What is the Hardest Thing you Cook?

Brisket, It has gotten better but still worlds away from Hard 8 quality. I have one in the freezer. I have a good feeling about that one. We will see...........

Chicken by far.

I can never get it right no matter what I do. BUT I still keep trying. One of these days I'll hit it.

pizza. It's not hard to get something edible but it's really hard to get perfect. Either the cook faster than bottom or vice versa, or the dough bubbles or one side cooks faster or the toppings fall off in transfer or the outsides are cooked more than the middle (big problem in the kamado because the top vent is in the middle so there isn't as much air moving over the middle.)

If I wasn't so picky, it wouldn't bother me but I like it to be perfect.

I was the same way until I tried banking the coals to one side on the OTG, seared briefly then moved to the indirect side until they came up to temp. Now it's money every time.

Ribs for me, my family thinks they are awesome but I know better. I can't seem to keep from burning them.

The bane of my existence...

Bite through crispy skin.
It's either bite through rubber skin or crispy slip-off-the-motherfarker skin.

I'll get it though.

Oh and brisket flat. Points I rock but my flats SUCK.

Boneless chicken breasts. The only part of the chicken my wife will eat, and she has to watch her salt intake, so no brining. I might have to get a Thermapen just for them.

that tool is worth it - my chicken breasts are great now for my wife :thumb:

brisket flat, bite through chicken skin, sometimes ribs give me trouble...but pork in general is good to be and beef short ribs are a new favorite.
