I like how you think!

Well 2 hours at 400 to get some heat into her and play with adjustments. Now 1 hour at 550 and no events so far, but my beer tastes good Looks like I’m missing a hose between the air pump and the cold smoker. Is that something you can just get at an aquarium store?

Thank you! Burn in has begun! I don't have any excuses not to cook now Only thing left on the list is a Lynx Griddle and then for everything to be built in with a sink and running water. Wellllll maybe a beer tap as well Traeger is actually being returned and a Yoder YS640S arrives on Wednesday.

Yeah no doubt. Can’t wait to see it in action tomorrow

There were 4 of us. 3 got to the ramp and we decided a 4th would be good to have Incase it moved left or right. Had to move it fast because it wasn’t the strongest ramp but we made it happen

Yeah I wasn't pleased but it didn't touch even the plastic wrap so everything was good. We decided to build a ramp to get her up to the higher level and it worked well. Luckily it rolls well on the wheels I need to figure out the piece that screws into the cold smoker and the extra bracket that comes with the side tables but I have her in position and ready for burn in tomorrow. Will be doing pizza tomorrow night.

It's here! Little damage to the crate but inside looks good. Now just waiting for helpers....

Looks like Big Bad Brad will be here in 20 minutes! Now I will just have to stare at it all day while I wait for people to come help move it tonight. Ice is in the cooler!

In the same boat. Waiting for my delivery email for a 32” myself

Tony thanks for sharing that info, very interesting. I usually like to wait until the KJ was cool to the touch. Now that I think about it, from what I’ve read the KK doesn’t get very hot the outside have to worry about ruining the cover as well!

Thanks. I’ll be sharing lots once the KK is in action

Yeah def looking forward to it. Honestly I will probably only use the Traeger for chicken and quick smoke items. Made some killer smoked meatballs on the Traeger this weekend. Biggest issue for me is that I always cover my grills when not in use. KK takes a long time to cool down so I tend not to use a Kamado grill if rain will happen before I can cover it. I used my KJ a couple times in the rain but I typically like to avoid it. That being said, I might be being over protective but when I have so much invested in bbqs, I like to protect them. Also have mesquite logs and like to cook some over an open fire

Yep, oddly enough I got a notification of the rotisserie motor shipping. Just need a few more pieces and the star of the show

Well it’s been a month and the time is getting near. My 32 arrived on 9/2 and should be getting an update on shipping any time. Been missing having a Kamado style grill. Cant wait till it arrives!

wow, sorry to hear that! Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Thought'd I'm chime in here real quick. I have a new 32" KK and a cold smoker on the way, but I have used a smoking tube for various cooks and have a Traeger as well. In my research I came across a few places that said if you look at Traeger pellets they are Hickory, with oils of other woods. ie. Mesquite only had mesquite oil on hickory wood. Yes still 100% wood but not necessarily the wood you were hoping for. BBQr's Delight Wood Pellets are 2/3 oak and 1/3 flavor wood. The green mountain are supposed to be good as well but so far I have only used BBQr's Delight and they have worked well with great flavor. Just thought I would share.

Hey @tekobo thanks, I did see a couple posts about that. I have a variable speed Ryobi that should do the trick. @Bruce Pearson seems the rule of thumb is that if there isn’t a picture, it doesn’t exist thanks!

Thanks. Yeah I did kick that around but for me, this is a weekend only toy. I work too many hours during the week to do a lot of cooking at home. Ultimately figured it wouldn’t be that hard to adjust as needed. We will see, once I have some time with it,I may change my mind.

Thank you. Yeah I had the rotisserie for my KJ as well. Some great tasting chicken!

Thanks, SS shelves cold smoker basket splitter cover rotisserie pizza stone Double bottom drip 15 cases of coco char think that’s it!

Thanks it went on the water last Tuesday so hopefully within a month or so. Will be counting the days!

Since I officially placed my order for a 32" Cobolt Blue KK, I figured I should introduce myself. Canadian living in Delaware, backyard hack who enjoys cooking, cars, and golf. Started with a Brinkmann electric drum style smoker that I used for 10 years (had 2 over that time). Graduated to a Weber Smoky Mountain, and a Weber Summit gas grill for 4 years. Then replaced Smoky Mountain with a Kamado Joe Big Joe for 2.5 years Now replaced Summit with a Lynx 54" Pro grill on NG Just (today) sold KJ and bought a Traeger Ironwood, so I have something to at least smoke on with while I wait for the 32" KK. Had a Traeger 7 years ago (for 3 weeks) but only had a small deck and wife said we didn't have room for 2 bbqs so it had to go. Great for a few things but terrible for sear and hi temp cooking. End result will be a 32"KK, my Lynx, Traeger, and adding a Lynx 30" griddle. Yes most will say, I may not use anything but my KK after I have one, but the Traeger makes some amazing chicken that I dont have to babysit, and the 1000F sear burner on the Lynx is nice to have when doing a reverse sear on another unit. There are only 2 of us but I do enjoy mixing different processes and eating a fine steak or smoked food. Looking forward to experimenting with the KK (yes I bought 15 cases of cocochar at the same time).

Hey Dennis, appreciate the insight. We spoke yesterday afternoon and I'm getting the 32" Cobalt

Thanks for the input!

Hi There, I've been toying with the idea of replacing my Big Joe with one of these units. Leaning towards the 32", mainly so I can do 2 pizzas at a time. I've had my Big Joe for 2 years and I don't often run out of space. I also have a 54" Lynx gas grill so if I run out of room there are too many people at the house I recently came across a post about putting a cast iron inside with wood chips to get more smoke. There is also talk about using the cold smoke tool to add more smoke. I have no problem getting lots of smoke on the KJ between 225 and 250 with a couple of chunks of wood on top of the lump. Needless to say the thought of messing with a cast iron pot or spending $220 to add smoke doesn't sound that appealing to me. I've watched some videos and everyone has really positive things to say about the product but I'm curious to learn more about the low temp smoke performance. Thanks much!
