not sure that I will have time to cook on them tonight.  My wife has a work party and my boys have hockey again.  

I am just making sure that I do this burn in correctly right now.  We are just getting up to 500 degrees and the smell is definitely present.  No lifting or any signs of pressure as of yet... I am sure I will get some spots... but it would be pretty cool if I didnt!!!

I'm really tired today!! yesterday was a lot of work getting it all unpacked, placed then all the packaging sent to the dump in three loads.  Up early this morning unpacking the rest of the stuff.... I am really sore and tired today.... but extremely happy none the less

ok round two

I woke up this morning and it must have rained last night.  The new cover from KK worked perfect!! 

I ran out of time last night and didnt get a chance to empty the KKs with all of their stuff....  man this was a lot of work.  There is so much stuff packed inside.  

here is the contents of the 23"  the 32" is about the same

The grills are so bloody heavy... they are very well built and robust!! 

Each KK came with three grilling racks, labeled lower, main and upper.... the 32 also came with a bonus half grill.  The deflector stone on the 23" is a one piece and the 32" comes in 4 pieces.  They are thick and heavy!! should do a great job deflecting heat!

each KK came with a little box of goodies, tools and extra pieces that you may lose along the way

the main grate is awesome!! and did I mention crazy heavy!!

Here is a picture of the 32" and 23" main cooking grate

Well I finally got to the bottom of the pit and wanted to get going on the burn in process....  I used about a half a bag of RO red to fill both the 23" and 32".  I assume that I could have filled the basket higher 

the 23" basket loaded up

and the 32" basket loaded up

The baking stones are one piece again super heavy and well built.  The picture is a bit washed out but it is a little darker grey than this

the included drip pans with each KK

I ordered the rotisserie for only the 32".  Its massive and seems well built

and concluded the unwrapping with the double bottom drip pans.  These things are heavy!!!  They may be the heaviest item next to the stones.  They look great and will definitely act as a drip pan and deflector all in one!!

Got the tel-tru installed and now we are slowly getting up in temp to complete the burn in.  

It is a very exciting time, however, in all honesty... I am really tired out.  This was a huge order and lots of work... the joints and muscles are paying for it a bit today!!

today is a day off!!! just doing the burn in as we speak!!

That makes sense!!!!

Thank you that did the trick

I can't figure out how to get that piece in the bottom. Does it sit up high in the basket??

Bad port fire expect delays.

So this is what it feels like sitting on this side of the fence.

It's worth it!!!!

Great photo

you're setup was the inspiration Tony!!

I got word at 6:30am, that Customs accepted the declaration so I headed an hour east and went to pay for my delivery.  I was able to get same day shipping so I figured lest do this!!!   

They showed up around 1:30pm today and I did this by myself.  I really wanted to chronicle everything from beginning to end but it was going to rain and I wanted to get it done as soon as I could.  

I will say that the 3 skids were packed to perfection.  Dennis you're crew know how to secure the goods!!!  Everything was a piece of cake after watching everyone uncrate their stuff.  I could only get the 23" skid in the yard, the rest remained in the driveway.  

Tomorrow I will post pictures of the goodies that I got.... there are lots.  I haven't even pulled out what is inside the KKs as of yet.  Anyways, about 2 hours later and three trips to the City dump I am all cleaned up and ready to present some photos!!!

I am so overwhelmed with the beauty of these KKs.  It is true what they say, a picture just doesn't do it justice.  This is some of the finest craftsmanship that I have ever seen in my life.  

They were bigger than what I was expecting but in all honesty that 32" is not crazy!! It is a very manageable size for grilling!!!!!!!!!

So excited, I can't wait to roll some smoke through these puppies!!!

Dennis,  thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything to me.  You are the man behind the brand and I am so grateful to be cooking on these KKs!!!!   

I will post more as I go I promise.... for now I am off to watch my sons hockey game.  

Tomorrow we break them in and get them dirty!!

What an exciting day!!

I wish Mac. Not sure that I will be cooking today. My boys have hockey tonight so I'll see what I can get done today and go from there!!!

Have I mentioned that I am excited yet??

So delivery is 250 for the 3 skids. They offered same day delivery with my own dedicated truck for 320 CAD money for the Americans.....

KKs are being loaded for delivery as we speak!!!

Without the risk of sounding cheesy... I just laid my eyes on my KKs and they almost took my breath away. That 32" big bad is one big grill!!! Just arranging shipment now I may be able to get them today!!!!

I'm sitting at the warehouse waiting to pay for delivery. They only accept cash so I drove about 45 min. If I can sweet talk it I will deliver this afternoon if not looks like a morning delivery!!!

Going to see if they will let me go take a look

Tiny, not sure about that voting again to be honest.  You're dish was a top finisher!!!  

I hope that customs clear the packages and I should have end of this week or early next week at the latest

Ok just a quick update.

My kks arrived in Toronto this afternoon. The warehouse had made arrangements to send a truck over to pick up the container. I am just awaiting notice that the kks arrived st the warehouse.

From there, customs elects to inspect or approve the deceleration. If they approve then I will receive paperwork from the customs broker ASAP and make arrangemnts for home delivery.

If all goes well.... I will be able to pay for delivery tomorrow and ship as early as Thursday.

looking good buddy!!!!!

man those look good!!!!  I would kill all of it!!

Looks killer. Going to put this on Instagram around dinner

I have a top of the line chefs choice and it has been good. The issue is/was that the coarse grind creates an edge that was designed for my knives. I have collected a kitchen series of knives over the past two years and love them. I found that the master chef changed the way that they work. I sharpen more often as well.

Last month I got the new gadget designed for my blades. It's a manual feed style but I tell you.... These knives are as sharp as can be now. Very pleased with my little gadget and it was only 20.00. It is designed to sharpen the blade to henckels blades degree so it really does a number on my set!!

Bosco is rounding third baby!!!!

awesome video!!! 

I want to make some videos in the new year!

All good things are looking promising

Mac.....

I couldn't make this story up if I tried
