@Shuley - I have both the 19" TT (aka Beauty!) and the 32" BB (aka TheBeast). Moving Beauty is entirely manageable by one person. TheBeast, well that's another matter entirely. TheBeast is just a pork butt shy of 1,0000 pounds! You aren't going to moving a 32" by yourself. I've cooked only a few times on the 23" and it might be too much to move by yourself. Understand that each KK has great castors underneath and once you overcome the inertia of a few hundred pounds of concrete and stainless keeping it moving isn't much of a problem. Stopping all that moving mass could be probleNowmatic for a lady. Having a guy move a KK isn't much of a problem. I'm 6'1" and about 200#s and I have no real problems moving Beauty! at all. When I do move TheBeast, overcoming inertia is the biggest challenge. I've only moved TheBeast once since I got him. WE get hail storms and really sever weather that moves through here on a regular basis from March through November. All I do is keep the covers in place during those times. Moving my KKs isn't high on my list of priorities.
I, like you, live in a hot place during the summer months, Oklahoma City with day time highs routinely between 95 - 105. I always keep my KKs covered when not in use.
Now, let's talk how often do I cook on my kamados. Shuley, I cook most evenings on my kamados. Its gotten to the point that the only evenings I don't cook on my KKs is when I'm out for dinner. You know how I always welcome new member with "Welcome to Komodo Kamado and welcome to The Obsession!" There is a reason for The Obsession part ... I"m obsessed with trying something new, innovative, and trying to out do myself. I, and my guests, absolutely love the food from Beauty! and TheBeast. The best and most versatile cookers I have sit on my patio. I've got some kind of high dollar oven sitting in my kitchen and about the only reason I turn it on is for keeping things warm. MY KKs are at once roasters, smokers, braisers, smokers, low-n-slow, and grills. No other single thing I have is that versatile. It never gets old and I've been cooking on kamados over 20 years spanning 3 decades. And it just keeps getting better.
I wish you well on your journey to owning a KK no matter which size you and your family chose!
