Friday night and the NFL Draft is in Kansas City. Time for Shrimp Tacos with Chipotle Aioli.

Hello gang, Just placed our order for a 22" Beast. This will be going into a new BBQ island being constructed in our new home in Nampa, Idaho (Recent California escapee). Ordered the Cobalt Blue tile Beast, along with a few accessories. I have been lurking on here for a little while before ordering but hope to start participating soon. A little about me, I have been Q'ing for many years, for home, parties, some catering, and Competitions. Started doing Comps in 2004. Was a Board Member of the CBBQA for quite a few years. I think I saw my first KK around 2008 or so, when a friend brought his KK to a Chris Lilly class that we (CBBQA) were putting on. Since then, I have always wanted one. Most recently, I have been competing in SCA Steak Comps. In addition to the KK, some of my current stable includes a Klose Family Reunion trailered pit, a Humphrey's Qubed Pint, a MGrills M16, Oklahoma Joes Rambler, 22" Weber Performer, 22" Weber Master-Touch, 18" WSM, and a few others. The Island will have the KK along with a 40" Blaze gasser. Looking forward to learning a lot from all of you. Bill

ScotchBrite pads work well to clean the temperature probes.

Thanks Tyrus. Both my wife and I were born and raised in CA, so it was very hard to leave. And the area we lived in (Ventura County) is beautiful and a great place to live. But we do not see the State as a whole getting better anytime soon. Been up here in ID for a little over a year now, and just love it. Similar to where we were at, surrounded by farmland and mountains. It is a beautiful state. I choose the KK for two reasons, looks and performance. Now that we are living in an area that is a bit colder than before, the extra insulation of the KK is a big plus. The Humphreys that I have is similar, it hardly notices the cold weather.

I clean my thermometer every now and then. they do tend to get covered up in gunk

Sounds like you’re the one to share some experience! Welcome, and I know you’re going to love your new KK. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
