  3. Truck driver called around 1015 am and said he would be here in an hour. I'm bursting with anticipation. I can't decide if 1 hour notice is cruel or kind.... It's here!!! Unloading. I tipped the driver well and he delivered to my backyard... but he says his hand trucks won't get it up the ledge onto my patio. Oh well. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. First I have to remove all of the boxes from on top of the crate. And yay!! Dennis included The rotisserie basket and reducers that I had asked for even though they were sold out! Impeccable service from the get-go! All the boxes are moved and my dad came over to help lift the crate off the pallet base. A little bit of work and we managed to get it off the base. Now, we have to tackle that problem of the patio ledge. Unthinking, I forgot to take off the pounds of stainless steel out of the inside, I also have not taken the lid off. Needless to say, the two of us for not getting over that ledge. Decision made. Going to have to take the top off. A little bit of work, but I'll chalk it up to getting to know my new grill. The top is off, all the stainless steel is out, it was quite a bit of effort, but we were able to get it over the ledge. We repurposed the ramp and made good use of it. Now it looks like my grill exploded in my yard. Lid back on, grates loaded. She is complete and in place. Now time for the burn in and first cook. Full basket of charcoal. I've lit it in two spots and I'm slowly letting it come up to temperature. As it gets there, I'm going to enjoy a few cold beverages. After the initial burn in, going to do some steaks for the parents later on. Will post pics then.

  6. Took some pixs this morning of what's happening in my garden. Seeds that were thrown out over the winter have come to like in the compost pile. These are free range squash. The bees were busy in my cultivated squash collecting pollen. This one is having a pollen bath. The wild ground cherries starting to fruit. This one is among my blossoming oregano. I have already taken off enough to get 3 large jars of dried oregano. The potato plant has little potatoes forming under the plant which is in blossom. The parsley is nice and green. That is some of the things that I took pixs of this morning. Nice way to start the day.

  7. Kokanee on the Komodo Kamado just sounds like they go together A good friend gave me some wild Kokanee from a nearby Sierra lake and they are incredibly delicious. For those not familiar with Kokanee, they are fresh water/land locked Sockeye Salmon. I did a simple roast on the Twenty-Three tonight with Meyer Lemon slices, EVO & butter and just salt & fresh pepper along with a foil pouch of golden beets...over coco-char and lump oak.

  8. Burn in process is nerve-racking. Dennis keeps saying don't worry, I'm trying not to worry. Lots of bubbling at 525. Held there for 2 1/2 hours. Smell is gone. Slowly climbing to 700. Lost a tile. Poked a few holes in the underlying grout and pushed it back in place. Going to put food on soon.

  9. After unpacking everything and taking stock of all the components, it is really remarkable just how well made this thing is. I know it's been said before, but every single piece feels like it's a heavy duty component manufactured to the highest standards. It is just so solid. Not to mention enormous. Interestingly, the draft door controllers have changed from the diagrams that I saw. I now have to draft doors, one is a half moon shape with different notches marking different spots. The other is a series of different size to concentric circles. Very interesting and likely quite useful.
