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 😁😁😁

Great job Oscar !!!!

I love my thermapen, I’d be lost without it

Thank you, I am doing one 7/1, it is my first day of retirement so need to cook something a little special. I appreciate you sharing all the details. It gives me a fighting chance at success lol

Looks great !!!!!! So you only flipped it skin side down long enough to sauce it then flipped it right back skin side up ?

Congrats Kosh, looking forward to pictures when it arrives.

Beautiful setup !!!!!!!

Can’t wait to see this one !!!!!!

NICE !!!! Looking forward to seeing pictures of that beast !!!!

Mine is going to NJ also and I was told I would be called around 6/2 to arrange final delivery

the motor just showed up

Yes it does, i got mine too lol

I sent an update request this morning. I am being told it will arrive in NJ on 5/31 and I should get a call by 6/3 to schedule final delivery

So Clear Lane Freight has your’s ? There is no ETA on my BOL and no results for the same BOL on their web site. I’ll call them tomorrow.

I’m going to try and wait patiently for the shipping company to contact me. I’m 30 miles south of Boston so I know it won’t be here any time soon. But I know it is on the way so I’m happy 😁

No expected ETA on my BOL and I can’t get any results on the carriers web site so I’ll give them a call tomorrow. I’d like to get an idea of when it will get here so I can schedule the skid steer rental. I’m not going to screw around with plywood and a pallet Jack. For a few hundred bucks I’ll get it moved to where I need it nice and easy 😁

Is it strange that I am still tracking that ship even though my Komodo is off loaded and on it's way to me lol

Good point, i was so excited about getting my shipping information I didn't check that first lol
