I did give him a call but he had a message that he’s traveling through Europe but will be checking messages periodically. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I noticed the recessed receptacle on the left is spring loaded. I was surprised when I stuck the the adjustable screw piece with the nut I was able to press in. But then I have no piece to use on the motor side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I only have 2 pieces that fit into the end of my rotisserie. Am I missing one? One is very pointy which I assume is used to skewer. The other is a round cylinder with a nut which slides into the left side. Should I have a piece for the right side that fits into the hole by the motor? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow...that all looks amazing. The pork belly is candy!

"Oregon Country" tomahawk ribeye from Town & Country grocery tonight. First steak on my 32" KK and this one was definitely worthy. Fantastic marbling made it super juicy. And a really thick cap. Coarse kosher salt and garlic seasoned for the dry brine for about 3 hrs. Adds fresh cracked pepper once I brought it out of the fridge to warm up a bit. Did a reverse sear baking it at 300F dome temp (using the half grate on main grilling level) to an internal temp of 120F. Pulled it off and let it rest while vents were opened up wide. Once the coals were ripping seared it on the lower grate for 1.5 min each side (rotating @ 45 sec). Wife and I agreed that it was right up there with the best I've made. Seasoning, crust, and done-ness were all perfect for our preferences. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, an idea for a standing thread. Komodo Kamado and Patio Design Examples. When I was trying to figure out how to integrate the KK into a BBQ island or outdoor kitchen, I was struggling finding much here on the forum. There were a few threads of people with their outdoor kitchen design but it would be good to have a dedicated section with a wider array of examples to see what people have done with the grills and how they've implemented them on their patio and/or BBQ islands and kitchens. The contractors, at least the ones I was dealing with, are not used to designing for a KK. There's all kinds of stuff to integrate BGEs and Kamado Joes easily into BBQ islands. They had concern that if a void was left for the KK to roll into that they'd have to do a countertop waterfall (basically have the granite countertop run down the sides of the cabinets in the void vertically) to shield from the heat. I told them that with the amount of insulation this has, heat is not likely going to be a huge issue. Though I didn't have the experience to know how hot it gets up to when doing a pizza or something. In the end, the KK will stand alone off one of ends of the U-shaped BBQ island which is fine. That way it's easier to admire!

I was wanting to do something that would show off why I got the KK in the first place. Trying to do a brisket on the PK360 was always a PITA but I've been able to do a few on it that turned out decent. I felt comfortable enough with temp control since the basic idea was the same with the PK360. Obviously with the KK just got to be aware of letting the temp get away more. Which it kind of did when I had the grill open for a bit too long at the start. Next time I'll make sure I'm more prepared to get the drip pan in before the brisket! haha. That error made me fiddle around with it more than I should have at the beginning causing temps to shoot up. The brisket turned out well though, but always room for improvement. Needed more seasoning as the bark was a bit plain tasting. And I always stress when trimming. I did fat side down but I think I'll try fat side up next time. With it down, it got super mushy on that side. But it does look nice on camera. The pavers look fantastic and we're really happy. Although I'm a bit worried we went overboard with the amount of border haha. Probably paid for it. But that being said, it does make it look fantastic so no regrets. Once the BBQ island is installed it's really going to look polished. Though it will cover up a good portion of the pavers that are laid at a 45 deg which looks so cool under the deck unfortunately.

I actually received my 32" Autumn Gold Pebble KK almost a couple months ago now. I had wanted it held at the warehouse until my patio was completed but some communications got crossed up there and it went out the door and arrived early! Not such a bad thing I guess. But it just had to be stored in my garage while the patio was being done. The driveway was also cluttered with pallets of pavers and stone. The whole patio remodel was done with receiving the KK in mind. Otherwise it would have been extremely difficult to get back there. So the timing of the grill purchase and patio was great. We also just had the deck redone over the patio with a TimberTech Dryspace installed which will help with grilling year round here in the Puget Sound area. Below are pictures of the the patio work, arrival of the KK, and the KK in it's resting place! I've just gotten some outdoor cabinets from NatureKast on order for a BBQ island that will go under the deck. Unfortunately it's an 8 week lead time but at least I can cook now!

Some dedication there! What a picture, look at that snow!

I hope that’s not Private Gomer Pyle

That looks amazing. Will have to bookmark the technique for when I try one at some point. I'm currently waiting for my grill arrival and I went with the rotisserie spit and forks option. I'm thinking I should maybe switch it up and just go with the basket w/ reducer instead. Probably nice not having to skewer and punch a big hole through the middle especially for presentation purposes.

I posted this in the WA state charcoal share thread but posting here too for visibility... I'll be doing an order to have delivered with my grill to Mukilteo, WA. If anyone would like to add some boxes to that order let me know. There would be little cost for shipping. My grill is in the Las Vegas warehouse waiting for my patio to get finished so I expect the grill and charcoal to arrive sometime around the end of May, beginning of June. Maybe a PNW KK unboxing party while you pick up your CoCo char???? 😃 -Nick

Just updating WA state area people that I'll be doing an order to have delivered with my grill to Mukilteo. If anyone would like to add some boxes to that order let me know.

There's your winning lottery ticket!

I thought Dennis sent you mine that is on order! Looks great to see a picture of the same model and tile selection as mine. Looks fantastic. Had to double check the AU# 😃

I'm in the Seattle area and I'd be interested.

Good Afternoon All, I have my 32" Autumn Pebble on order and I just noticed that Dennis mentioned that there is some Co-Co Char incoming. I live in Mukilteo and would definitely be interested in getting in on an order if anyone is looking to get some! )
