PK TX - walkthrough and burn-in by HanksTrueBBQ.com

I just purchased a PK Classic grill with the PK TX folding stand. I'm giving it a proper walkthrough and an inaugural burn-in for 9 (!) hours. Check it out.

Just got my PK 360 woooo hoooo!

[@charlieporch3181]

I use mine every weekend. A great smoker.

[@davidpowell8097]

Thanks for the reply. Your right, I went back and watched again, I’m the one that got it bass ackwards!

[@davidpowell8097]

I think your bass akwards on the vent openings. I’ve been cooling on a PK since the late 60’s. Bottom vent under fire open top vent top opposite fire open. Did I misunderstand you?

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

Yes, I think so 😄. At 03:18 I mention that I close and open the vents on _opposite_ sides. Which is correct, and that’s how you do it, and that’s the way to roll. In other words, we’re in agreement here 😄👍

[@joshuakrasner2691]

Hi. What size firebricks are those please?

[@chadthompson3266]

I know you don’t have to spray the grate with oil because it is stainless steel, but what about the grill itself? For the seasoning process.

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

I guess I could, but I just cooked in it a few times, and that got the seasoning done automatically so to speak.

[@chadthompson3266]

Gotcha, thanks for the reply.

[@talalztube]

how do you wash it i find it hard to get those stains off the cast aluminium

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

Xavi Don’t know, haven’t gotten to that part yet :-)

[@talalztube]

@@HanksTrueBBQ when you do pls post a video of best stuff to clean out the cast aluminum

[@rwm5518]

I clean off what I can with a pressure washer and leave what doesn't come off - gives it character!

[@talalztube]

@@rwm5518 Lol fair enough

[@PalCabral]

Where did you find the thick fireproof bricks? I looked at Bauhaus and whatnot but could only find thin bricks. Second q, are you happy with your PK? Seriously thinking of buying one, my Weber is 22 years old and is finally giving up.

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

They are available at other stores also, like Hornbach etc. most places have both thicknesses. And yes, very happy with my PK, I use it for most stuff nowadays. The only “issue” is that I can’t fit a full brisket in there, but for those cooks I use my offset, or a regular 22” kettle.

[@PalCabral]

Thanks for the tip! I can imagine a full sized brisket is too big for the PK, because of its' slim width. If you tried to put it the other way it would cover the whole grill surface, including the "hot side". I bought a small brisket (3kgs) from South Side this week, was thinking this would be one of my first cooking experiences on the PK, if I manage to get my thumb out. It's a big decision.

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

@@PalCabral Then I would definitely go for the PK. It’s a lean mean steak machine 😄

[@hithere7382]

@@HanksTrueBBQ That's what we use it for, steaks, burgers, fish, cast iron vessel heating for breakfast stuff, etc.

[@joeandrewmartinez4446]

What kind of bricks are you using?

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

Joe Andrew Martinez Fire proof bricks, you can find them at most stores like Home Depot or similar.

[@eltonsbbq-pit]

That PK Gril is cool indeed.. How much did you pay for that? Here at my location it's around NOK 2900,-

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

Elton's BBQ-pit the standard model is 6500 SEK here. I added the TX stand and the beefier grill grates. I can highly recommend it, did another cook today, it’s rock solid and fun to cook on.

[@hithere7382]

@@HanksTrueBBQ They make these in my hometown, LIttle Rock AR USA. I'm glad you like our grills. I have 4 of these things, some from the 60's others since 2016.

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

@@hithere7382 Cool! Yes, they’re real nice, I use mine a lot.

[@hannajohansson4061]

Hur gör du för enklare rengöra den när den inte har en 'vanlig' uppsamlare för aska och andra rester?

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

Hej! Såg att jag missat att svara. Det är enkelt, jag vänder den upp och ned bara. Lyft av locket (det är löst, inga gångjärn eller skruvar), ta ut gallret och vänd.

[@leoekbom106]

Försöker välja min första vedeldade/kol grill och är nyfiken på Parilla, för myseldning, medium temp och grillspett. Också kikat på Morsø Forno, grillfat med ställbart galler och nu denna PX. Har en weber q vad hade du kompletterat med?

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

Morsō Forno eller Parilla.

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

Vid närmare titt på Forno känns den å ena sidan bra för man får lite ugns-effekt med "taket", å andra sidan är det svårt att variera värmen i den, det kommer bli rätt hett. Men snygg är den! Helt beroende på önskemål kanske Parrillan passar bättre. Dock gör man ingen pizza på den :-)

[@leoekbom106]

@@HanksTrueBBQ Lutar mest åt en Parrilla. Verkar svårt att köpa här, kanske för göra som du och bygga själv.

[@HanksTrueBBQ]

@@leoekbom106 Min är till salu, har för många grillar, behöver göra plats. Maila mig på [e-mail] om du är intresserad så kan vi diskutera vidare.

Släng ett getöga på din mic. Väldigt sviktande ljud. Annars gött! 👍
