I added (with help from a few friends of course) a 14' x 24' extension to my existing 12' x 24' workshop. This gives, me a full 12' x 24' inside space for woodworking, all of my lumber and raw materials are in the new section along w/ lawn tractor and other assorted lawn things. Half is a deck, so I can roll my machines outside to work when the weather is nice. I used a brilliant metal spike collar holder for the 6" x 6" posts, as good as concrete with the benefit of not having to dig holes. Just need to do a new ramp to the extension (pile of wood on deck), then it will be done.

to roll one of these cookers, you do not use 2"x 4" boards. you would use plywood. for a 32, I would use 3/4" thick plywood. it comes in 4 feet x 8 feet sheets. you will need two sheets. put one in front of the crate, at the ramps edge (ramp is part of the crate). roll cooker onto plywood. put 2nd sheet of plywood at far edge of 1st sheet of plywood. roll cooker over onto 2nd sheet of plywood. move 1st sheet to far edge of 2nd sheet and repeat the roll and move plywood sheet process until you arrive at your desired destination. if you are moving uphill with the leap-frog plywood sheet process, you should have two, or more, wedges to place behind each caster to prevent it from rolling backward when you stop actively pushing it uphill. with the 32" cooker, I would definitely enroll the assistance of two folks who are capable of pushing the 900+# beast CAREFULLY. you cannot man handle this. And definitely do NOT pull it by the lid handle.

And, the smaller cookers like that came with those pallet type 'legs'. It has wheels so it rolls.

That is a 5 posk If it is $100 it is worth a toss, any more, do something else

The front-to-back measurement is important so you ensure the lid does not hit anything when you open it. The middle is 31" front-to-back. The lid, when open is 37" front-to-back.

A note from a hard learned lesson. Don't forget the width of the feet, they are at 30" where the middle of the cooker is 26".

how long is the one you have?

Adding to the comments already posted regarding use and fuel. We use our two KK's each week. I load them up w/ charcoal (lump or extruded) and by doing small cooks (chicken, dogs, burgers, salmon, etc) on either cooker I can make one load of charcoal last upwards of 5-6 cooks.

setup half low grates, half high grates start on the low grates at hi temp then once seared, move to the high grate for a dwell to temp

I've had several different color combos, one constant is the 19.5" in autumn gold pebble. Loved so much I got rid of the others and got a 23" gold pebble. I would choose the first pair, gold flake, autumn nebula Good luck

My 2 cents regarding the cradle versus spit topic. Spit. I own a cradle for the 23" and 19.5"; i hate them, too many parts to clean, difficult to manage. I stopped using the roti for that one reason.

your space looks wonderful and inviting. tile back splash behind the Argentine grill is a great touch. really like the table between the two KK's, great idea. lotsa good cookin' gonna happen there!

I have used both at different times. the charcoal, for me, is a bit more predictable.

Getting used to it, finding that the fire does not need to be large at all to create a good temp. lighting is kinda simple, build a small log cabin of kindling with newspaper in it. love the modular grates, 3/8" round, v shaped argentine, and flat top. it takes care of large volume cooks and the flat top is beautiful for scallops. we reduced to two KK's, finding the 19.5" handles many day-to day, while the 23" handles large smoking tasks.

Updated now that I am back to 2 kk and a santa Maria grill

Wow, that looks fantastic! great job.

It will depend upon the size of the brisket. You can find the dimensions of the 19" table top grill here: https://komodokamado.com/collections/19-lil-isla-table-top/products/19-hi-cap-table-top-cad-drawing#gallery-2 A similar page is in each of the different grill pages.

Hey! Where'd the legs go?! 🤯 confgrats!, nice looking color

For low-n-slow, i use BBQGURU digiQ that i purchased years ago, still does what I need. For temp monitoring on hot / fast cooks I use thermoworks 'thermpro' For instant temp check i use thermoworks instant read thermometer. There are several other quality products with many more features taht have been brought to market since i bought my items.

The crate should have a sticker on one side at the bottom that reads "Important place supplied ramp on this side only". white background, black lettering, red arrow pointing downward.

👍👍

Looks great, love the woodwork. and...... you got the right tiles, pebble

Winner, Winner, chicken dinner, up top or down below, which way to go? (great observation CKreef!)

If you have a sharp enough special pencil, you cold draw it up there and when ready draw it back down with no effort 🙄. i guess another facet would be, where do you entertain? up or down?

firebox does not weigh much; i'd leave it in. remove everything else. I would create ramps to go up/down from the deck. make them as long as possible so you reduce the severity of the slope.
