My New KUDU

Those look so awesome! I've always seen them referred to as "Cowboy Grills" here in TX and the ones I seen were all custom made.
Cool to see a company makes you you can readily buy instead of needing someone to weld and fabricate one for you.

Question though, how do you cover this thing to keep the weather off it?

SmokyMose Thanks for the advice. I wondered about the big cast iron. Not sure how much I’ll use it either. I’ll try to hunt down your duck. Thanks

Here’s the cover for it. We had a little rain two days ago and it did the job. You can even cinch it down across the underside with the sewn-in cord. That came in handy today with the wind.

The cast iron might be good for searing some sous vide items if it is already on, or if reverse searing something you smoked. It looks big and seems like it could a bunch of meat.

It looks like it would get too hot for regular cooking.

The Mrs. found a generic "fit all" at Amazon. About half the price of the one from KUDU and pretty tough.

So far I've mostly made beans, but I did try txsmoker's Ranchero with pork chops and it worked very well.
You can deep fry in it but I'm leary of having all that oil over a fire...

I understand the hot oil and fire thing. That’s not a risk I’ll ever take.

By the way, Sven, I mentioned a 16" wok which works but 17" would be better.

Good advice. Thanks. Too bad that lid can’t double as a wok or I’d be all set. Haha!
