Sorry if you have taken the time to look at shipping costs. At this time, I won’t be able to buy.

I see they do have a splitter for the fire for this size. Awesome. https://komodokamado.com/collections/23-ultimate-accessories/products/23-ultimate-charcoal-basket-splitter

She wants medium to medium well and as little char as possible. Me, I want some char and medium rare. Is that clearer? I was was thinking quick seat and then indirect heat for her and thus the 32. Can I do that with the 23?

I love to cook and I'm just so bad at grilling compared to what I am seeing here. I am interested in getting a KK. (A giant step from a common gas grill.) One of the biggest thoughts I have is that my wife likes her steak at a much different temperature than I do. She also doesn't like much char to happen. With this in mind, I think I should look to the 32" so that I can have true separation from the fire and keep her steak off the direct heat for most of the cooking. It's just the 2 of us, so the smaller 23" seems like it should be able to handle the size that I need. I"m just concerned that with this model, I'll still struggle to keep the char off her steak and get the steak cooked to medium/medium well. I'd love the opinions of experienced Kamado chefs!

Yes. I Would definitely consider it but have no clue what it might be. Could you ask? I am 60137 zip code. I am going to speak to my wife in the morning. Just saw this at bed time.

I am considering getting a KK. I am concerned how it will handle a Chicago winter. Every terra-cotta pot I have ever owned and forget outside in the winter will fracture do to the freeze thaw cycle. Will the KK survive? What special things do I need to do to accomplish a life long KK in a climate like this?

Perhaps you’d consider using these guys. https://www.cratersandfreighters.com/request-for-quote/

And if you do decide that you might want to ship it, I’d definitely want to pay for insurance in shipping everything.

Ok. I see the photos. Beautiful grill! Can this thing be shipped to Illinois? How much would that be on top of the $2000.

I am interested. Any photos?
