Aloha Chet... Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper ALWAYS works. I roast whole hogs on a rotisserie and all I use is sea salt and some lemon grass stalks in the cavity. joe

Joel... I like to grill beef chunks on them and baste with salted water. Also do chicken thighs and breasts, pork and Cornish game hens. joe

They sure look frightening and dangerous. I have 2 sets of them plus 2 sets of the next size smaller. I like them very much... IMO I think they are the best.... joe

Aloha kakahiaka... mahalo for your reply. You will do good. tomorrow I will huli-huli a pig for a going away party for my friends son. For that "banana" flavor I have often placed a banana in the pan. Kinda close but not traditional. By the way, what part of HI you from? I went to school...

Aloha Tommy... I do kalua pig in the imu, in the oven or in an electric counter-top roaster; all depending on how much I need to prepare. I have never done it in a smoker or WSM. 16 hours is way too long. I would just season with Hawaiian salt, add a couple dashes of liquid smoke, place in a...

Sorry John can't help you there. The Chinese style has unique seasonings and method of roasting that is difficult and nearly impossible to duplicate at home. Perhaps the Chinese roaster can sell you some additional roasted pork. Cutting the pork into 1" thick "steaks" and grilling with some...

Aloha John, How is the whole hog being prepared, kalua, huli-huli, Chinese or bbq? What other food items are on the menu? Let me know and I might be able to help. I am doing a whole hog, 125 lb this coming Saturday, huli-huli style on a rotisserie. joe

Happy Birthday Chris... Great weekend for a birthday party, weather perfect here in the Seattle area... joe

Hi Scott, I haven't bought BBs from Costco for years. I prefer to smoke spareribs for flavor and meatiness. On the spares there is the membrane that I remove but on the BBs I don't know for sure if the butchers remove it since I haven't bought some recently. I have heard that some have bought...

Nice score Stuart! Yes you are addicted...

Doing the same thing here in the Pacific Northwest; come rain or shine!

The traditional Hawaiian kalua pig is cooked on red hot lava rocks. On the rocks a bed of smashed or shredded banana stumps, banana leaves and ti leaves are placed on the rocks to prevent the pig from scorching. It also is a source of some moisture. It is a unique method of cooking since hot...

Aloha... I have been doing kalua pig in an imu for over 50 years both in HI, where I was born and raised, and also here in CA and WA. I do it the traditional way in the imu (underground pit) using lava rocks. Here in WA I use alder and maple to heat up the rocks and I season the whole hog...

Steve... I saw a "Santa Maria grill" in action at Lake Tahoe about 4 yrs ago. Pretty neat, I am thinking of modifying one of my Belsons cause the arrange now makes it impossible to adjust the grill height by myself. joe

Hi Steve... A definite YES. I have a couple of Belson charcoal grills that have moveable grills. Not the kind on a pulley system but on brackets that have notches. I have used it for tri-tips with great success. I learned to grill large cuts of pork; butts and whole shoulders 50 years ago on...

Thanks for the link George. The support assembly, legs and table is neat and so was the lid holder. joe

Hi Tim... I began grilling tri-tips in SoCal over 35 yrs ago. But in the last year or so I been doing the "reverse sear" as described by George. The results appear to be more moist in my opinion. I just use the simple Santa Maria style; salt, fresh ground pepper and fresh garlic... and cook...

Good choice... you will be happy with it! joe

Larry, I grill baby bok choy. I just cut them in half; top to bottom and lightly brush some olive or veg oil then grill... joe

Brian, just noticed that you live in Monroe and not too far from me. I live just east of MIll Creek in Silver Firs. Going to a potluck at a neighbor's this pm so I will probably light up one of my Kettles for something "quick." The butt coming apart is no big deal since you are going to pull...
