two racks of back ribs, chicken thighs, sausages, corn on the cob, pull all of this off heat up the KK and cook a ribeye. for sides my wife has made an excellent slaw, deviled eggs, watermelon, honeydew, cold beers and some good friends to help us enjoy the day.

Wanted to say thanks to Dennis for such a quality product and to all the friendly forum members on the site. My KK arrive in perfect condition and as you all know Dennis was extremely helpful throughout the purchasing / Q & A / shipping process. Other than some pretty heavy rain on delivery day everything went very smooth, the only glitch i ran into was my wife refused to let me bring it into the bedroom with us that 1st evening. I will post pics as soon as i can.

pics Thanks for the pic help, im not much for playing with the computer so it take me a while to figure these things out. I will give it a try.

thanks Tcoliver and Conodo12, thanks for the assistance, it was time to start cooking so i just figured if it melts i will clean it up, The first cook went extremely easy, i was expecting a bit of a learning curve on the ceramic, loaded it full of lump lit 4-5 pieces in the chimney, when it got to 200 i started closing the dampers using what i knew from other cookers and had it settle at 225, stayed there for approx 4 hrs then it spiked to 230 for the last 2 hrs of cooking. once at 225 temp i never touched the dampers. Its amazing, i burned approx 2 lbs of lump, royal oak. Wife was taking pics, i just need to figure out how to get them on here.

plug Conodo, not having any luck with the pic i will need to wait for my teenage daughter for some assistance

plugs They are way to small for the guru port, It is the hole for the temp probe to pass thru, just dont know if i should leave it in during cooks or not, gonna make the first cook today, ribs, i wont be needing a temp probe for this. so...the question is leave it in or take it out. I will try to post a pic

you are right The pics on the site are good, but not as good as having it in your possession. i have a bit of work to do this morning and will get her fired up early afternoon for some spares that are trimmed, rubbed and waiting in the fridge.

thanks Conodo12, i will try to get some pics posted, the unit came with a rubber plug in the KKooker just forward of the roti, bracket mounting hardware, i assume this is for a temp probe. the KK also came with 2 extra plugs. I'm not sure what they are for or the purpose. all help is appreciated Dennis, haven't cooked on it yet and i already love it

KK Gen II, Levi Blue arrived this afternoon in a blinding rain storm, well maybe not blinding, but it made things miserable for myself and the truck driver. ITS BEAUTIFUL!!. Buddy of mine got rained out and came by to help, he stood on the porch and gave some pretty sarcastic moral support and encouragement as i was unbolting the crate in the rain. Looking forward to some ribs tomorrow. The extra plugs?, leav'em in? will they take the heat?

LP, cant believe you haven't cooked on it yet. Mines not here and i have the bag of lump already open

thanks LP, bought some spares this evening for the first cook, hopefully i can figure out how to post a pic or two

cant wait, probably wont sleep tonight, at the end of our new screened patio project, cabinet tops go in on saturday. Coming together. Still a bit of work to do, but the sweet smell of Q should keep me working. HA, I am excited.

atbs FM, dont want you to lose your girlish figure but they are tasty

princess Princess, good jab, i think im bruised, wouldnt want to be any where else but the HOW

read the recipes for atbs, i like to finly chop onion and garlic to mix with the cream cheese, put a little in the pepper and 1 or 2 of the little bitty salad shrimps, top off with cream cheese, bacon wrap

Im pretty damned excited, will set the pad and lay the tile this weekend for her permanent home. I wanted the pebble tiles but i live in the HOW (house of women) and was over ruled.

thanks thanks T Rex, as i read thru the forum it looks like i need to get on board with the program and list my new beauty. 23" GenII ultimate Levis Blue.

thanks conodo12, i am super excited, thinking ribs and a butt for the first cook, she should be here in a couple of weeks

Pulled the trigger and joined the club of 2K owners. I have ordered a Gen II Levi blue, and according to the rules I had to go thru to get here its probably not acceptable to truly state how excited I am about this purchase. I am glad to be here and will surely have a lot of questions and am looking forward to learning bigger, better, grander, extreme, Q cooking on the KK. Dennis, you replied to email in a couple of hours, but the personal phone call to me at 3:30 AM Bali time is over the top. IMPRESSIVE. WOW, I was ready to order the unit as soon as the conversation ended. Thank you. I can almost taste it now
