I know.........No pictures……………………so it never happened Still need to share...................I cooked the best ever tri-tip on the 16 KK last night. It was fantastic. Everything came together. Nice marbled 2.4 lb./1.09 kg. roast, dry brined for 3 hours in the refrigerator, spiced perfectly after rinsing, cooked in the heat soaked 16 KK at 260*F/138*C to 115*F/45*C internal with a kiss of cherry wood smoke, then reversed seared, sliced against the grain……………it was heaven on earth. Previous results were not really good and I was about ready to give up on tri tips…………now the home-girls will be requesting them!!! The pressure will be on to duplicate the results, yikes!!!!!!!! I have not told any of my family members or Redhead Sue about the new KK………they threatened an intervention if I bought another grill Snuck it home Tuesday afternoon and have it hidden in the garage. None of them have come down while I was cooking the last two nights. Figure I better cook them a bunch of really good food before they find out, so I can tell them the new grill made the difference and so they don’t put me into the loony ward!!! At family gatherings, they used to argue between themselves (in fun) about who would get specific items from my Mom’s jewelry collection………now they argue about which grill they want after I croak. I figure getting the 16 KK will help give the vultures more to fight over….HA!!!! The tru-tell thermometer was lost during shipment. I filed a claim yesterday and actually received a phone call from the carrier this morning. The nice lady has all the terminal staff from California to New York running around looking for a 7” x 3” x 3” / 18cm x 8cm x 8cm carton. Told her that the replacement was only about $50 and it might be a heck of a lot cheaper to just buy one them instead of spending all the labor looking for it. Will be interesting to see what happens. It did look something like this..............................

Quick! Paint the new kk green! They will praise you for your thriftiness. Tritips are right there at the top for me. I'm sure it was tasty despite the lack of any credible evidence.

Sneaky! The old "hide in plain sight in the garage" technique... Seriously, these 16" KKs are amazing cookers.

The new 16" KK has arrived in Syracuse. Missing one box with the Tel-Tru thermometer but the crate/cooker and coconut charcoal are in good shape. Loaded on the trailer and ready to go home tonight. Have a small wheeled cart ready to load it on and planning a nice cook for tonight to break it in (hoping my thermometer from the 19" TT will fit in the 16" hole). Picked up a couple nice stuffed pork tenderloins from Wegman's to make the inaugural cook easy but tasty. Will take uncrating and cooking photos and post tomorrow. Too much fun!!

Hi Jon....Congrats on the unit. I bet the TriTip was amazing

The Joe Jr. is a great little cooker. Going to cook some steaks for company this weekend. Doing low & slow on the 16 KK and then using the Jr. for the reverse sear. Will take a picture of the two cookers side by side and send it to you. The difference is crazy.

Still saving for that bad boy......................need to build an outdoor kitchen at the cottage with a concrete pad first..........don't believe the deck will support the 42. These two beauties will stay in Syracuse............until I retire in about 100 years

Cheers Steve. These were cooked without smoke wood .I have none left. Need to stock up . Still got a nice smoke ring Outback Kamado Bar and Grill

Don't forget to take a pix when you get that sign mounted, we'd love to see it.:)

Game on!

The new kk looks great! I kept my KK sign too. It will be mounted soon on the ODK.

At least I got some of the letters correct.

Tucker.......I did reattach the crate top to the bottom pallet and put it on a low furniture dolly. Used it last night as my cooking table . Only problem is that it takes up a ton of room in the garage. The crate has 3 KK signs on it. Going to keep one....anyone out there like to have one of the others???

Great looking ribs!

I agree Mac Aussie is the rib mistro and Dee is the queen of dalads. Yummy looking meal Aussie

Tough choosing between the road kill and beers so I'll just go with both. Nice spreads!

Mouth watering pix.

It was crazy windy. Just like here today (I'm back home). Actually spent 2 great days visiting 4 breweries and a taproom. Had a number of very good beers. Jailbreak Brewery had a couple of very tasty beers - a saison finished in a red wine barrel on cask, and a Berliner Weiss with pineapple and coconut.
