So, it looks like the 30" width at the feet is wider than the middle, even with rotisserie motor attached. I think I'll add a couple inches on either side, go with a 34" opening. Depth isn't as important a concern, as the KK will just roll into the space, and nothing will be in front of it. Thanks for drawing and advice.

Nope, no side tables.

Hello everyone, We are building a pool/lanai and outdoor kitchen. It will be a fairly simple thing: an L-shape, with one side against the back wall of my garage, and the L extending out from the wall, to serve as a bar. The 8 feet of counter space against the wall of my garage is to be split, to allow space for my 23" Ultimate. I was hoping someone here can tell me how much space I need between sections of countertop to accommodate my KK. I need space for my OneGrill rotisserie motor. I see on the product page for the 23" Ultimate, that the total width is 30". The rotisserie motor bracket extends 1.5" from the side of the KK, and the OneGrill motor is 2" wide. What I am not sure of, is if I need to add that width to the 30" and make a gap of 34.5" to 35", or if that 30" width is at the wheels, and I can go with a smaller, say 31" gap. ;TLDR version is: What size gap between sections do I need to fit a 23" Ultimate with rotisserie motor attached? Thank you all for your help! Keith

Of course I know! I have many (but not all of them - yet) of those upgrades, but there's always that feeling when I see a picture of a shiny new KK with all the new bells and whistles…it's kinda like that feeling when I was a kid, looking through the Sears "Wish Book" catalog at Christmas…

I “regret” buying my KK every time Dennis makes an update/upgrade to the design! Every innovation Dennis has made since 2009 makes me say, “I want thaaaaaaat!” Then, I go outside, look at mine, maybe touch the tiles, and I’m happy again, because I know that the only cooker on the planet that’s better than mine is the newest one Dennis has built. And I can live with owning the top 1%. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah, if only I had searched this forum instead of Google, I would have known! After my Google search, I thought, "isn't bacon wonderful enough without making it psychotropic?"

Great looking bacon! I just cooked my first batch two weeks ago, using Chris Lilly’s hickory smoked maple black pepper bacon recipe. Looking forward to trying another with a less sweet profile. Can someone tell me what purple crack is? I googled it, and found that it is a strain of cannabis. Are these the seeds used on your bacon?

All good advice. We pay extra on both of our mortgages, knocking down principle at a faster rate. A few years ago, we refinanced the house that is now a rental, going from a 30-yr fixed to a 15-yr fixed with a lower payment. We had already been paying more than required on the 30, and just keep paying that much on the 15. The new mortgage is a bit bigger, and refinancing isn't an option right now, but we are doing larger payments. I need to look into doing 2x/month payments to see if that is better than what we are doing now.

My wife and I were debt-free, with the exception of a mortgage, from 2007-2014. It was wonderful! There were trade-offs, of course, like my 2004 truck and my wife's 2000 Subaru, which broke down at regular intervals. Then, last year, we finally decided to buy a new car. And as if that weren't enough, we then went and bought a new house. And if THAT weren't enough, we didn't sell the old house (but we rent it). Now we have one car payment and two mortgages - but other that that, we're totally debt-free!

Tony B, thanks for the welcome back! I have never been a prolific poster, but I had let my KK sit unused for quite some time, and strayed from the forum as well. Life gets in the way sometimes - work, bought a new house, moving, etc., etc., etc. Anyway, I've been back at it, cooking on my KK at least once/week since May. I've had to go back and look at some of my old recipes to remember time/temp on some stuff! I probably won't get to use the Anova until after this weekend, but some things I'm very excited to try are flank steak, rib eye, pork tenderloin, and fish. Any tips or tricks that any of you guys have for those items or any others will be welcomed! Bryan, sorry to threadjack. Looking forward to sharing SV info with y'all!

What is the temp/time to sear the flank? Do you let it cool before searing, so the internal temp doesn't go too high? Asking now because I ordered the Anova Precision, and flank steak is my favorite cut, so I intend to combine the two.

Simply run the wire over the lip of the dutch oven with the lid on. It doesn't need to be airtight, and the weight of the lid is not enough to crimp or sever the wire. I copied/pasted this recipe from a BGE forum. The link is long since gone, but until I edited out the offensive references to any ovoid ceramic cooker last week, the recipe was word-for-word as I found it. The first time I did this recipe, I followed it exactly. The next time, I didn't bother placing the bacon on the bottom of the DO, as it overcooked, and I had a lot of scrubbing to do to get the stuck bits off the bottom. It has been awhile since I've done this recipe, but it came out awesome each time. Now I'm thinking it might be time to pick up some chuck roasts...

Re: North or South Carolina better for CoCo Warehouse? When will CoCo be in the warehouse, and can we pick up there? I'll be in Charleston in July, and wouldn't mind making a pickup of 10-15 boxes.

Re: Thoughts/pros/cons of adding Tapatalk support? I still don't see the KK forum in Tapatalk. Is the installation of the plugin complete, or is the problem on my end? Thanks, Keith

I know that the issue of adding the Tapatalk plug-in to the forum was brought up back in 2010, when the look of the forum changed, but there was never any official (at least that I can find) Yea or Nay. It would be very convenient for me, as I travel quite a bit, and can access the forum from only my phone at least 50% of the time. Does anyone here have any strong opinions, pro or con, about Tapatalk? Dennis, is this something you would consider adding to the forum? Thanks, Keith
