    Hi, I’m Oscar from Indianapolis, I’ve been a BGE guy for nearly a decade and am ready to step up to KK.  It’s a significant investment, so I’m looking to see if there’s anything used out there. I’m willing to travel for the right set up. Anything out there? Really like the community here!

    Hello Oscar.  I may be selling my Big Bad 32 Matte Black Pebble for personal reasons.   Lots of accessories too. Less than a year old.  Not sure what size your looking for.

  2. Always remember that temperature is airflow.. If you are not getting hot enough, you are not getting enough air.
    For high temp cooks it's best to use only medium to large pieces of charcoal in the center of the basket. For most commercial lump this means you need to pour it in a box, give it a few shakes and then use the biggest stuff on top. Once you have filled most of the bowl, you can then pour the small stuff around the very outside against the cement firebox where is will not restrict airflow..  ;-)
    Makes sense, and thank you.

  3. There is no such thing as too much lump. With nothing else said my guess is you have the top vent almost wide open. All your heat is going straight out the top vent. Close it down to 2 maybe 3 turns open at the most. Trap some heat inside to get up to high temps. I've gotten my KK's in the 800*-900* range although I don't recommend that. 
    For 500* I never go more than 2 turns open on the top vent and I cook at 500* all the time. 
     
     
    Thank you, yep thats ehat I did!

  4. Hey griff,  Those steaks are wired up more than my last operation. Do you work for NASA?  I do like your approach, and the results are what counts, hope your dinner was all you expected.
    Test run. Every other time I do more than 2 of these things a few come out better thsn than medium in doneness. Similar thickness and size.

    Final result: With the Big Bad all steaks were within 1-2 degrees the entire cook. Sorry there are no finished product pictures. I always forget about that part when hungry!

  6. Did I read somewhere that you’re a fellow Chicagoan (I’m an expat). Care to share the sausage recipe? I have been unable to either buy or replicate on my own that particular Chicago style of sweet Italian sausage.

  7. Excellent. Can't wait to see you fire that puppy up! 
    Noticed the notation on the crating - Downers Grove. Is that where you live? I have a very good friend that lives there and visit periodically. Been trying for years to get him to buy a KK, but he's "happy" with his pellet smoker and classic Weber kettle. :smt102
    Yes, I live in Downers Grove. Selling a pellet cooker now as well (Memphis). Cant wait to get home and fire it up myself!
