Evening All, I’ve been on www journey over the last 12 months looking for that perfect upgrade from my gas Webber Q! I looked at everything but found myself coming back to the KK. I was yet another person tossing up the 23 or the 32 - in the end I couldn’t escape the lure of the Big Bad. This is a quick note to thank all the posters on the forum, and of course the very patient Dennis for all this information. The KK is on the ship, due in 4 weeks so I’ll be sure post some pics once we eventually crane the behemoth 11 meters up onto the new terrace. Regards John

And the journey begins...

That's an odd place to keep your BS? Oh, wait, you meant Baking Steel!!

Worked for me! When it came time to add the 32 to my 23, my wife looked at me in that way only a spouse can (penetrating to the depths of your soul...yup...she sees right through me) and asked, “is there a bigger one?” To which I replied, “well yeah...but it’s huge. And it comes with a goat. Too expensive and we already have a goat.” Worked like a charm.

T-minus 4 hours and 50 minutes or so but who’s counting

@MacKenzie I believe it was your recommendation for me to get one and I am looking forward to smash burgers on it! @Pequod have you made any bread on one of these?

My BS tries following me home from work

Loving that stat! I am still very happy with my choice but one day, when I win the lottery, I will buy a 42" and will hopefully have enough money left over to buy a house with garden big enough to house it.

I’d be shocked if it didn’t fit, but good to check. I routinely do two 14” pizzas side by side in my 32, so that steel should fit nicely on any level. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my 32?

Wow everything has spun from the get go for me. Give it some wb 40 and push the rod in a few times until it feels loose Outback kamado Bar and Grill

Loving all these cooks .was speaking with Dennis the other day and he metioned for the first time the 32 was out selling the 23 because of the 42..look honey I'm not getting the biggest one lol Outback kamado Bar and Grill

I have notice @Pequodabout how much stainless chain for baking bread in a 32”?

If you didn’t you wouldn’t be getting a KK! KK’s are for the “special” people...

Yeah they do. It’s a pretty serious oven. They sourced some recycled old school firebricks. There’s cement, 2layers of fire insulation and more cement. I actually have a picture somewhere of my father in law inside the oven building it. You can fit 2 adults in there. Reminds me to be good to the wife, as I don’t want to end up in there with a roaring fire.... To make the pizzas, they heat soak it for hour and a bit. Then they scrape out all the burnt wood and ashes. They mop the floor before putting in the pizzas or bread. It will stay warm for several hours. It’s not sealed like the KK but does retain heat for quite sometime. It’s still warm in the morning after an evening cook. I think it more to do with the retention of heat in the bricks and cement. They do roasts, lasagne, turkey and all other sorts. We have Christmas there and they will fire this up on Christmas Day for lunch. A roaring fire on 40 degree Celsius days.... not quite the cold Christmas’s you guys have. The salamis are good fun. It’s a early morning start cutting up the meat. We have had to change up the recipe over the years. We do much less salt nowadays. We put in fennel seeds, chilli and other herbs and spices. It hangs like that for weeks. We also make fresh sausages as well. Homemade is always great! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
