very brave of you to be doing daytime grilling in this weather. even at night it's pretty intense..

30-day return policy if it doesn't work out...

huh, i never thought of threading the ambient probe through the tel-tru hole. i've always used the side port for grate level monitoring. i honestly don't need this gadget as my cooking on the KK has declined over the years (eating less meats, smaller appetite as i get older), but i like the ideal of turning the KK into a wireless cyborg. you're probably right about the convergence of grate and dome temp over time as things stabilize, i'm just waiting for someone to pull the trigger and test if this thing works as advertised..

if by tweaking, then making a longer stem just to satisfy 4 or 5 curious kk users will probably never happen…

their customer service got back to me on my questions. "The sensor tube for the GGG is 4mm x 86mm (0.16 x 3.39”)" this is a very short thermometer stem compared to the 5 inch tel-tru on the kk..

there are camping gear and baking shops concentrated in kwun tong sometimes carry wood chips, but it's still easier to order on amazon. if smoking pellets, they don't exist in hk. it's amazon only. i have tried to make pizza on the kk, but now mainly bake in an effeuno for single pies. it's not cost/time/fuel effecient to run a kk just to make one pizza. and you can't really do neopolitan or contemporary style in a kamado. yeah, Nova's is the Ooni shop. the beverage wholesaler i think is right across the street. i personally make my own pizza dough, so i don't bother buying it. Rossi's on Thai alley may sell pizza dough. He's also the only guy in town who does retail bbq (smoked), but I've never tried his food. there used to be a lot of western meat shops in SK town but they all closed. you gotta go to Aunew Food. It's the best place in town for chilled beef at the moment.

this is too weird. i've been living in sai kung or over 5 years. not in-town but near silverstrand. in that case, Tai Sun Canvas Awning in SK town definitely has wood chips. for lump charcoal in town besides Fusion, in See Chueng Street (cafe alley in sai kung), there is a beverage wholesaler that i've seen carry 50kg+ lump charcoal in these white bags. i've never sought to buy it myself but i think it's worth asking. i don't know the exact address, but if you look for a beverage wholeseller, you can't miss it on that little street. for meats in sai kung, there is a new shop on the corner of mcdonalds called Aunew Food +852 6061 9147. They sell a lot of nice sub-primals from australia. and since their opening, they are really cheap for chilled beef. if you go there, ask them to join their whatsapp group. beyond that, like packer briskets, whole bone in rib-eye racks, you will need to buy from restaurant suppliers like angliss. i have a few contacts if you want. however they need to ship to business addresses and you may need to present a BR. if you fancy japanese a4/a5, they are easily bought in frozen meat shops or this online shops.. for salmon, i only buy ora king salmon from a facebook shop called mode de vie. it only comes chilled direct from New Zealand. and general fish and seafood, i go to the boat pier in sai kung, nothing beats local caught and live. i don't remember much about my delivery besides paying some fees to the agent and truck delivery. it may have been easier for me to send it to my office, and then moving it up a flight of stairs at home was a PITA..

did you ship the KK from the US or have it shipped direct from Bali? lump is available in larger supermarkets in HK. park & shop, wellcome, they are of indonesia orgin, mostly. its fine to use. wood chips, order this on amazon. but you will also see them sold in shops that sell weber branded grills. if you see a shop that sells outdoor japanese storage cabins, they will probably carry weber products including chips. sai kung has a on the main road. horizon plaza in ap lei chau has shops that sells grill accessories.. wood chips, chunks, firewood, charcoal are cheap and abundant on taobao if you can navigate it and arrange the shipping. small propane bottles for torches may be available in an LPG gas shop. my problem is not really the consumables, but acquiring meats for western style bbq. we don't have costco and the wet market butchers don't deal with western cuts.

oh wow, a fellow kk owner from hk...

i see, your concern is because our tel tru is extremely long-stemmed. i was thinking of the stem diameter. i dunno, someone needs to spend the $$$ and report back to us..

some info from reddit

This setup replaces the dome thermometer (magnetic and removeable), the blower fan (now rechargeable and wireless), and wireless probes (900F limit). If getting the bundle, an extra thermometer, and port adapter, you're looking at a wireless setup in excess of over $600 USD. https://combustion.inc/pages/giant-grill-gauge

i thought rum and cook sold his 32 because he wasn't getting enough views or something, and now he has a 38?

@Tyrus this is my first time making south african food. someone gifted me boerewors, which is that coiled sausage. pap is a white corn polenta made into a creamed texture, the rice substitute over there. chakalaka is like a mix veg stew sauce.
