so what are your thoughts???

I cleaned that pics up for you and rotated them.

This looks great!!

Congrats on the setup

the 32 is breath taking when you first see it!!.  You have the bug... only one cure now

well having both the 23" and the 32" and maybe a tad bit of OCD.......  I am very happy that the dials are the same on both!!!!

This is looking good. That is one heck of a meat grill!!! Can't wait to see the finished cook

It really isn't needed. I ammvery pleased with my baskets and have never had a situation where I thought that it would be a need.

To each is own. How about you sell with the standard basket and offer an upgrade basket to those who find it a need. I am positive that you won't see many line up to buy it out of necessity....

Anyways from what I have seen, Dennis only wants the highest standard so we will likely see this in production in the near future.

They are already hundreds of miles ahead!!

I love the look of the current dial on both grills and the 32 does not need to go bigger

Unnecessary

One of the nicest things for me on the KK is that thermometer.  I do NOT want to see it changed!!!  If he wants a bigger one he can buy it.  

Oh yeahhhhhhh!!!!

start a new post under Kamado general or forum members to intro yourself so we can all help you out and follow your journey

congrats... what do you having coming???

A member on the guru, Dub once told me that I was missing out on a flavour explosion by making my own.  He was right, I really enjoy the variety and improvements to my cooking.  

I do try and find sodium reduced rubs and do not enjoy the really strong salt flavour rubs

I was just having a conversation with tony and thought that I would start a thread to see what everyone is using.  I have some of my own recipes that are really good, however, over time I have developed a new appreciation of pre-made rubs.  One thing that I really like about pre-made rubs is that you get to try a variety and not be bound to one flavor profile.  The second thing is that spices are expensive and its easier to just get an all in one. 

With that said.... You do go through a trial and error phase and some rubs are just not that good. A lot of them use far too much salt which I don't really appreciate.  Anyways, last week I had a massive clean out.  I gave away in excess of 30 bottles of rubs to a buddy and narrowed my cupboard down to the following:

Plowboys

yard bird - chicken wings

Dizzy Pig

Dizzy Dust - Burgers!!

Mediterranean-ish - chicken and Greek potatoes  

John Henry's

Summertime Peach - ribs 

Cilantro and Lime - shrimp, chicken, fajita mix

Mojave Garlic - steak

Pecan rub (very close to meat church Deez-nuts.  Haven't decided yet what one is my favorite)

Meat Church

Holy Cow - low and slow beef ribs brisket

Deez-nuts - chicken breast, shrimp

The Slabs

Birds and Bones - everything chicken!!!

Lanes

have them all and still experimenting.  So far, I think that the sweet heat is my favorite. 

So what about you guys???

I need to see some more pictures of this setup WOW!!!!!

fantastic looking bird!!!  I am dying to here what you thought about the birds and bones rub!!!!!!

Bada Bing! Nailed that.. The browned crispy-ish cheese on top looks killer..

I'd be fighting to get one of those corner pieces!

the family knows that the corners are mine!!!

Amazing. Just posted to Instagram page

Lol ok ok sorry. I just can't afford to be bullied into another grill

Yeah rookie shut you're face!!!

Robert said to try the 505 and it wiped the grease clean.  I had to use a tough sponge around the steel collar to get the grime off but really little effort.  

I let the shell dry after degreasing then hit it with the spray wax.   bling bling!!!

side note, that 505 removed the white residue from the initial burn in!!  

before my KK, I always looked at the weather prior to cooking.  I still do not like cooking in the rain, but with the top damper rain has no barring on the cook anymore!!   

There are some nice stainless vent caps you can buy that actually look nice compared to the one you posted.  Also I know that KJ is in the midst of creating a new top damper to incorporate an enclosed system.  

Companies are still playing catchup... but KK is the clear leader!!  Dennis has thought about everything when he designed these babies!!

Here is my cleaning kit that I use.

Home Depot for 505 and maguires for the wax and buffing.

I bought in the USA but just googled and you can buy Home Depot Canada
