Well, we finally did it, we set up our new KK 22" after a long week in LA we came back to AZ and went to work, well our local mover set it in our backyard for us.
I have to say that this cooker is built like no other i have ever seen, the quality is excellent even the supplied tools are stainless. The cooking grates and basket are welded to near Aerospace quality. After we set up i lit a basket of lump coal to get to know how to control the temp and right from the start I was able to get a 3 hour steady temp of 250 degrees with just a few adjustments. could not be happier.
After playing around we decided to have our neighbors over and cook some poppers and chicken which all turned out fantastic. In the past with other grills we have had , Viking, Fire Majic, we only really grilled steak , chicken etc. With our new KK we plan on expanding our cooking prowess, later on this week I will be trying to smoke some salmon , I just hope I can get the KK down to 165 degrees???? not sure how to do it yet but I know I will have fun trying , then were on to Pizza. I think I figured how to get the temp cranking buy latching the lid to the first notch and opening the bottom and top vents it will get hot quick. Lastly , the height of this KK worked out perfect for me from my wheelchair Dennis was a great help thank you all !!
