Unpacking worked very well--the packing material was nicely thought out and designed to have the KK arrive safe and ready to unpack. We made a ramp out of the shipping materials and carefully rolled the KK off. I was careful to assure flate ground and no bumps or gaps on the ramp. Our BGE is now in the side yard being seriously outclassed by the KK.
I had been using the BGE for nearly ten years in three different states cooking hundreds of meals, including some during mid-winter in deep snow cooking turkey early in the morning. With that experience, I appreciate my new KK cooker even more.
The KK cooker looks great and works great. People notice it. Rotisserie cooking is a fantastic capability. The KK design and build quality rate 10 out of 10. I keep on discovering features that have been thoughtfully designed into the KK. Customer service is fantastic.
Happily smoking with my new KK cooker in New Orleans.
