I'm really loving my new Kamado. So far I've done 5 major cooks on it, and have been nothing but blown away at how juicy and tender meat comes out. Last night was no exception!

The missus picked up a small pork butt, which I annointed generously with Moose's Rib Rub #2. After the Kamado came up to temp (275 degrees), on it went, along with some Kiawe and Pecan wood for smoke:



After about an hour:



Two hours in, then flipped:



Four hours in, and developing crispy goodness on the outside: :mrgreen:



Another 30 mins, I pulled the meat, and we let it rest foiled for about an hour.

The meat came apart like buttah:



At this point, it was time to warm the tortillas. Usually we make our own, but our local Mexican market was out of fresh white masa, so I opted for 1 hour old freshly made tortillas:



Into the warmer they go:



Tacos all plated up, with fresh homemade pico de gallo and salsa verde:



They were delish! :nod:
 
Not bad for a rookie! :-D

I'll take three, please!

Well, the Kamado gives me a distinct advantage now that I've been put in my place and learned that I can't control my leaky WSM.

:heh:
 
Where pray-tell are you getting kiawe in LA?

A fellow Brethren (Saiko) sent me some a few years ago and I loved it. After I ran out, I bought some more on Ebay. In fact, there's an ebay vendor selling some now if you look it up.
 
Those look great! So, what's your favorite cooker now?

Well, that's a good question. I've certainly become enamored with the Kamado as a smoker, but the UDS is my go to chicken cooking machine for Roadside and rotisserie. And of course, I love the Kingsford Oval.

The leaky WSM is currently at the bottom of the list at the moment.

:laugh:
 
Try them with a little sauce too and some some thin crispy onions/rings. Awesome that way too!

Looks good!
