Which brings up another problem. I wear hearing aids. Time for an upgrade. C6Bill I hate to say it but I've never shoveled snow. They don't sell snow shovels anywhere in the state. Tyrus Never fear, Dennis will sell you another one if you say please.

Sorry poochie, what did you say about wind chill ? I couldn’t keep up with the thread as I had to go out and shovel some snow 🤬 And always remember, pebbles are nothing but broken tiles, ones not good enough to make the cut 😁

Yeah, probably should get a hearing aid

You could have helped them more Tony if you wouldn't have been holding a beer.

Thanks johnny. Tony, 26 wind chill is cold in Louisiana...especially in the south. But I froze for a good cause. The KK is now officially "vented" and it'll be ready to cook some kind of animal tomorrow. The new "tool-less" rotisserie cradle is very nice. The whole thing is very impressive. And using it today made me remember something MacKenzie said a few times. Pebbles rule. I know I won't get any lip on that either. I'm really excited about cooking something tomorrow and Sunday. After moving everything and putting the lid on I told the delivery dude that I was feeling it in my back. He must have thought I was a delivery person or an 18 wheeler driver because it sounded like he called me an old trucker. My hearing ain't too good either.

I didn't take photos because it was one delivery dude and me hauling stuff. It came in two crates because the lid was in its own crate. The dude unbolted one crate while I undid the other. This was done so he could help me put the lid on. He was a real big help so I greased his palm generously. Well...I had to...he didn't have change for a dollar. Anyway, he leaves happy and now I get to put everything together, which I love to do. New style basket splitter, new style rotisserie basket...all good surprises today. Two boxes of coffee char thrown in for the fun of it. The build quality can't be beat and I look forward to "burning it in" tomorrow. If any of you fret about rolling the smoker off the pallet...don't. This is my second one but it was just as easy as the first one. The pallet is CLEARLY marked with a sticker at the bottom that essentially says "roll the sucker off on this side." See? You can't mess up. There are two bolts by each leg at the bottom that you remove first thing. Then you lift the crate off. Super easy. And last but not least, the top of the pallet is the ramp you use to roll the smoker off the pallet. Aunt Bee could do it. As most people already know, Dennis is a top notch guy to deal with. He'll do anything within reason to keep a customer happy. Dennis never gets tired of talking to potential buyers or owner that don't understand something. If any of you are on the fence about buying one of these cookers, you can't really imagine how over-engineered and heavy duty every part of this smoker is. Spend the money, cry once and then you'll have something to give the grandkids one day. They're probably spoiled brats anyway. Some of these photos are grates and heat deflectors in a cabinet I have in my shop. The dog is more spoiled than the grandkids.

I was pushing from below with my back into it, so my hands stayed free!

Just for the sake of mentioning it. Have you ever seen a roofer that has to carry bundles up to the roof? Generally on his back, however once in a while I see a motorized attachment on the ladder with two arms and a number of bundles are placed on there and sent up. The weight capacity is a mystery, but it does occupy less space than a scissor jack and may be an alternative.

Boooo! Well, however you get it up there, it will be worth the effort. That is a fact!

Lol, he couldn't break a Dolla. The long wait is over, hope you poured yourself a cold one and sat back to admire it. A thing of beauty, congrats

At the rate I’m going I have enough of Dennis’s charcoal to last me a lifetime! LOL I’m sad to say I haven’t done any grill ot cooking in a long time😩

That was a lot of snow to move this past weekend 😵‍💫 I have to do the back yard too lol

I used to think traditionally about grilling steaks until I bought "Charred & Scruffed" written by Adam Perry Lang. Unless a guest wants their steak, chop done on the grill (or they, eck, want it well done) I drop them directly onto the white-hot coals. I get super crusty goodness, perfect sear and doneness (med-rare to rare). The fat gets rendered wonderfully.

You guys are making my brain hurt worse than a Syzergies dissertation! It's just BBQ, not Rocket Science!
