Thanks Dennis for all your hard work bringing us the very best cookers, dodads and a great web site. May you prosper for years to come.

BOOKS OF INTEREST I would agree the two books I enjoy are: Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book by Chris Lilly and Legends of Texas Barbecue by Robb Walsh. I enjoy the history and stories very much. Another book of interest is Steven Raichlen's book Barbacue Bible-Sauces, Rubs and Marinades. I know there has to be 1000's of BBQ books out there, but I think you can only get hints of how to from any of them. What ever you are useing to cook on there is a learning curve you can only master with trial and error. I'm not good on experimenting-I WANT A BOOK DEALING ONLY WITH CERAMIC COOKERS, so boys and girls get busy and do a KK BBQ BOOK and I will buy several copies.

Hi to you. You will enjoy the forum as much as your new KK.

Good plan Cruz I would do the same if I already had a 40# unit. Can't believe you will have a problem with everything real tight. I haven't used mine (6" basket) yet, but think I will like the results. Also will at some point get the 8" basket that Dennis is now making. Question: do you see any difference using the roti vs rack cooking?

Onegrill 50# motor Hey Cruzmisl go to Onegrill site (above in Slu's message) on the bottom of the page click on 'MOTORS' then go to page 2 and you will see the 50# motor (4pm15) $54.95. Click on this and it will bring up more description. Then click on 'Technical Specks" and you will see 'CW ROTATION WHEN LOOKING AT THE BACK' (clock wise) And somewhere in this forum you will find a lot of discussion on the right direction the motor needs to turn. I think someone pointed out it needed to turn ccw(counter clock wise) if you were looking at the square drive--which would be CW looking at the back. I confirmed this with Joe at Onegrill and was told only the 50# motor turned in the direction we needed for our unit. I hope all this doesn't muddy the water too much BUT bottom line the 50# motor is correct for our use. Have a good weekend.

Yes It will work but it will unscrew itself if not tightened up really tight. The direction the 40# turns will encourage the thing to loosen up. It would be better to go with the 50# if you are buying a new unit. Happy cooking.

Warning! Be sure and buy the 50# motor from Onegrill. It turns in the right direction. The 40# does not. This is a real quality product.

NO

Congrats and enjoy for years to come.

Hmmm so I used 2 chunks and don't believe it was enough. My first fireing and cook came off without a hitch. Easy to maintain temp. I did the Chris Lilly loaf pan thing. Good thing I did two chickens--granddaughter was having a fit to get on the lake and by the time we came back there was hardley enough to eat must less take a picture!! Note to self: get another loaf pan, two ain't enough.

T Rex when you say to much smoke--how much wood did you use? Just curious since I would like to do a couple of Lilly's loaf pan chickens this week end(!!! MY FIRST COOK !!!) I'll bet I now hold the record for owning a beautiful new KK and not cooking on it.

Reminds me of George Thourogood's song "BAD TO THE BONE" Looks great!!

Dennis the whole world will miss this fine man. Sorry for your loss, but we can rejoyce knowing his rewards will be great on his next journey. May God bless and comfort your family.

GREAT BOOK Hi Chris, while visiting family in Austin I picked a copy of your book 'BIG BOB GIBSON'S BBQ BOOK' great book, well done. It will be a constant companion for me and my Levi Blue KK. Good luck on your competition cooking this year.

STILL LOOKING Calf rope, time out, I give up!! Still can't find 8" basket. Be nice and tell me where one is hideing!!
