I have a 23”, and a 19”, which roughly translates to a 32”, but not really. Like Tucker, the 23” was the biggest available when I bought mine. I believe a 32” would suit your needs, but there’s a lot of people that will tell you get the biggest one you can, you won’t be sorry. I’m a tile guy, but that’s truly personal preference, except for the fact that the bronze tiled ones cook the best. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The other option is to just have some lump handy. Personally, I think you’re good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats on your grill! You’re gonna love it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Very nice! I tried an usuba, but I never got the hang of it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Who’s the knife manufacturer? I’ve been down the knife rabbit hole, and my curiosity never ends. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Fresh reds with the scales left on, butter, liquid crab boil, and Tony’s. Waddya got? Redfish on the half shell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats on the 42! I can only imagine what a beast it must be. When you say stoker, I’m guessing you mean controller? Many will tell you you don’t need one, you don’t. That said, I love my cyberq, it gives incredible peace of mind, it allows you to be lazy on overnight cooks, and it scratches my gadget itch. Yes, I do recommend cyberq over the others. I haven’t used a flameboss, but I did try a fireboard, which requires an $80 adapter cable to use a fan. It didn’t maintain temps well at all, and I’ve been using my cyberq for years.

As I stated in the other thread, congrats on your grill, but are you aware that this is the Komodo Kamado forum? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Uhh, guys, while it’s great that you’re enjoying your new grills, are you aware that this is the Komodo Kamado forum? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I believe you can. The two zone set up in the 23 will give the results you’re looking for easily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is your wife’s preference more or less done? The 23 is perfectly capable of zone cooking, especially if you’re just dealing with two steaks. The 32 does have some design features that make zone cooking easier if you’re cooking more proteins, so consider how much you’re likely to cook at a given time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you put the brisket on before you go to bed, you’ll likely be past wrapping point by the time you get up. Temperature rise in a large protein cook isn’t linear, you’ll get to the stall point much more quickly than you think. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you’re going to wrap, 150°-155° is kinda early. Are you using foil? If you want bark, (I love bark), you really shouldn’t wrap until closer to 165°-170°. Wrapping also shortens cook time. I’m not trying to mess with your plan, but you have a prime brisket on a kk, have you considered no wrap? Just cook it straight through until it jiggles, roughly 200°.

I’m not going to say don’t get it, but I know of very few that do. The gas door can sometimes be a source of air, it can work open a bit and cause temp control problems because it’s somewhat out of sight. There’s a kit to close it somewhat permanently available. You’re getting into a whole new world with a kk, so you might consider sticking with what you know you’ll use. The gas burner can be purchased at any time, and I suggest using your grill first, and buy the burner after the fact, if you think you want it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don’t believe the 32 is simply “better”. It’s bigger, and some say the 2 zone cooking is better, but the 32 isn’t simply “better”. All kks are built with the same materials, same quality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took a class from Johnny Trigg a few years ago. It was informative and interesting, but I mostly learned I don’t like competition bbq. These guys cook mostly on stick burners, but I’ve seen Harry Soo cook on a bullet smoker. They’re entertaining enough, but by no means are they the only way to do things.

He’s so used to regular grills and kamados, he never gets used to kk lids..he’s always looked out of whack with opening and closing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Tony, you have liked my post about wanting to switch about 12 times... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gee, thanks... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Personally, I think the move was manufactured just so another grill could be bought. Good plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
