I wanted to use lump for longer cooks since its more durable and maybe have leftover fuel. I've been emailing Dennis from over at komado kamado. He's selling ECC, the extruded coconut stuff...

    Looking for Butcher in Orange County for dry aged meat

    Looking for Butcher in Orange County for dry aged meat

    Looking for Butcher in Orange County for dry aged meat

    hi gary! did you make a prime rib roast for thanksgiving? =) I never made it to the HB beach area, so I still haven't gone to that butcher. I'll drop by when I'm in that neck of the woods.

    Looking for Butcher in Orange County for dry aged meat

    thanks hebby! I stopped by the place over the weekend. I asked where they get their meat from and how long they aged it. I was told they get all their meat from Newportmeat.com. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't do anything in-house. The sausages weren't homemade by them either. =( It...
