I just reread comments - will try ribs and pork shoulder at 275 or so for 4 to 6 hours. Any comments on the heat deflector and rack set up would be great - I guess I could also lay the drip pan in there? Cheers

First cook questions ..... Ok guys, I have my 32" KK unpacked and ready to go. As an aside, I have to add that the quality, fit, finish and attention to detail is amazing ! It feels like one is unwrapping parts that have made by a true craftsman. Not a common experience in these days of mass production. This grill and components is amazing. It was like Christmas in August! So for my first cook I am going to do some ribs. I am thinking 1/2 basket of cocochar with some wood chunks if I can pick some up quick (I will try the smoke pot thing later). Should I then put the heat deflector stand in and the big heat deflector stones? Then cook on the top rack at about 225 to 250? About 4 or 5 hours likely? Any comments/confirmations/suggestions would be great. Trying to get a cook in today to reward my meat loving son before he returns to school this week. Thanks

Successful in uncrating !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure about that ... just wasn't home long enough to open (had a meeting and dinner I had to attend). Psyched my landscaper happened to have Bob Cat there. Saved me hours of rolling across yard and my son from hearing colorful language in the process Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Will do. A little rain tonight and pool party tomorrow. So likely Saturday AM. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the ideas Here is crate. Ready to be opened ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 32" KK arrived today !!! Only issue was that the delivery company guy's pallet jack wouldn't fit under the crate (pallet forks wrong width). Basically a screw up on their end. Luckily my landscaper was able to scoop it up with a Bobcat (forks adjustable) and take it off the truck. Its sitting in the yard and he will take it around to the patio later today/tomorrow. I am planning for the un-crating on Saturday. I want to do a low and slow (before the break in) for my son before he goes back to school next week. I think brisket is an all day cook? how long do ribs take as a "first cook" ? Thanks

OK - got the call from the shipping company today - grill coming Thursday. Very excited. My landscaping guy has a Bobcat on site with forklift attachment - can he move the crate with that so I don't have to roll it around my house on the lawn? Thanks

Thanks everyone, I am looking forward to it. I am planning on using plywood to roll it into place. Just have to go around my house and then on to a stone patio by the back door near the kitchen. a slight down grade in places and i have my son here for the next couple weeks so he will help.

Its Terra Blue

Hello all, I made the plunge today and ordered my KK32. I can't wait. Took the advice of several and went big (32", hoping my 6-2 son and I can navigate it across the lawn, around the house to its resting place) and got the basket splitter, the pizza stone and the rotisserie I have been into wine for a long time and am looking forward to a cooking and wine pairing adventure in the coming years ! Thanks for the feedback on the questions I have asked so far and I hope you will tolerate some more in the coming weeks and months. Regards

I am still getting ready to order (talked to Dennis today). Another maybe silly question - what are the ways to use the KK as a smoker - do you just drop the wood chips into the coals? How frequently do you have to replace? Do you get "smoking" results similar to the dedicated smokers out there (I am assuming yes or better with the KK, but just wanted to ask before making the big investment). Also, can someone explain alternatives ? cast iron smoke pot or cold smoker and how they work? Thanks !

Thanks for the feedback. I am reading through a lot of the old posts and learning a lot.

Thanks - so I have family of 5, maybe cook for 12 at holidays. Absent "big" party is the 23 big enough? Also have a 24" stainless gas grill (was expensive and my wife remembers/reminds) that I will keep (for the time being maybe) so I can always grill veggie's, dogs, etc. on that I am also concerned about moving the 32 (and the 23) - will uncrate in my driveway and then have to roll around house on lawn with some slight grade - can this really be done on plywood using the casters? Thanks!

Hi, I am getting close to pulling the trigger - looking at 23 and trying to talk myself out of "needing" the 32. The basket splitter is sold out as is most of the charcoal - what is the typical frequency of restocking items? Thanks!
