Tucker

Excellent, pics please

Looks great Tom, especially in the sunlight.

Yeah, working on that. Have been busy replacing florescent fixtures in the workshop w/ LED and installing an exhaust fan.

Sunday afternoon cooking Turkey tenderloin and split chicken breast on the new 23" Pebble.

My 19.5 was able to handle it, the 23 easily handles it, i have had up to a 24# bird on the 23"

Not sure which looks better, the KK or that hunk of pork Great color I'll try to give guidance on your Q's. What side of the heat deflector goes down? One side is smoother than the other. I have to leave this to others who have opened a heat deflector from a newer grill, I gave the one that came with mine to Tom because I ordered a shaped drip pan and use it for heat deflector. How to you get the side tables on correctly? Sorry, have to defer this one also, I do not own side wing tables. How do you get the bottom door open to pull the tape off of it The front door just pulls out. You will love cooking on this.

Very nice color

Welcome and congratulations! Let the journey begin..

Yeah, I missed that. I suppose it was too obvious for me , doh!

BTW, is you cottage on the St Lawrence? Cousins have several places outside of Clayton, directly on the river, many a fond memory for me up there in the summer, and one winter.

Very interesting, and validating for those of us that have not owned anything other than a KK. you can see the difference easily. thanks for sharing

remember, the entire top of the crate comes off after removing the 8 lags in the bottom corners. you only have to remove the wooden blocks from in front of the front wheels to roll it off the pallet

We did not use the ramp the Uhaul utility trailer came with, it is far too steep and made of stretched steel which will grab the casters. Also the trailer bed is ribbed which will mess with the casters also. We put it down, and I built a wood ramp out of 1/2" plywood and 2"x 4"s as ribs. 2 sheets 1/2" plywood 4" x 8'- 1 for ramp, 1 for bed of trailer; both full sheets, uncut. 3 - 2"x 4" , used for runners, cut at angles to lay against the angle of the ramp and ground. 2 - 2" x 4" , used for ribs, cut to size - this is imperative to add strength to the ramp. see first pic, that is the bottom of the ramp.

2009 19.5" harvest gold pebble 2018 23" harvest gold pebble 2010 23" coral-grey chevron I found that having the two 23" grills allowed some more flexibility for the cooks we do for larger groups. 1 for low, 1 for dogs burgers, steaks, keeping the 19.5 for side, etc.

Cheers & congrats! I am not going to mention the weather I have to put up with while breaking in big bro Pebble Um, where are your pics of the crated evidence?

Stony got a big brother. 23" Pebble

Yesterday was the day. My new 23" pebble arrived and we packed up the 23" Dark Autumn Nebula for the trip to Tom's house. Re-used all of the packaging that the new grill came with, even the shrink wrap (I took it off, rolling it onto a 2x3). Made an 8' wood ramp to ease the move into the trailer, used another piece of 1/2" ply to lay on the trailer floor (because of the ribbing). Screwed the ramp to the crate for added stability and ease of transport. Covered with a tarp in the event of rain. from start of unpacking the new grill to stop of loading the 23" Nebula; approximately 4.25 hrs.

how about you leverage the crate into a table? You can add casters to it, etc. be pretty cool, I'd think

Great news. quite quick as well. - congrats - !! I am still sitting on my hands waiting.. my shipment left CA on the 26th and the shipper 'thinks' it should be in FL 'maybe' tomorrow. Lovely when the shipping company is as useless as a ^!^ on a bull. +++update+++ my delivery is set for tomorrow am

As punishment for your lack of attention to the steaks, you can bottle some of that peppercorn sauce and send it over. The steaks look fantastic, great job!

That's allot of butts each week! Sure you aren't that doctor Kramer spoke of on a Seinfeld episode?

Since 2007 with first one , til now with all the others. Top vent open 1/8 turn, bottom vents closed, lid closed all the way, and covered.

Scotte, Remember - no pics = it never happened lots of pics, we love to live thru others
