The ring worked out really well, however I have plans to fab some custom baskets for Argent and I pretty soon.
Oh, and that pig smoker is cool. Nice score there.
A few weeks ago Argentflame picked up a ranch kettle for $250. He cleaned it up and shared the first cook with a few grillfellas. This is what happened.In attendance we had Cuda Dan, HeyJude, Argentflame, PBE Gummi Bear, Duke, and Kako5256. This was our first time meeting Cuda Dan so I guess you could call it his initiation. Although he was pretty knowledgable on the grill so he taught us a few tricks. Thanks, Cuda Dan!Cuda Dan giving a speech or something. Some cooker kettles present today. A bunch of Filipino food was on the menu today. It wouldn't be a Filipino menu without our buddy Miguel.Our buddy Sam was there tooTwo chimney's getting fired up on the RK. This thing is big folks! A WSM ring is in the back shadows and would be our charcoal basket for the day.Hey, I recognize that kettle!Prototype kettle by Duke. Argentflame and HeyJude ogling a Cook'n KettleMiss Piggy made a guest appearance.First we seared some lamb. Don't try this at home, folks!Flareups are a photographer's favorite, lol.We got the hang of the searing after a while.Argentflame in uniform manning the RK.Lots of real estate on the RKThat's 2 full frenched racks of lamb and 24 chicken thighs cooking indirect at 375F!Yummy yummy. I love big cuts of lamb!Chicken coming off the RK.and a closeup of the chicken. The chicken had a light rub. It was cooked at high heat ~375-400F so the skin was nice and crispy.Lumpia (spring rolls) were the appetizer. I forgot to take a pic of the contents. Oops.We also had pancit (noodles) and chicken adobo.Sorry you missed out Salad and Dazzo! Hopefully this meet up was just a warm up for the Napa meet in 2 weeks. Cheers!
