I purchased a PK grill a month or so ago and have been cooking quite a lot on it lately. Today's dinner is beef short ribs, Bush
baked beans and broccoli salad.
I seasoned the ribs with Killer Hogs TX brisket rub.

I set up the PK for 2 zone cooking using B&B char logs with a few chunks of oak. I used B&B briquettes to get the char logs going.

Here they are at the 2 hour mark. They are starting to get some great color.

They are probe tender at the 5 hour mark. I will be pulling them and resting for a bit.

My delicious plate of goodness! Ribs were smoky, juicy and have a good bark. Absolutely delicious!

I am really liking the PK Grill. I had my bottom vent with the coals set at 1/2 open with the top vent over the ribs 1/2 open.
I maintained temperatures between 260 and 275 the entire 5 hour cook. I still have plenty of char logs left for another cook.
I have completed 3 long cooks on the PK and have had charcoal left over each time. Once the vents are set it is almost as easy
as using one of my pellet grills.

Great job! I only grill on my PK 'cause I have so many smoking options, but I may smoke on it just for the heck of it.

Where can I obtain a separator like this?

This is part of the kick ash basket system. They do sell the divider separately. Here is the link for the divider (https://www.kickashbasket.com/kick-ash-divider-for-pk-grill.html). It looks like it will fit the standard PK charcoal grate. I will check it tomorrow and let you know.

Dang! I don't think it'll fit the standard charcoal grate because the standard grates run the length of the grill. The Kick Ash grates run across the base (width) so the Kick Ash divider leg won't lock.

You are correct. I just checked and they are opposite directions. It does work great as a charcoal divider and heat sink. I really like the basket and to me it was worth the money. I have one in my Akorn too.

Mike, I don't think that there is a grill that you can't produce magnificent food thereon (Jaxon taught me that word). Good looking beef ribs. I still remember those beef ribs you did at Backyard Jack's a couple of years ago. They were outstanding.

Mike, those look delish ! ! !

fantastic Mike

Now that is a old school cook with great results.
I have always wanted the PK360 but it is slightly larger than the original and way to pricey IMHO
I will stick with my Original PK

Yeah, the PK360 was too much money for what little you gain in space. So I went with the original. No complaints so far.

Man HOS, those are nice looking short ribs.

Great looking ribs, great cook.

"It ain't the cooker, it's the cook".
I could take the PK and some ribs, but they would not turn out like these.
Mike knows what he's doing with a grill and to make it work. He's like a barbecue "whisperer".
