I had been looking at a Kudu grill for a while and when I saw that they were $100 off in November I pulled the trigger. Decided for a ribeye for the maiden voyage to get a feel for the thing.

Nice sized ribeye.

Let that hang out while I let a mixture of lump and wood burn down a bit.

Adjusted the grate up high to let the ribeye slow cook at take on some smoke.

After about 40 mins, I lowered it down to finish.

Short rest and time to see how it turned out.

Need to dial things in just a bit, but over all very happy with the first cook. I really liked the extra smokiness from letting it hangout above the fire for awhile. I can see doing this for a while before I get tired of it.
 
I was an early adopter of the Kudu. Thought it would scratch my Santa Maria itch. It is fun to cook on when weather permits.
 
I kind of had the same thought/hope.

Did it scratch it?


Great maiden voyage KUDU cook, Joe! I reviewed the KUDU not long after it was launched:

It certainly has the core elements of a Santa Maria grill, but more accessible and portable, if need be. Semi-regular high winds where we used to live in CA prevented me from using it more frequently. Had I known we would be moving to middle TN a few years later, I would have hung onto it!

Looking forward to seeing more cooks on your new KUDU!
