Dono

Congratulations!!

Dennis, If you can share, I am eager to hear the details on what initiated the new size design. It’s 4” smaller the the SBB 42 and 6” larger than the BB 32. I’ve been following so hopefully did not miss that explanation elsewhere.

Awesome article!!

Done

Welcome!! I hope you love your 32 as much as I love mine. There is a lot of knowledge and help available on this forum. Ask anytime.

Looks awesome! Hope it was as good as it looks. I’ve not heard of Blues Hog before. Coco char is a really great charcoal. For my taste, it works better with the addition of wood chunks to get a smoke flavor. You might experiment with it and others. Some brands I’ve used and had success with are Komado Joe, Jealous Devil, and Fogo super premium (yellow bag)…..not necessarily in that order. The only lump I recommend anyone avoid is Cowboy. It’s the worst in my experience. You may be doing this but I suggest lighting a grapefruit sized portion of lump just a little bit north of middle. Again, I’m sure others will chime in with some other helpful recommendations. Best of luck.

Welcome to the forum. Nice grill. And your cook pics look great! What lump you are using? I own a 32 BB so I can not speak to the limited cook time at such a low temp. But it does seem out of the norm to me. Concerning your question about adding more charcoal…I wouldn't see a problem topping it off with a little more lump like you described. Dennis told me once that there is nothing you can do to damage the firebox with wood or charcoal. Not a lot of help, but I’m pretty sure @tony b as well as others have the 23. So maybe they can chime in with some info. Welcome again. I know you’re going to love your KK.

Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed new year!

Great story and so happy for your business successes, Dennis! It’s an absolutely wonderful product you’ve developed and refined. Wishing you and your family business many, many more years of prosperity.

Very nice!!

Appreciate your response.

David, Are you still satisfied with the Anova oven? I’m replacing yet another failed Breville unit.

Unfortunately not me. You are very close to Luling. If you’ve never been you should check out Luling City Market. BBQ is pretty dang good. And their bottled sauce is a family fav. Closed Sunday. Enjoy!

I’ve had success using 3-4 layers of “heavy duty” foil and 2 pretty small holes. I’ve got a smoking pot as well but I prefer to use the foil. It’s more flexible than a pot and it’s a little easier to get it wedged in over the charcoal. Just my preference.

High five!!
