Still lurking and waiting to get into my new house before I take the plunge on a KK. Have a few questions and was hoping some of you experts could enlighten me.
- The electronic sensor/blower package seems like an incredible add-on, but it looks pretty difficult to install. Is this really necessary, or can you with reasonable practice get the grill to maintain a low temp for many hours the old fashioned way? Also, I thought I read somewhere Dennis was installing the port tube now (can someone point me to the right place and/or elaborate)?
- Is the shipping curb side or do the delivery guys unpack and put the grill where I want it in the back yard? In other words, how many buddies do I have to invite over the day it arrives?
- I've noticed a lot of the pictures show people putting the grill on slate tiles. I have a concrete pad in the couple places I was considering putting it. Is that fine for placement, or do I need something substantial for underneath?
- How many racks of ribs could you cook in the 19.5 or 23? Does the rib rack allow you to cook more?
- One of the main reasons I am interested right now is the possibility of getting really high temps for steaks. Would either size KK be fine for this. I am asking because the only difference other than diameter seems to be three racks vs two for the 23 vs the 19. Are the lowest racks in both a similar distance from the coals so you could get similar performance for steaks?
Thanks for any instights y'all can provide!
