That is very nice - both the grill and cabinetry. Now, the wait begins to see the ODK.

very cool to experience the post-productive use of a factory. i had the oppty to do that with a defunct dairy years ago

Tyrus, I am very familiar with crucibles;) In my youth I worked at Inductotherm Corp (https://inductotherm.com/) making heat induction coils for various applications, some ranging as large as 25' high, 10' diameter to go around large crucibles. I was just reacting to the pictures w/o a forethought to purpose; just initial gut reaction. Anything you make out of it will be a great conversation piece for sure; looking forward to seeing what you arrive at!

Good luck w/ Dorian he passed east of us thankfully, nothing more than a t-storm 'lite'

You could make a water feature out of it. Use it as the centerpiece w/ water running out of the spout

Hey LK 1. I use the lower grate with a fire that registers 450-500 on the dome thermometer before I open the lid. I cook them with the lid up. 2. I have not used my rotisserie in years. I usually spatchcock. 3. Yes, definitely use a drip pan. I line my drip pan with HD foil for easier clean up.

The "box" is a plywood box that goes under the cooker to alleviate the pressure on the legs when transporting. See below, directly below the draft door location under to cooker. I have made one of these before by measuring under the cooker. Dennis has the measurements on this forum (cannot recall where tho). My recommendation would be to not ship any of these cookers without that block under it. I'd recommend to have a 3/4" plywood base made, put chocks into it for the rear wheels, place the platform into the moving vehicle, trailer, roll the cooker onto it, place the block under it and chock the front wheels, then secure the cooker to a wall w/ appropriate padding.

I have also done the direct on the coals / caveman style with a ribeye. definitely not for a filet, you need some fat in it to protect the meat tissue. I loved it, super crunchy and perfectly done inside.

I have ordered from in-stock. Each took about 2 weeks to get from CA.

Looks rib-stickin good

Lemisfits I always break my extruded into halfs or thirds and stand them upright so all holes in center are vertical. When re-using a basket of previously burnt lump, I dump it onto a unopened plastic trash bag (as a drop cloth) and pick out the bigger pieces to re-use. this has always worked very well for me doing all ranges of temps.

Do you have a picture showing the entire cooker?

CKReef - aren't you just north of Jacksonville FL in southern GA?

Thx Mac, the approach makes more sense now that I understand you have the larger portion of the solution.

If I read the Thermoworks site correctly, you have to have both the Billows™ BBQ Temperature Control Fan and the Signals™ 4-Channel Wi-Fi/Bluetooth BBQ Alarm Thermometer. Then you have to figure out how to make it work since Thermoworks had not done any investigation into the inter-operability with the KK brand. There are other wifi, blu tooth systems out there that arae already compatible with the KK. What is the difference of the TW device that makes it attractive?

good luck w/ that brother no cash, no mas

If it is a politician, cash only, do not take a check from one of "those" people.

Looks great, alot of fun. btw, have you ever seen Monty Pythons Meaning of Life? "the salmon mousse" ~5:20

I bought a lightly used 23" 5yrs old for $3,000. no cover, no drip pan, no upper rack, no stone. warming grate was not invented at that time. I am selling a different 23" for $3,500 OBO which has all the grates and drip pans with it along with a new cover and updated front draft door. with what you have there, maybe $4,500?

WTH is that?! A brontosaurus steak?

Bump - This one is still available.

Very nice. Scary looking ramp to navigate; glad it went well. Hope your deck has alot of structure under that big boy.

Very Nice!! Is your other grill called Mothra?

I also think the 44# bag would be ok. Fogo is 35#; it is packaged in what appears to be a cross breed of poly/paper.

Looks fantastic! what is the brand of the CI pan?
