Forgot to post the results......this recipe was over the top good !!!! Plenty of bark along with moist, tender and falling off the bone Before After
Spatchcock chicken rubbed with garlic herb seasoning cooking over apple wood. It's just heading on and I have some pork chops to follow shortly. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
Just opened this to enjoy with dinner. It's pretty darn good that's for sure. I love the new growler filling station our local joint has it is phenomenal! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
The only credit I can take is buying the right equipment and using it properly. Everything that comes off that Akorn is killer good. Totally sold on the kamado cooker. Whenever this one gets run down, I may buy a ceramic. But I'll probably just get another Akorn.
I have both an Akorn and a Kamado Joe. I got a killer deal on my Joe($500 New) and I will say this there is more than $200 dollars difference between the two of them. I cooked exclusively on the Akorn for 2+ years however now that I have both of them I rarely if ever use the Akorn for low and slows as the Kamado Joe hands down is easier to regulate, start, and is much more steady. I still use my Akorn frequently especially when we are having large groups of people over and for the money it is hard to beat it! The Akorn does use less fuel when it is really cold outside though.
I tightened mine up as much as I could when I got it. I know now where it needs to be set for the temp I want, and I rarely have to touch it. Now yesterday when I put 18 lbs of cold pork butt on I had to open it up for a couple hours, then I could back it down to my usual 250-275 setting. I suppose if I run across a hot deal on a ceramic, I would probably take the plunge.
It is pouring down rain tonight so I made a quick family favorite Louisiana burgers with remoulade sauce. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
