  1. Whenever you find yourself in agony this week.... just think of my delivery thread!!!  I ordered in August and took delivery in December!!!  I watched shipping sites to track my package everyday and when they finally arrived the long wait didn't seem to matter.

     

    When you see your KK for the first time you will be absolutely stunned by its beauty and design.

  2. For my pizza cooks on the KK I would just put the upper grate on and use the deflector as a baking stone until your new one comes.

    It's not like the standard ceramic. I have had great success with my pizza.

    I also leave the stone in to heat soak it. I don't take the temp past 550

    So setup A is how I do it.

  3. I have the dual vent so I will try and add some advice.

    I would first recommend tossing the proble gadget aside... Just for a bit until you get comfortable with the KK. Learn its settings without the gadgets.

    Now for both my kks the settings are the same.

    Low and slow cooks

    To start

    Bottom damper 1/4 open

    Top damper 1/2 turn open

    Once around 200 I dial the bottom back to just a sliver open and the top maybe 1/4 turn if that.

    That gets me right around 225-250

    Grilling 350-375

    I can hit this temp in 10 min on the 23 every time

    To start

    Bottom half open

    Top 3 turns open

    Around 300 I dial bottom to a 1/4 open and top down to about 1 turn open.

    That gets you in the ball park of 350 and you tweak slightly from there all using top vent with 1/4 turn increments.

    I don't see the need of bringing grill over 600 so not really leaving things fully open at anytime.

    Lighting- I only light in one spot now for low and slow or high heat. They are very efficient and heat quickly due to air flow and they really have no need for multiple lighting spots. I would always overshoot my temps if I lit in multiple spots.

    You really need to buy into the theory of less is more now. The KK runs better and it is amazing to see just how little air flow is required to heat them up.

    Lastly when you close the top damper it will get to a spot where it stops. That is closed. I then give it a light turn from there as a final lock.

    For me, the two stainless markers stop around the 10 and 4. I turn it just a tad more so it is around the 11 and 5.

    When I do turns I open the damper from 11 and 5 position to a 9 and 3. I then open three full turns so I always know where I am at.

    Honestly a few more cooks and you will be a pro!!!

  4. Hi - I tried the link that ckreef included and it takes me to street 404 - I see some abbreviations and tried to guess, but no luck. Would appreciate the pictures as I have smoke coming out one side...

    Thanks! Doug

     

    Best to just give Dennis a call. He can trouble shoot issues and solve them in seconds.

  5. Amazing!!!!

     

    Congrats on the purchase, you are going to love it.  If I am not mistaken that is the dark harvest gold pebble finish??  It looks spectacular!!!!

     

    Great job on the accessories you look like you got everything.  The only other things that I would consider ordering is a cover, second charcoal basket for the splitter and a double bottom drip.

     

    Now you need to order your roti motor from onegrill.com
