It’s the Summer of moister meats and wood fired flavor here at Kitchen Kaboodle… ok, well, Spring, but it did feel like Summer there for a little bit. And we are excited, not just for the weather, but for the introduction of one of our our new favorite things: the Kamado Joe. The finest, best-engineered Kamado there is. What’s a kamado? A kamado is a traditional, wood-fired Japanese cooking vessel that can perform all the functions of a stove and an oven. A modern kamado, like the Kamado Joe, can grill, bake, barbecue, sear, and smoke, at temperatures from 200 to 700 degrees F, simply by adjusting the air vents.  Think of it not just as the ultimate grill but the ultimate outdoor kitchen.

To celebrate, each Friday we’ll feature another of Kamado Joe’s amazing recipes from their Cooking Channel, featuring meat master John Setzler. From brisket to lasagne, salmon to smoked almonds, the Kamado Joe really does everything (we mean it, they have a recipe for cheesecake baked on the grill!).

This week, John shows you his recipe for Beer Braised Brats:
