@Cheesehead_Griller Thats a great looking bark, looks delicious !!!!! Did you use the off set first for a heavier smoke on the cook ? Just curious.

Yes, smoked it on the offset first. 

I cooked a brisket over the weekend. I smoked it at 225F for four hours on the offset and then to the KK. I left it on the KK for 9 hours. It was ready at 8 AM at which time I put it in the cooler. We ate it for lunch. Was very good. I'll be doing that method again.

That topic has me thinking, could i use a second basket splitter in my 32 to just create a small fire in the center ?

Dennis and I are working on a solution. The prototype should've arrived to the USA in July. Due to Dennis injury, I have not reached out to discuss. Stay tuned. 

Best of luck Dennis! Godspeed in your recovery!

You can't use the food saver bags and hold them outside the chamber with the open end of the bag inside the chamber under the seal bar and vacuum and seal it that way? I've done it with my Avid Armor chamber - it's awkward but it works.

No, my chamber vac requires the bag and contents be inside the chamber. I can't use it like you described.

I’m definitely getting ready to order the JVR 100, just have to get shipping sorted for Canada.

I still have a Foodsaver(Titlia brand) that works that I could press into service if needed for long items.

Again thanks for the responses.

My recommendation is to buy some extra oil, filter, and bags. Don't waste your money on the small steel container set. If you can swing it buy the 3 gallon seal container. You can seal mason jars, marinate large chunks of meat, etc.  I will be buying the 3 gallon container very soon. 

I was a bit intimidated by an oil pump vac sealer. I just didn't want more shit to maintain. However, the performance metrics were so much better I took the plunge. So happy I did. The only drawback is the chamber size. I can't fit a full rack of ribs in mine. I borrowed my neighbors food saver to seal a rack of ribs this past weekend. That thing was junk. Another perk of the JVR Vac100 is the serviceability like others said. So easy to change the oil and access any part of the machine. 

I have the JVR Vac100 and love it. Use it ALL the time. I would highly recommend it. 

Nice! I'm glad it is up and running for you. 

Damn, I was hoping the software reset would fix it. 

Let us know what Fireboard says. As an owner, I'm interested to see how they handle warranty / customer service issues. 

https://docs.fireboard.io/troubleshooting/powertest.html#:~:text=To troubleshoot any potential power,should then start up normally.

Can you do a factory reset? If it is caused by a software issue with the BMS maybe that will fix it. The only variable we can try to change is software. If it is hardware you are SOL. My only other recommendation would be to change the wall plug / power supply. 

Are you using the OEM wall adapter and cord?

Look beautiful! Good job. 

Beautiful! Enjoy that Big Bad  

This will not be my last KK  

We are moving and I have to sell the 32. I'm disappointed but a fantastic housing opportunity came up that we couldn't pass. 

I have the following accessories for it:

• Baking Stone
• Cold Smoker
• Rotisserie Cradle
• 2 Covers - One for tables on and one for tables off
• Basket Divider
• Stainless Steel Tables

Let me know if you are interested and we can work out a price. I'm located 20 miles south of Green Bay. 

Good luck with the sale! You were my inspiration to buy a KK. I'm bummed to see you sell it for "clicks". 

Looks great! It will look even better with a KK under it  

If you place the KK a bit more to one side versus the other then you could get by with 12" of extra. If you want it centered I think it may be a bit too tight for ease of use. 

Something isn't right. Is there an issue with the gaskets? 

Welcome to the group! I look forward to seeing your setup. I have a 32" but strongly considered the 22" Beast on a mobile cart. Any ETA for delivery?

@David Chang Look no further....

I have one and love it. I was looking at the same brand you have and decided to step up a bit. So glad I did. 

Does anyone have a pic of the current design for the 32? There is no picture not he site. I'd like the see if there have been any changes. Thanks! 

My experience was similar to Nakedwiz regarding pellets. I didn't think the smoke flavor seemed very "natural" with the pellets. I also noticed the creosote coming out of the smoke generator. (Note, I was using Lumberjack Competition Blend pellets.) I am going to pick up some wood chips and try those. I'm hoping those provide a better flavor profile. I wish I could make the chips a bit smaller so they burn better. My only concern about chips is what others have stated about their troubles keeping them lit. 

Great idea! I must ask, what is with the tape on the side of your grill?
