Congratulations! i was lucky enough to get to see the 42 when i was at Dennis's place in Bali late last year. That thing really is a beast in terms of real estate and the design is simply amazing!
Where abouts are you based? Are you in the US and get to get your grill relatively quickly, or do you have all the fun ahead of tracking various ships as it wings its way to you?
Id love to see the unboxing, burn in and first cook pics when it arrives.
Thank you! I’m in the U.S. (Midwest) so it shouldn’t be too long as there was one in stock.
I will post pics for sure.

Well after days of deliberating on color, I finally ordered the SBB42.... in matte black pebble.
I want to thank everyone on here who gave advice. Don’t hate me if you were rooting for cobalt blue pebble! Lol.
Now the wait for delivery.
Oh, I did order a blue cover though lol. And yes, the alcohol does work..... in moderation.

Many of us here clean the tiles with Zep 505 and a magic eraser sponge. If you want it to shine, use a bit of car wax to polish afterwards with a damp chamois.
I have read that as well and appreciate the info. The owner of the SBB42 I saw yesterday in matte black pebble also waxes it.

I've never heard that before from anyone on this Forum?? There is nothing unique about how the blue tiles are made from any other color, as far as I know.
It’s mentioned by several owners on here. I’ve done the research but am not going to put people on the spot and screenshot their posts etc.
I was also told to use a soft rag and to treat it like a back car as it shows everything, and not wipe it with a dry rag.

SSgt93, are you still counting your pennies trying to get to sleep after seeing the SBB42 in black matte pebbles?
We had a massive storm come through last night which made sure I was awake in the early hours. I’m so torn on color but know I would be happy with either. After seeing the matte black yesterday I am in love though. I rubbed my hands all over it like it was a genie bottle! The stainless and black just screams BBQ to me and goes with any setting (we will probably move in the near future).
On the other hand, the cobalt blue will look great by the pool, but we may not have a pool at the next place (but we probably will, or a lake... maybe both). But I don’t want to try to match at the same time. Reading several posts about how easy the cobalt blue scratches and the extra maintenance needed has me worried. I will clean my grill but I don’t want to have to treat the finish like a Ferrari either.
I’m so torn.... I’m sure I would be happy with either but really fell for the matte black yesterday.

Makes sense. So...when are you pulling the trigger?? Summer is a-wastin'!
I’m stuck on color. Matte black pebble vs cobalt blue pebble. From what I’m hearing cobalt blue scratches easy and requires more maintenance. I’m very impressed with the matte black pebble and the color also screams traditional bbq to me and looks great against the stainless steel. Family likes the cobalt though and it will look great by the pool. What to do, what to do....

After seeing the 42 rotisserie cradle yesterday, there is no doubt in my mind the larger motor is needed. It is massive! Extremely impressive steel artwork.

Saw the SBB42 today in black matte pebbles and it’s gorgeous. I’m seriously torn. I hope I sleep tonight.

Those are the same choices that I was stuck on, there is just something about the matte black I like. The contrast with the stainless is really nice.
When I started looking at KKs the cobalt blue pebble wasn’t available and I was dead set on matte black pebble. Decided I needed to buy one this year and the matte black pebble was available for immediate purchase so I jumped on it. Glad I did.
The cobalt blue looks amazing in photos and I am sure is stunning in person. Seriously no bad choice here!
I think the matte black pebble screams “BBQ”, very traditional color for BBQ since the majority of smokers etc are black.
The cobalt blue is gorgeous as well from what I can tell from various online pics. The extra maintenance involved to make sure it’s not scratched etc worries me a bit. I do love the close up pics of the cobalt blue pebble.
I don’t think I can go wrong with either color. It will be close to my pool so maybe the blue will complement it will (but we may also move in the near future and black goes with everything).
I may just flip a coin......

Congrats! That matte black pebble is growing on me. I’m going to look at an SBB42 matte black pebble tomorrow. Dennis contacted the owner so I could take a before purchasing. I’m stuck on that or cobalt blue pebble.

LOL on #3. That was my thread and I asked to have it deleted because I felt like it was going to come back and bite me.
Congrats!

I know this isn’t the correct thread but didn’t see a need to start a new one over this, but Is there anyway that the search word length could be shortened to two or three letters for things like “42” or “SBB”? That would be great since I’m trying to research extensively. Wish people with 42’s would list 42SBB, but have only found a post or two. Just a suggestion.

Yup.. I'd definitely go the larger motor. That cradle is massive, better to have more torque than not enough.
Thanks Dennis. You have an email waiting for you as well. I know you are replying to this at 4:30am in Bali! Yikes. I appreciate the response.

Hello,
Do I need the bigger motor ($170) for the rotisserie cradle on the SBB42 or will the smaller $70 motor work?

I have a question about your 42 if you don't mind answering; Thank you in advance. How hard is it to move that 42 around on surfaces that are mostly flat, but some with a slight incline (pool concrete for us)? Any info would be appreciated. -Steve
Ordered the SBB42

Haha, I’ve been BBQ’ing for 20+ years now and have always been intrigued by KK. I’ve been using Green Eggs for 10+ years and really like the Kamado style of BBQ and did not want to leave it.... but I wanted more, as well as more space. The BGE’s will be sold.
I contemplated going to the 32, but after seeing the 42 in person and how easy it is to do a whole hog, it sealed the deal. I wanted more space and it’s on the way.
Thank you, I’m looking forward to the arrival. I will document it well.
If anyone else is on Instagram, I am the same user name on there.
