Thank you, Would be great to meet up for an adult beverage. We are already getting excited about it - and certainly the thought of a trip is a great spirit lifter.

Give Dennis a call ASAP and find out if any that are in transit are orders that have been cancelled. That is how i got mine, i just got lucky that it was the same size and color that i wanted. And get tiles instead of pebbles, they cook better

Go gang-green!!

1) 23" or 32" 2) who cares! 3) some of us really like a good excuse for a road trip, the longer the better the stories... 4) is the kicker. If nothing turns up he just buys. One forgets the pain of purchase quickly. The joy of a good cooker is forever.

Luckily I’m not picky as I just want one! I hear what you’re saying though as far as availability. I’m going to reach out and start the process of ordering

You'll be extremely lucky (we're talking winning lottery ticket lucky) to find a used KK - 1) the size you want; 2) the color & tile style you want; 3) within a reasonable driving distance; and 4) up for sale in the next few months.

Indeed, Troble can point you in the right direction for great breweries in SD - there are plenty!

Sounds like a great idea to me. I can get you a hot list for breweries in San Diego and can certainly meet you for a beverage. That is a great deal nonstop from Heathrow to San Diego. We’ll done!

Johnny that is great looking chuck! I will post some pics on Sunday. Hear are some pics of my first few cooks.

I don't know if you have ordered yet @EggheadRalphbut I wanted to update. Here's the reason to buy a 42. Check out this real estate inside. I bought 2 pork butts. One that I'm doing as just pulled pork BBQ and the other I am doing "Tacos Al Pastor". The smaller chunk of shoulder is the remainder / the portion I'm not using for Al Pastor on the 2nd pork butt. Check out how much real estate this thing has. I opened the grill up to test the pan I want to use for Al Pastor tonight. The thing will fit in here lengthwise! And I've only used 2/3 of the room - I still have room to get all the way down to the firebox if I need to reload. Note I don't even have the lower grate on so I can just get directly to the firebox. Anyway, I'm personally glad I got the 42. Once all this lower temp stuff is done later, I'm going to put the lower grid right down above that fire and grill some chicken and vac seal for the week ahead. But in fact, I could grill at the same time as smoking if I wanted to (I just don't want to open the lid that often). Anyway - talk about versatility. The 42SBB is the ultimate in versatility and space. And it's an awesome smoker. Can't wait to taste the food tonight, the al pastor and the pulled pork! As far as the charcoal usage for this cook, I am using the basket splitter 50/50, charcoal only on the left side. I have only loaded it with about 8lbs and I don't think I'm going to have to add any. I burned so much my first weekend b/c I ran it at 500 a very long time. It's not 3x what your big green egg uses, it's more like 2x, and you get at least 5x the room. Amazing machine this thing is.

The volume of insulation/ wall thickness is the same in ALL models from 16-42". It will take a bit more BTU's to heat soak the walls, but from that point on they all burn very little charcoal to maintain low and slow temps.. To give you an idea.. A 23" with my dense coconut shell charcoal can go 85 hours at 235ºf on a single basket. The 42" with a much larger basket can go 215 hours at 235ºf on a single basket! The only time charcoal consumption is noticeable is when you are grilling at high temps and then the KK consumes charcoal at the same rate as every other grill.. but using the charcoal basket splitter helps to reduce consumption because you only need to light and use an appropriate volume for the meat you are cooking.. Crank it down and a 42" is suddenly cooking with the same volume as a 23" with splitter.. I've never heard of anybody commenting about charcoal consumption in a KK except when baking Napoleon pizzas at very high temps 800-900º.. these actually should be done with a baking steel at 450º will get the same leoparding on your crust.. much safer and less fuel..
