Exactly what happens in our house Troble.
I struggle to overcook a steak. It kills me watching it burn.

Toss me into this group also. I like mine rare enough to be on the endangered species list while she wants hers dead.

Nice looking cook. Did the neighbors come by for a sample?

Nice looking cooker @Wingman505. That little gap is no big deal. Good job with your burn-in.

Probably the biggest reason that I hate winter - crappy tomatoes!

I thought winter tomatoes were only used to make ketchup??

Did you hear about the chameleon that couldn't change color? Suffered from reptile dysfunction!

I live on a ranch with ~50 head of cattle and 400+ sheep. All dorper. We eat lots of lamb!

Welcome @Mayor! You're going to love cooking on your KK and friends and family will love you cooking on it.

ckreef did an in-depth charcoal comparison. Take a look at his research and see what brands are available in your area.

Putting smiles on faces and food in bellies! Good job!!

Hind sight maybe should have gone for the cold smoker instead since i am finding it hard to accomodate a cast iron pot under the low grate when doing a long smoke.

Can you leave the lower grate out?

This is pretty funny

Not cat - bat

Bat...it's what's for dinner

Bat...NOT the other white meat

Where's the bat!

You have great taste in beer too. I like the hops used by Lagunitas. 

I'll second that!

Perfection!

Nicely done! Looks perfect.

Talking to Dannis and burn-in not needed on the new models. Just out of the box and start cooking.

No burn-in?!! I bought a used 23 KK and still did the burn-in. It was just the right thing to do. Welcome to the forum @Lars.

I’m just really nervous about designing a yard with no gas grill, we currently have a pre-manfacuteted is hand with the fire magic that’s been years old and I’m considering not having a gas grill at all when we tear up the backyard and just using my KK, however since I’m getting the 32 I feel like I need a safety net gas grill in case I need a quick cook. 

My memory of folks that keep their gassers as standbys or safety nets wind up using them as a storage compartment for their KK accessories. That's not a dig on gassers rather, a compliment to KK performance. It will be interesting to see how often you use the gas grill.

Anyways, welcome to the forum @Troble. You're going to love cooking on your KK!!  @tekobo is correct. The food off a cobalt blue KK is a cut above!

Sorry to hear of your loss Aussie. My condolences to you.

@tony b I hope that romaine wasn't from Salinas California. BTW Good looking meal!

I completely agree with the 16" KK being a great grill/smoker @Jon B.. I use my way more than I use my 23" KK.

A meal like that will get you through the cold weather @tony b!

Looks perfect @MacKenzie

Interesting! Apple, plum, apricot, & peach. Don't see those fruits playing together very often.

What’s the best way to roll it off the support island it’s sitting on?

The top of the shipping crate doubles as a ramp.
