Did you use a pallet jack or roll it on the casters? There was a run on pallet jack rentals around here last weekend, so mine is still in the garage, trying again tomorrow.

Congratulations! Mine is still in the garage, don't want to uncrate it until I have moved it, though I have contemplated uncrating, removing the innards to lighten the load, and then putting crate back on for moving

BB 32 completed her journey to NC and finally to my house this morning. The lift gate wasn't very deep so the driver had to place the crate 90 degrees to where it should be facing, and you can see from the one picture that it was tilted at a precarious angle. What you can't see, or only part of is that I was behind the crate pushing on it so the pallet jack could roll off the side of the gate. Got it off the lift safely and wheeled it into the garage for inspection. My first thought was that there is no way this is a 32", it had to be a 42" because it's so big. I've read hundreds of times that nothing can do justice to the beauty and quality of the grill until you see it in person, and that is so true. I kind of just sat there and stared at it and rubbed the tiles without saying a word. Now comes the fun part of getting it from the garage, around the side of the house and onto the patio beneath my deck. Probably going to rent a pallet jack and do the leapfrog with two pieces of plywood, but will need a few strong friends to navigate it down a short but steep hill. I'm guessing that will be a weekend project.

Great looking grill, can't get over the size of those grates, and I like you added the comparison with the Primo. Primo XL was one I was considering when I decided I needed more room, seeing the two side by side there is no comparison and I think I made the right choice. Looks like @braindoc and I will be the last ones cooking from those who had grills in this shipment, though I haven't scheduled delivery, it should show up this week.

I called this morning, and the grill has just arrived at the local hub! I was told I would get a call this evening to arrange delivery, not sure if they deliver on Saturday, but at least I know I'll be cooking on it next weekend!

For me, it would be an overwhelming and very welcome surprise. There are some threads on cooking with vertical skewers, I posted about the Trompo King which triggered replies with other options for vertical cooking. I'm marinating my chicken now for a shwarma cook tomorrow.

Nice, can't wait to see it! Still no word on mine, I may break protocol and call the shipping company anyway, hopefully it's made it to Atlanta by now!

Welcome Lila. There is a handful of us who had grills on the ship that docked about three weeks ago, and now we're all waiting on our delivery days. I spend more than a few minutes each day reading both the new and older posts. Lots of information on here, and it is also interesting to see how the KK has evolved the last several years, many of the improvements are the direct result of suggestions from members that Dennis has implemented into new designs. Though I have never seen one in person, I believe I have made a pretty good investment.

I received the One Grill motor for my rotisserie this weekend, does that count?

I called the shipping company, and my grill is still in LA but on the truck. It's on the way to Atlanta where it will be loaded on a second truck and shipped to me, I was told near the end of next week. Memorial Day is still on the table!

I'm in North Carolina, so the grill is going cross country for me too

Same for me, I enter the BOL and destination zip code, it says "no matches". I tried calling yesterday around 5 and was on hold for a few minutes before I had to hang up. I'll try again today.

Received my shipping emails this morning, so my BB 32 is finally on the road! Have not called the shipping company yet to see what my ETA is, but I may be cooking by Memorial Day! I will have the delivery person put the grill in my garage, then I will need to figure out how to best get the grill into my backyard. My front yard is levelish, but there is a slope into the backyard and through a gate. I'm thinking either use the plywood leapfrog method and roll it on the casters, and maybe tie a strap to the grill to help ease it down the hill. Other option is to rent a pallet jack and do the same thing while the grill is still on the base of the crate, which would eliminate any stress on the casters. I will need to measure the base of the crate to make sure it will fit through my gate before I decide on that route. Either way, expect more questions and some pictures in the next week or so.

Received my emails early this morning, need to call the shipping company to see what my ETA is. Might be cooking by Memorial Day!

Emails received at 5:30 this morning!

Impressive video and very comprehensive, I was ready to order another one and I sill don't have my first one. I agree with you on the SS band, it's there to protect the lip, but it really does make the grill pop!

I tried to add some to my order last month and was told the shipping company would not allow them to ship it (considered hazardous material) when the ship was full of cargo, so they were out for the time being. Guess we need to wait for a less crowded ship.

9000 miles down, 2500 to go!

Great video and gorgeous grill, good to have a delivery guy who took it to your backyard, makes it less stressful. Mine is going to have to go around the house and down a hill to its final resting place, hopefully with enough brawn and a few sheets of plywood, it won't be too bad. On the plus side, One Continuity has changed locations at the dock, so hopefully she is being unloaded now.

My grill is also on that boat. Squeezed four racks of ribs on my Kamado Joe this morning and had to bend them to get the lid closed. Hopefully my next rib cook won't be nearly as crowded!

I do like the elevated bottom on that one. I didn't order the drip pan with my KK, so I'll need the heavy duty pan that comes with the Trompo King.

I received an email this morning from Smokeware, and their Trompo King is on sale today. After seeing pictures on here of it being used for some fine looking cooks, I knew one was in my future, so I jumped in and bought it, again spending more money on accessories for a grill I still don't have. https://smokeware.com/collections/trompo-king?mc_cid=e8c3fb7d2d&mc_eid=5660248f6a

Nice, can't wait to see it all unpacked. Mine is now anchored off the coast of Long Beach, Dennis said it could be a couple weeks before the ship docks and is unloaded. Until then, I'll just keep living vicariously through you guys!

My old swimming and fishing lake from when I was a young boy, nice spot to enjoy a cold beverage BOC!
