Astroguy57 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkA few thoughts #1 my wife said the food was strong w a hardwood flavor( she said like when you use too much mesquite). Did the grease from the burgers on last cook cause the Joe Xl lump to do this? I know for my 2nd cook fish was a big leap. Any comments will be greatly appreciated . Thanks gurus!!! And happy 4th.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 @Astroguy57 - to be absolutely certain that one cook doesn't contaminate another, I also do a high temp burn at the end of each cook. Grease can drip down onto unburned lump and turn rancid. Then when you start the lump for the next cook that rancid grease can cause all kinds of problems. To avoid this and other problems, I take my cooker to about 500-550F and let it sit there for about 30 minutes. That should leave your cooker as clean as a whistle. Finally, please make certain you set an alarm to remind yourself to shut down your kamado after 30 minutes. Dont trust yourself to remember, there will be that one time and you'll forget. You really don't want your kamado going nuclear so just set the alarm and never worry about it. Good luck. Astroguy57 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroguy57 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Thanks ,CeramicChef advice takenI am going to do a cook tonight and after last night I had already decided to change out lump and brand. The Shrimp and corn took on the strong taste. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk CeramicChef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
