^ Thank you...that makes sense about the creosote source! I think that was the last of my potential objections...now on to deciding what color and giddy up!

Re: Buying decision help requested!

Ok...one more KK question. My smoker was apart of a built in island that went with the house we sold. Anyone that smokes knows the innards get pretty thick and crusty...at least that's the way steel smokers get. Not sure I want everything grilled tasting like leftover smoke from the smoker...

So how is it with the KK?

Re: Buying decision help requested!

Thanks for the replies. As most, I want to have my cake and eat it too...just want to be sure the KK is quick-convenient for weekday, afterwork (read: tired!) short grill sessions.

For every other type of outdoor cooking I do when time permits (ala weekends/holidays) including smoking, roti, sear, reverse-sear, pizzas, etc., it certainly looks like the KK can do it with the best of them or better.

We recently moved to a new town. Previously I had relied upon a BBQ island I built that included a 42" Dynasty gas grill, Cookshack smoker, etc.

I think I've narrowed my choice for a new BBQ to either the KK or a 30" Fire Magic. While I understand the benefits of low and slow on the KK I'm concerned about how easily and quickly the KK can be ready to grill, say, a chicken breast, small steak, etc., for a quick after work dinner. And curious about 'zonal'/indirect cooking on the KK.

When a good sear is desired how is it to reach down in the belly of the KK with 600 degrees of heat blasting up at you?

I used our former Dynasty an average of 5-days/evenings a week. Also I frequently roast peppers & tomatoes...

Interested in hearing all your relative comments and thank you in advance!
