I bet you wern't getting no smooches from Sai that night!!

Your all wrong it was Over Thetop Built!!

Dennis heats up the cookers before they ship to get the moisture out, plus I don't think the new elastomeric grout has any problems with moisture. I live in Georgia and don't worry about the rain. Never heard of any issues arrising from rain either. I've done several cooks under an umbrella.

I use a grill floss as well and changing the grill configuration would make it harder to clean IMHO rather than easier. For the grills floss to work best I find I need to scrap from two directions. Scrap the grate from one side and then flip 180 and do it from the other side. If the grates run 12 to 6 this becomes impossible because of the lid. I say leave it alone.

I too use the grill floss in this fashion and would be disappointed if I could not use in both directions. Then again my grill will last long past my lifetime however I do believe there will be others that will be disappointed too. I subscribe to the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" theory.

Dennis, what do the knock down type look like inside?

How long had the burner been sitting since the last time you used it? I have a turkey fryer that sits outside and I only use it once or twice a year and I have found that some times cobwebs dirt etc get into the lines. I typically blow them out with compressed air before I use it. Just a thought...???

I had this same problem, trying to figure out what the best way is to turn on and off. I have the addition of the adjustable regulator and have found so far that the best way is to us the adjustable regulator as my on off at the tank and open the burner valve first then the regulator valve. I was thinking that if you don't have the adjustabe regulator the best way would be to open the burner valve then the tank valve and when shutting down close the tank valve then burner valve. Damn safety mechanisms!!

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into making us the best cooker possible. We appreciate it every time we fire up our KK's.

So are you actually going to cook on that one or is it just an ornament for your entrance???

Keep em in, that is what they are for. Made of high temp silicone so no worries. Cook on.

Yeah, however the link goes to one that is not adjustable and states that in needs to be connected to a burner that already has a needle valve. The one that is adjustable is exactly the same the top just turns to adjust it. Here is a link to one http://www.meijer.com/s/king-kooker-high-pressure-adjustable-regulator-and-lp-hose-female/_/R-140886?cmpid=goobase&CAWELAID=418090671

or this one:

or this one which you would also have to buy a hose for:

There are many others but you get the point.

This one is nice especially with the SS braided tube however I actually recomend an adjustable regulator so you can adjust the temps. I got a similiar one to this except adjustable at HD.

Wouldn't you be better off buying the folding tables and then just folding them down?? Cover should easily fit over the folded down tables even if there were two?? John??

Yeah, its been tweeked since I posted that comment.

I've been noticing it in the 10lbs, thats all my store carries. They are pretty cool looking rocks.

Yup, every time I cook and clean out the lump saver I find a couple pieces. A few more when I clean out the bottom. I was curious about this also. Not sure what to do or if its even a problem, just odd that it is happening more often.

Dennis, I use the paraffin cubes as a back up to my propane in case it goes empty on me. I have never had trouble getting a good fire going with those and I don't even use a hair dryer, just open up all the dampers.

Very nice!! Two observations, there is no way to get back to the home page from the sublinks and there is no link to the forum. Im sure these are features that are in the works but just in case.

You can check out my post here to get a little feedback.

Ok, if he or you need any help just let me know.

Ok, to finish off this thread just in case anyone is reading, I did a pizza last night and reached 600 degrees with the new gas burner. Thats plenty for me so I am happy.

New Setup

Ok, just got my new burner. Got it attached and did a test. Just a couple of things to be sure to check. Make sure the tube, valve and all fittings are free of debris. When I first attached it the flame was very yellow so I started checking things out and found that some of the packing material had gotten in the tube. Took it apart and blasted it with some compressed air, reinstalled and then got a real nice blue flame. Also some of the fittings did not have pipe dope on them, did a quick check with a lighter and sure enough they were leaking. Took it apart, applied pipe dope and tightened down more (thats why valve is upside down). After that was all done I took these pictures. Didn't have time to test in the cooker however my initial thoughts are that this flame is a little weaker however is a nicer blue flame, hopefully that will equate to just as much heat. I like the new valve that comes with these. Still did the same setup with the quick connect as previously shown.

How much smoke wood are you using and for how long? Seems like you would need an awful lot to create that much tar. Never noticed this on any cooks I have done.

Well this is temporary while I wait for my new burner however I will do the same thing with my new burner it will just be attached to the gas door. I just used a pressure washer quick connect attached to the venturi tube (or whatever). The key is to use a 10psi adjustable regulator. Everything can be bought at Home Depot. Works like a charm. I'll submit some pictures of the flame once I get the new setup. Its a nice blue flame with yellow at the top when opened up.

I'll chime in here..

Gas I always try to steer people way from it.. First of all it lights too much charcoal for anything other than high temp cooks or searing. Is a big cast iron burner that lights the whole bottom of the charcoal basket when you only need about a tennis ball worth of charcoal for 235º And for low and slow, it's best to light from the top and have your burn travel down into the fuel as opposed to from the bottom and having the new fuel tumble down into it as the charcoal is burned up.

But if you want to come home and grill in minutes it works very well. Tony uses a 10psi regulator and bakes pizza with his at 650º

Just did my first cook with gas on my new KK, its Friday night pizza night. Have to say the new cooker is much more efficient than the old one. Reached 500 deg. very easily and only had the adjustable regulator like half way and I was using the old burner just laying inside the grill while I wait for my new gas option to arrive. I think I could easily reach 800-900 with this setup, anyway pizza turned out great as usual using the gas. Dont fear the gas it is very useful for quick easy cooks and for lighting charcoal. I actually pulled off the valve that comes with the gas option and used a quick connect to connect the hose to the tube. With the valve on the cylinder and the adjustable regulator no need for another valve. Used quick connect for easy removal and to use it for my turkey fryer burner also.
