Welcome, I’m new here too. Excellent choice in color 😉 I’m another that went BGE to KK, but I had a Primo xl for 5 or 6 years in between. All fine cookers but the KK is just on another level.

Did you cook direct for awhile first to get that good color then put the drip pan in ?

My local rental company had a bobcat with forks. Have you asked about something like that ? Instead of renting for the day they came to my house and moved it to where I wanted it for $140. In and out safe and sound in 20 minutes.

I think I have watched your video 12 times lol To me that temp is absolutely perfect !!!!!

Thank you, it tasted just as good as it looked 😁

First time using the rotisserie the other day , thrilled with the results 😁

That video made my mouth water !!!!!!!

Correct, the side tables hang from their mounting brackets with the hooks already on the underside of the side tables. These hooks are just for hanging tools. I only installed the one on the left hand side as the one on the right side interfered with the rotisserie motor. I can’t be bothered taking it off and putting it back on to use the rotisserie.

I could be completely wrong but this is how I put mine together. I wanted the fire to the right hand side away from the half grate for searing purposes.Hope that helps

I must have my basket splitter setup wrong on my 32. I have the lump on the right hand side

Congratulations!!!!

I used the crowbar and took the top and one side off , it really isn’t heavy.

You feel free to have those for me Tony, I gave those up a long time ago 🤣

Looks great !!!!!

Thanks, I am really enjoying the KK. I hope the rest of you get your’s delivered soon !!!! The uncrating was really easy, one thing to keep in mind is to have a razor knife handy and use it to cut the included crowbar loose from inside the crate. Not that it is really needed but you’ll want to save the slats with the company logo on them. Then start up top by removing the screws to take the ramp off the top and then I used an impact driver with a socket to remove the bolts that secure the crate to the skid. Two people can easily lift the crate off at that point, or remove one side and one person can remove it. Then just untie the blue ropes and cut the yellow straps and remove the wood chalks that keep it in place and roll that bad boy right off 😁

The local rental place stopped at my house before sending it out on another rental. They showed up exactly when they said they would and moved it for me, I love dealing with small local businesses and while trying to vent it again today I made me a little lunch !!!!!😋

I believe it would smell regardless of there being any cracks or holes but I’m guessing Dennis is the only one who could answer that for sure. But I’ll do it again anyways , and if a dozen sausages or a couple chickens fall inside while I’m doing it tomorrow it will be a good day 😁

No bulging but there was plenty of smell lol I ended up having enough fuel for 4 hours at 500. It is winding down now but I saw no signs of any bulging at all. I’ll check it in the morning and will probably do a second 500+ venting just to be sure.

Holding steady at 500 for 3 and a half hours now and no signs of any venting. I’ll just keep going until it runs out of fuel

Well I wasn’t sure that I would be able to get it in place today so I’m not really prepared to do any cooking. but tomorrow I will spatchcock a couple chickens while getting comfortable with temp control. Then next week I will stuff it with pork butts and the week after brisket 😁

In a total of 2 and a half hours the KK made it from my garage to the back yard and into place with a fire working it's way up to 500 for the venting process. I can't believe how easy the whole process is. Dennis sure makes it simple !!!! I did it by myself but my nephew did stop in for a minute to help me roll it off the skid. I started with a BGE about 8 or 9 years ago and within a couple years graduated to a Primo XL. But were excellent cookers but they just don't compare to the KK. I moved the Primo into the pictures just for comparison's sake in case someone is curious. The Tuscan Chef Pizza oven will stay but the Primo leaves tomorrow, my nephew will put it to good use The supervisor approved of my work, then went back in to sleep on the couch, way too hot out there for her lol

The rental company is still waiting for the last person to return the skid steer, it should have been returned already 🤬 oh well,I’m will call back in the morning. I’ll get it outside eventually lol

Well it is in the garage for right now, as soon as the rental company gets their skid steer back, later today or tomorrow. They are going to come over and move it to the back yard for me, save me the cost of renting it for the day so no unboxing today but I did take a few slats off to inspect before accepting delivery to say I’m thrilled would be a serious understatement 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Oh you can count on it, I didn’t have time to arrange for the skid steer but I will call about one first think in the morning. I’d like to get it into place before the rain starts. My 442 is in the shop right now getting a few upgrades so I can always leave it in the garage overnight if needed. And I have Friday off so I’ll have plenty of time to do a nice unboxing and venting, then have it ready for the weekend

I just got the call, mine is being delivered tomorrow 😁😁😁
