Crispy

I'm interested and live in Bellingham. Would the charcoal be delivered with your grill?

Sunday 8:30 am

reached 190 degrees earlier than planned, so early dinner now early lunch.

about time

Been too long, back to the forum following the sacrifice and recovery from a lenovo POS notebook (RIP thinkpad, lenovo did you wrong).

Anyway, the 19.5 is great in urban close quarters. Neighbors know there is something that smells good nearby but so far can't locate it.

If I managed the image upload, here are some pork shoulders

that just went under stoker control for an overnight cook.

Note the binder clip dome probe hack. No style points. Back tomorrow.

There was a 19.5" roaming wild in southern California. With Dennis' help I was able to capture it and bring it north. Its now in captivity on the back deck. Sorry, can't post pictures since I'm on forum probation.

The first cook started today at 2pm, 3 racks of baby backs Porkchop style from the Pork recipe section.

Started the fire, took the temp to 300, ribs on, closed lid, backed it down, and temp hasn't moved from 250 for 4 1/2 hours. Its been hard, but I've resisted opening the lid.

The 19.5" came in a 34"x34"x48" crate and weighed ~500 lbs. If you take the top of the crate off, its ~32"x32"x46" and able to squeeze through doors. Taking delivery and moving it around was easier than expected. I was able to manage the moving and setup by myself with an appliance dolly.

Thanks everybody for their contributions to the forum. Info like how to open the crate and the MAPP torch fire starting speeds the learning curve.

Almost time to open the lid.

I do almost all my "grilling" on the upper sear grill' date=' this puts it at a very comfortable height. Most of all my cutting tables are at 36" . My wife is a whopping 5'2", this would be the perfect size for those of smaller stature. Not to mention who would be the actual user of this model, I would guess for apartments with small balconies, I could see this model without legs maybe in a nice tropical hardwood cooking station. which would make the height a moot point anyway. I voted prematurely for the 30" height before really thinking about it. Go for lower, save on shipping, combine the container with the CoCoCoal(a)[/quote']

Primeats captured my thoughts, I voted 27. I'm a buyer of this model (at any height) when its available as we live in an urban condo and have deck space and HOA constraints. I had my wife sold on the OTB 23 until she realized its size and weight and she is right. The comfort difference between 27 and 30 would be offset by the volume/space difference. Of course I'd rather be a buyer of the OTB 23, which is making think of moving to the beach or the country.
