  1. I'm a former Primo user and loved the shape too. The KK is similar in shape so I don't think you will miss that and you certainly won't miss not having to replace the firebox. The other great news is that whatever you cook on the KK will taste even better, no kidding. I don't have a 32 let alone the 42 but if my ship were to come in I'd go for the 32 but that all depends upon the amount of food that you will be doing at a time. Whatever you decide I'm sure you are going to love cooking on the KK, it has been a wonderful experience for me.:mrgreen: 👍👍

    I wouldn't sweat the charcoal issue, you will find your sweet spot over time.  I close my lid straight away after lighting and remember dire warnings of messing up my gasket (or burning my hands) when I first joined the forum and was told not to leave the lid up with a fire going. 

     

    Totally agree with Tekobo.

     

  3. @MsTwiggy Welcome, great looking KK and those cooks look wonderful. :smt060 I would fill up the basket with lump. After the cook is done and you shut the vents down the fire soon goes out and you will have lump left for your next cook. You will just need to stir it up and top it off with more lump. Remember once the cook is done and the fire is out set the lid clasp so that the dome is not squishing your gasket. There are two settings for the dome one is tight for the cook and the other for resting between cooks. It relieves the pressure on the gasket which will make the gasket last a lot longer.

    The 16 doesn't really have a separate upper grate.  Others turn the lower grate upside down on top of the main grate. It's not a very stable arrangement and it's pretty confined.  I was going to bug Dennis about making something but there is not much point if others don't see the point, hence my question.  I am back in the UK now and so can't pop out to take a photo to illustrate the problem.  I'm not sad about that, given how cold it's been out!

    I usually have to put a rolled up ball of aluminum foil or two to keep it stable when I'm using it above the main grill.
