I never get much Birthday recognition any more so you should bath in the celebrity status and wishing you a great one!

Congrats on the KK! Funny I was just making a few shouts on the forum regarding the rotisserie....sorry to hear the motor kind of konked out. On my end (KK 23) I just got my "missing parts" for the rotisserie basket that never were sent to me such as the mounting bracket, shafts and springs. What a tease.....I did buy th One Grill motor though and today I was attempting to get this thing up and running but having big problems. For starters the mounting bracket will not align with the hole (too high)...also not sure of the rest of the assembly regarding the springs and shafts. Anyhow if you feel you can pass on any advice to me I would appreciate the help as I am brand new to the KK world as well. Again all the best with yours and many happy cooks.

Finally tried out the Guru and was pretty impressed how well it worked and easy install. Nice to have it plug & play ready. Not sure if I mentioned before I bought all the rotisserie attachments and motor recently however the basket assembly came with missing parts such as the shafts and springs and mounting bracket. Well it finally arrived today and much to my dismay I cannot get this thing to mount properly and the bracket does not align with the hole to the motor for starters. Is there anyyone who can share their advice and experiences with me what my next steps are.I think Dennis must be tired of hearing my gripes by now...thanks.

Great advice. I have yet to test fly it yet-maybe this weekend?

Can anyone tell me their experiences with the BBQ Guru? I have one here ready to go...the one with the 20 CFM fan DIGI-Q. Does it perform as advertised?

Dennis just sent me an updated PDF manual suggestng the stone doubles as a baking stone as well as a heat deflector...at least the grill shaped one I have.

If you have a deck already then the KK23 is a piece of cake to roll....just requires a hard lean to get it going...make sure someone is steering though! Mine is on a concrete patio which is typically rougher than a patio deck so you should be in great shape.

Thanks! I agree with you just using a good quality lump and adding mesquite would be the best method but for some reason I need to satisfy my curiosity by trying the mesquite lump first. Yes I m familar with the Naked Whiz reviews and it certainly does highly rate it. Next problem I have is WHERE does one buy it?

Regarding lump charcoals....I will probably go with a shipment of the koko soon but I wanted to ask the members their thoughts and comments on how I can get my hands on some good quality mesquite lump-for some reason this stuff is difficult to get a hold of.

I installed a GE 27" induction cooktop about a year and a half ago....very slick and easy to use. Yes I had to replace cookware with "induction" ready utensils etc which is basically anything magnetic. Never really thought of it but my cast iron pans work great with it. Induction is lightning fast to pre-heat and fast to cool too. Being a glass top care must be taken at all times to prevent cracking. I really wanted a gas range but we aren't plumbed with gas lines where I live...nothing beats a flame for heat and speed-this is where the induction falls a bit short as it can never achieve the temps of a flame.

Help-just put together the basket splitter. Easy enough however what is the purpose of having two half moon grills when I (think) I want one side for indirect heat? Pictures of setup?Or would it be a configuration whereas I could remove the baffle and just have a complete grill THAT close to the firebox?More stupid questions to come...sorry. Also the round stone that comes with it....is this another baffle or heat diffuser or the actual baking stone? Thx.

I'm sure somebody out there has a full rotisserie setup? Can you please tell me a bit about it and does it perform well with the KK23? Do I order directly from Dennis? Thanks.

Touche'

NOTHING stops a "hoocaraine". Anyhow I have the KK living under the shade of the flat roof off the patio. If we get hit I am not worrying too much about losing the KK no matter how hard the wind blows!
