The trick about catching the temperature on the way up is probably the best tip for anyone using a BKCG/BSK grill. Once it goes over the target temp, it isn’t easy to get it back down.

Glad to see you are enjoying the BSK.

I’ve had my BSK for about 3 months now, and I’m really getting my grove on with it now. I use probably about 3 times a week, and it is fantastic for both high heat searing and low and slow. There is a learning curve on getting the temp right. I have found the trick is to not let it get too hot when I want to do a low temperature cook. But I smoked a pork butt for about 5 hours without hardly touching the grill.

All in all I’m really pleased with it and I would recommend it highly. I have never owned an Egg, but I do have friends that use them, and I think the BSK is just as easy to use, costs less, and the food tastes just as good.

Great idea on the top grill mod. I might have to give that a try and see how it works.

I briefly considered adding the audio track to the article, but then decided I would rather avoid spending any time with copyright lawyers…

i had the bk since 05/09 and i use it at least 4-5 times a week i have grilled on it made pulled pork, ribs,chicken,pizza and baked cake. if you do bake a cake on make sure you start with clean charcoal that has no smoking wood or grease in it. if i do indirect cooking i put a pizza stone on cast iron grate with drip pan. then upper grate. i did make my own upper grate with a 16in. grate that i put 6in. stainless steel carrage bolts 1 at the top and 2 on the bottom like a tri pod makes it nice and sturdy. i used 3/8in. carrage bolts heads of bolts fits in cast iron groves

I think this is the best review I’ve read on the Bubba Keg because you’ve used it so many times before giving your opinion and you are honest about it.

I think this is quite helpful.

I think kamado’s are tricky to learn at first for anyone that’s used other grills, so I’m not sure that’s limited to the BK.

I’m sure we can find something else to not post about that will be entertaining. And since I didn’t get a plate setter thing with Bubba Ho-Keg, apparently I don’t get it either…

Stay tuned for the ongoing quest for a plate setter.

Now what will I do for entertainment? Excellent review, I do not get the no plate setter thing.
