section to include the new versions. Any chance of a mention on your page and I will put you on our site for any Americans who might be interested in the Kamado and if you could do the same for me it would be perfect for UK visitors. I know the lads who import into the UK quite well and things seem to be going great for them. I hope it becomes a cult in the UK like it is in the States. Your site is clear, precise and easy to follow, I like it very much. Anyway all the best to you and in the future Regards Michael Proprietor Garden In Bloom http://www.gardensinbloom.co.uk

hello! I have seen a recipe of a pasta e ricotta or in simpler meaning is macaroni and cheese. And in your recipe (macaroni and cheese) you said that we put the cheese mix right? What if in our country, cheese mix is not that popular yet, and i choose to do the ricotta recipe thing, and another problem comes up to me. The ricotta cheese is also not popular here, maybe if i could use an alternative, what could it be?pls reply thanx!

Hehe, I'm a college student and definitely know the merits of Mac & Cheese. Little do established persons understand the true meaning of "Stir the noodles with a stirring thing." However, it is a common understanding and recommendation amongst those of us in 'the pursuit of knowledge' to call it a 'thingy' instead of a 'thing'. ;) Alas, I yearn for the day when I might be able to afford the other delicacies on your site ($48 for 4 steaks? Ouch! ... <drool>) and a Kamado to cook them with! PS. Consider also Top Ramen for your expert recipes ...

Hi Allan, Just wanted to sat hi and let you know I enjoyed your Web site. We met twice (with our bikes) once on the top of Perkins and last week at Piermont. I'm the new rider with the Suzuki Black Intruder 800. I dropped my bike off at the dealer today for it's first oil change, etc....(has 550 miles so far). In addition, they will also install a mini-tach for me. I also asked them to chjeck the bike (engine vibration over 50mph) my gut feeling >>>> they'll say it's natural with all V-Twins...hmmm I spoke with other risers and they don't get the vibration. Oh well, I'll at least be patient and let the bike break-in first. By the way, your BMW is a beauty...like the high tech stuff. With the weather getting nicer, I'm sure we will pass (meet) each other again soon. Thanks for all the useful info you provided to this new rider.....Having a great time!

I'm using Cook's Illustrated recipe for corned beef. Do you have any experience with how long the beef will keep in the refrigerator. I made two pieces - one I'll eat in a few days, but the other I might want to eat in a few weeks. It seems like it should keep for months but I'm new to this.

In the Chromeheads web site you stated: "I installed the Run-N-Lites a couple of weeks ago, they seem fine and add a little conspicuity to the rear of the bike." My question is how do the red LED's look from behind the amber lens? Is it confusing? Did you buy the flashing alert module as well?? I am interested in adding more light to my rear end of my R1200CM but do not want to go crazy cutting into the elec. system.

[Webmaster reply: I'm using the amber lenses in the back (which work fine) but will shortly switch over to the clear lenses for some additional conspicuity]

Hi! I'm curious about one of the actors in Oliver!. Do you happen to know if Larry Brustofski is (or was) a sales rep for Cherrydale Farms fundraising? I used to work there and Larry was one of the sales reps I dealt with a lot. Since I'm no longer working there I lost touch with him. If it's not too much trouble, please say hello to him for me and feel free to give him my email address as well. By the way, you don't know if he happened to have a role on Law & Order: SVU this week do you? I just finished watching it and in the credits I saw "Larry Brustofski as a businessman" but I don't recall seeing him during the show. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

PHILLY PRIME RIB ROAST Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Keep oven door shut. Season the roast with salt pepper/peppercorns crushed. Slit fat side and push raw garlic into the slits. Dust the roast lightly with Wondra Flour. Place on a rack pan fat side up. NOTE: Roast must be at room temperature. Open the oven, place the roast in the center of the oven, close the door. Roast for only 5 minutes per pound. That's right only 5 minutes. Turn off the oven, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, let the roast stand in the hot oven for one hour. Do not open the door. After one hour, remove the roast, let stand for 10-15 minutes. Slice as desired. The roast will be done to a medium rare. This may be done with a Filet Mignon Roast. Try it!!!

I was looking for information about ricotta cheese, mostly to try and find out how much fat the cheese have. I have found on your page instructions on how to make the cheese. its easier (for me) to just buy the cheese in the store, but now I have a good idea what the cheese is made from. By the way, how much fat does goat milk have? Thanks

Hi Alan, I don't know if you remember me-Marc and I visited your home and checked out your grill; we had bought one and live in Ramsey.

I would love to run out tomorrow and buy it. Thanks and happy grilling! Kristen

I was glad to find someone with insight regarding thermometers and the grill. Yup, I burned out the wire with a hot trip through Porterhouse Land. Even with the cost of replacement, the steaks were worth it. Here is what I need to know, where to find that "wire thingy" so I can burn it up again. Right now the thermometer is not doing much good. Can you help with a suggestion on where to find replacement parts? I really don't want the whole she-bang. thanks for a nice site. jt

Why are you grilling the shrimp with the shell on? Skew the Shrimp, marinate in an olive oil based marinade or even just toss in olive oil and season to taste. 1 1/2 to 2 minutes perside max is all you need for 15 count prawns and 2-2 1/2 for 8 count prawns. Try this some time. Olive Oil Garlic (The more the better) Cilantro Parsley Crushed Red Pepper Ground Black Pepper Salt Marinate with the shells off and grill as directed above for per pound size. Enjoy!

Hey ya'll, Stumbling through the web the last few days and found my way into the land of Borland and Delphi and remembered "I used to know a guy and his wife who, aside from being Benihana database masters (capable of tossing a pea into the air and normalizing it into the shape of a mermaid before it hits the grill), but who were also remarkabe human beings at the same time (a combination not often found), and decided to type in a url directly knowing that they were surely registered and all that (they were), and voila! So I poked around your website for a bit, saw some great pictures and paused for a second at "electric radio controlled aircraft"? Wow. The reason for pausing was a cover article I saw earlier this morning on the cover of Popular Science about electric flying helicopters and thought to myself "Hmm. I wonder if something like that would help out my ham radio club? (helping to hold an antenna wire 300 feet straight up in the air for 24 hours) Possible? Not possible? "Go with balloons, my son." Yes I'm still at ABC. Working with the Broadcast Engineering group. Married. Stepdaughter 13. Living the genteel life in South Pasadena. Your website says you are well and lving the balanced life.

Greetings; With long ago and limited biking experience, I chose to reactivate. I took the basic course, got licensed, and bought a R12C (a '99 with only 165 miles on it) about 2-weeks ago. It basically looks like a Montana without the windshield or engine guards. I linked to your sight as I was reading/learning about the Aeroflow. I will add it to my R12C folder! Very well done.

Hello! In reference to the order in which you incorporate the cheese mix, butter, and milk, I have found that while the noodles are draining, return the pot to low heat and the add butter, milk and the cheese mix. Stir the mixture til it forms a nice creamy texture, and then add your drained noodles. You will find that it really mixes better and more thoroughly this way. Boy is it mmmmmm-mmmmmmm good!!!!!!!

I linked to your site previously from BBQ Newsgroup and found the remote temp page very helpful. I ended up purchasing a "Ponder" Unit which fills my needs. I checked with the local Radio Shack, but they quit handling their remote temp unit. The major problem I had was locating an outlet that sells the Ponder, but found a web site "Comfort House" that sells the Ponder Unit along with extra probes. They were a little slow in filling the order, but delivered what I ordered. You have a great web page with a lot of useful information. Thanks for your help.

Very smart way of making heated insoles. I made some heated gloves using very thin nicrome resistive wire and it was perfect. Could you tell me where you got the samples of Gorix tissu, I will for sure make some since here in Quebec its cold. This year I rode from the middle of march to december the 11 and heated soles would have made it less miserable. Thanks Jean-Charles Paquin

I have a ceramic cooker that came back from Japan several decades ago in the hold of a submarine. It has now been passed on my generation for use. I'm glad to see interest in this type of cooking resurfacing in the U.S. Look forward to more visits to your site in the future.

Great site. I heard about it on alt.food.barbecue I love cabbage soups. A friend of mine gave me her "Sweet potato and cabbage" soup recipe and now I'm hooked. Yours sounded interesting so I made it last night. It came out really well! A few comments on your recipe and how I varied mine a bit. For the meat, I used about 2 lbs. of beef rib meat cut up into small pieces. It ended up being very tender. Your advice about skimming after bringing the water to boil is important, as there was a lot of yucky stuff on the water that would have made it nasty looking if left in the soup. You did not specify how much water to use! I "winged it" with about a gallon of cold water on the meat and slowly brought it to a boil. Instead of whire rice, I used brown rice. Better for you. I love onion, so instead of removing a whole onion after it was done, I added 2 medium onions, cut up when I added the cabbage. I also spiced it a bit with ground black pepper, garlic, cumin and cayanne pepper. Both of these cabbage soup recipes I've tried now are easy and fun to make.I agree with you about it being better after being chilled and reheated later. The flavors do seem better. If anyone wants my friend's recipee, send me an email. Dave

Re: Bulgoki and Kalbi It's always nice to see non-Koreans enjoying this great undiscovered Asian cuisine. A couple of comments ... originally from my mother who pounded it into me. - ideal BBQ is of course a non-gas unit AND it always tastes better using real wood charcoal as opposed to briquettes. There are also many who prefer small hibachi style grills. For indoor preparation, most Koreans prefer the meat to be cooked in a frying pan as opposed to broiling as it maintains the juices and the marinade better. Goig this route, you can easily cook it at the table with an electric frying pan. Tradition calls for cooking at the table. - if you are actually grilling outside, my mother insists that I cover the grills with aluminum foil and then poke large holes in it with chopsticks or similar pointy instrument. This allows the smoke to come through and the foil keeps the juice and the marinade on the surface rather than dripping down onto the coals. Some additional comments from me ... - the ideal complement to this (and steamed rice of course) is kimchi, the hot stinky Korean pickled cabbage. If you can't get the stuff in your area or if it's a bit over the top for you, try slicing plain sweet green pepper and serve a dip of any good asian hot sauce or any other asian flavored sauce. Although Korean hot sauce has a very distinct flavor, Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine also has good ones and these are often easier to find. Also, try placing a bit of rice in a leaf of leaf lettuce, and place the meat in with it, roll it up and eat it like a little burrito. The fresh taste of the lettuce (or green pepper) is an excellent complement to the BBQ. Other options are Japanese condiments -- in particular the yellow pickled daikon radish. Though not fresh tasting I always found the taste and texture to be very compatible. Pickled ginger also works. - because of the western preference for prime rib roasts and rib eye steak, it is often difficult to find the proper cut of meat at a regular super market. Kalbi requires cross cuts to the rib which is contrary to rib roast. If you're lucky, you might find "short ribs" in the meat section. In a pinch simply get a rib roast, carve it up into thin slices and prepare as usual. You'll get the basic flavor of Kalbi without the bone. You can also grill the large rib bone as well and then gnaw on it Fred Flinstone style. Not exactly Korean but delicious nonetheless. Bulgoki in general, uses other cuts of beef. - Finally, the ultimate traditional way to truly enjoy kalbi is to eat all of the gristle. Most of my western friends find this notion repulsive but I can't resist. It's a lot of work, doesn't have a lot of flavor but there's something irresistable about tearing every last bit of edible material from the bone. Have fun ...

Checked with Sharper Image (1/15/02) and they are stocking the RediChek Remote Temp by Maverick again. This one only has one probe outlet and both units use AA batteries. Otherwise. form factor and function seem the same as the one you have. Store cost is showing at 59.99 US. Smokecooker

For a sweeter Kalbi 3 tablespoons of honey per 3 tablespoons of shoyu (soy sauce), mix over very low heat so honey is easy to mix, don't allow to boil. and instead of sesame oil and preroasted seeds, roast own sesame seeds (as much as u want, never too much ;) as far as i'm concerned) in a small fry pan on high heat until all are a deep rich brown color, w/ oily shine and popping in the pan, then add to mixture. Be careful seeds will sizzle in mixture and could splash a little (not to mention the smoke in the kitchen). Kalbi is one of the best ways to prepare short ribs, but you can use it with thin pork and boneless chicken thigh. Great page. My grandfather had a kamado and Thanksgiving turkey was always the best!!!

Thanks for the information. I have both the Polander thermometer and Maverick Remote and the probes seem to be interchangable. I have three, but two have gone out, so I am using the one survivor. I was glad to see that I could find replacements. But you don't indicate where to get the replacements, or did I miss something.

I can't find the Maverick remote thermometer at Sharper Image website or in their latest catalog. Help!!

Webmaster note:  Sharper Image apparently no longer carries the unit I have, but it seems to be available if you click here.
