Raised 1.3M dollars for kid and their families fighting pediatric brain tumors. 94 teams, 4th place ribs

I'm told $3500 to 3600 is much easier to swallow than $4260-4440. Seems to be a mental barrier there.. The size is also great for a couple. The 19" is really too small to do many full cut cooks easily. My experience and feedback is that when one loads up with some accessories and delivered, the new 21"grill will be in the low $4000's making it more accessible or easy to convince wives than just over 5 grand for the original 23". I've believed for a long time that a $3500 -3600 price point for a full size KK would hit a sweet spot.. Time will tell. BTW the 32" BB for the first time has more web views than the 23". I attribute this to the release of the 42" which confirms the 32" is not too large and makes selling it to the Mrs... MUCH easier. "Honey, I'm not getting the big one!" Suddenly the 32" is a compromise

Drives my son crazy! He has an off-set and just tears through the fuel to cook anything. I lite a baseball size spot of charcoal and after heat soaking I'll have the bottom vent maybe a 1/16" open, and the top vent about a 1/4 to 1/2 turn and hold a rock-steady 215 - 225 all day and into the next if need be. Want to raise the temp 25 - 50 degrees? no problem, just open the bottom vent a bit more. He has to add fuel every couple of hours. I say, look, holds a steady temp and uses minimum fuel...how simple is that?!! I can't repeat here what he says back.

@SmallBBQr - your plight is not unheard of on this board! Keep plugging aways and soon, very soon, you'll pull the trigger. We're looking forward to pics of your KK's arrival and first cook. Welcome!

Oh no,

Thought I would try out my new 10 kg motor I had to unscrew the front plate for it to fit the socket is not as deep as the other one .chicken thighs with John Henry's summer peachreally like this can't wait to try it on some pork ribs Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Small BBQr, I hear you, that exchange is still a killer as it was a few ears ago but I decided to bite the bullet any way. I liked cooking on this grill so much that I ordered the second one a year later. The food just tastes so much better than cooking on a ceramic grill. I didn't think I would notice the difference but there is a world of difference and this grill will last and last and last with no cracking of the firebox etc., etc., etc. Life is good in Nova Scotia all year long.[emoji4]

While I am still a little away on the savings account, the 21" (beside being the PERFECT size for us smaller households) with the lower cost certainly makes the dream Kamado closer to a reality. If the Canada/US exchange rate was closer, I'd buy one now! Coming soon....

I have always been a big fan of 2 zone cooking. It was the reason I started my journey in kamado cooking with the oval shaped ceramic brand. However, I have to admit I stopped using the Jr. oval once I started cooking on the KK 19". Giving the Jr. to my son-in-law this spring. To my liking the 42" Serious Big Bad is two zone cooking on steroids. I will own one of those beauties in the near future. It will replace the oval XL, which will go to my neighbor & childhood friend. I have been drooling over the 42" ever since Dennis told me about it and sent some pictures. We are pouring a concrete pad and building a gazebo roof for it this summer (my buddy next door has really supportive ). Dang...........if my daughter had only eloped instead of having that big wedding.......I would be cooking on it today!!!!!!! However......I did get a great son-in-law out of the deal...........and the deal we made is.......that he can't give her back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is wonderful........................(also....congratulations 's on the ribs placing)

Major props

Jon's idea, "I really think you would benefit from seeing the 19 TT before you commit on a size. You would know first hand if a 19 is too big or small or just right." is what I was referring to.

Thanks guys. [emoji4] Tony, I don't mind repeats. I gave half the loaf to the woman that I get my farm fresh eggs from and I just received a call from her. Seems her family liked that bread and wonder if I would teach her how to do it. Sounds like fun to me. [emoji4]

I set out to make a 21" standing grill, exactly between the 23" and 19". I overbuilt it and the 22" grill was born as a mistake. The 22" is 22"+ left to right and 21" front to rear. The new 21" is actually 21" left to right and 20" front to rear. It does not sound like much difference but this grill will be much smaller as it will also have it's own base not use the 23" grill's rolling base. I'm hoping to be able to sell the new 21" somewhere around $3600 which was a great price point for the 23" about 8 years ago..

Awesome all the way round.

Very nice outcome and the ribs look fantastic.

Got her fired up and holding at 525. Temp control on these is amazing. Ill never own a BGE again I know that. Good thing for me is I only need to focus on front and lid where I replaced all the tiles.

Yes, I'm using the solid deflector, but over time, small amounts of ash make it to the door. It's a maintenance item for me to occasionally remove the door, clean the inside of the door and clean the frame itself with a wire brush. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

1 cup of red wine 1 cup brown sugar ¼ cup apple cider vinegar ¼ teaspoon allspice 1 can tomato sauce 3 tablespoons tomato paste Salt and Pepper to taste Place wine, brown sugar, vinegar, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and allspice in a saucepan. Simmer the sauce for at least 45 minutes and season to taste. The sauce should be rich and thick. Good for ribs! Garvin

Roasted some sunflower seeds today to add to the already roasted pumpkin seeds to make some sour dough bread. Can't wait to cut it. The crumb-

I forgot to include detailed rebuild cost Bought damaged - $250 Mandatory replacement parts plus shipping from over seas (tiles, acrylic grout, thermometer, guru port plug, gasket) - $534 Parts ordered didnt need (dual draft door, heat shield) - $169 Misc costs - $100 Total costs - $1053 I would say I have a good looking KK for slightly less than new

Got everything I wanted to get done today. I was able to fill in all the cracks. Got the gasket installed. Gave her a good wipe down and in the process noticed a few cracks that need to be filled and 2 tiles that had cracks in them that I didnt notice the first time around. Just going to leave those there as they are not noticeable. Called Dennis and he was able to walk me thru the adjustments to the front draft door to get it to sit flush. It is almost perfect. May need to tweak it a little more but not much. Here are the before and after shots. Been a long road but happy with the result. Burn in is set for Wed which means the first cook is a brisket next week. Before FINAL!!!
