  1. If your thermoworks says 270° ish, go with it. If you want more temp, open the top vent more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Based on Dennis's last post, it sounds like either would work. Maybe both? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Ha! I guess it depends on what kind of wood the building was made of. Supposedly, the smokers weren't damaged, mostly the kitchen equipment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Franklin BBQ in Austin partially burned in the early hours this morning, causing an estimated $350,000 in damage. Apparently it was an errant ember. No one was hurt, but the restaurant will be down for a while. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. What I don't know is whether the 22" tt is as deep as the 23", does it have all of the cooking levels. If they're equal from that standpoint, I'll say that I prefer the free standing from a maintenance standpoint. Moving the grill to clean the space, and the rare spring adjustment, or gasket replacement. I have a 23 and a 19 tt, so I've dealt with both types. From a pure cooking standpoint, one kk cooks like another. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. I meant to address this earlier. I'm a cyberq guy. I know there are the purists who say get to know your grill, but I'm a gadget guy, and I like my gadgets. Cyberqs work, pure and simple. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. I'm still going coco char over coffee lump. With coffee, that's your smoke flavor, period. With coco, you can add whatever flavor you're in the mood for. Plus the boxes are quite a bit smaller, easier to store. I find the rib rack a necessity, it eliminates the possibility of black or burnt bottoms. I have a double bottom drip pan, don't really use it much. I use a bernzomatic ts 8000 torch, it works great, or fire starter cubes if you're not in a time crunch. You have a great list, but the number one thing is already decided on, you're basically good to go. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Brisket is all day, or all night, depending on when you start. I do ribs at 275°, indirect, which is usually right at 4 hrs. Chicken can be much quicker, I like to do mine direct at about 350°, but that's not too critical. You can do it low/slo, but I prefer it otherwise. If you decide what you want to cook, it's easy to figure good ways to do it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. Your RJ appears to be in pretty good shape, plus I love your back drop! Get a kk, it'll make the background look much better. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Congrats! Get lots of coco char. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. Yep, that'll work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. What happened to the green one? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. Nice set up!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. I've said it many times. As much as I love all kk's, I still say the 23 has the best lines. Congrats on your grills. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I'm not sure, but I don't think anyone has bought one of each yet. I have two, as do others, there is a member, Frans I believe, that has three or four. Why not go for it??[emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. If you're using the basket splitter, you essentially double the airflow, which explains why the 32 heats faster. Put the splitter in the 23, now you're comparing apples again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I recommend bronze, it cooks better. [emoji41][emoji41] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. I used the smallest lift gate truck available, just sayin.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. If you're remotely considering a 32", get it, then get the 19" for smaller cooks if you like. I have a 23", and a 19", and I must say, while the 19" is a wonderful grill, it cannot compare to the versatility of the 23". The larger grills weren't available when I bought my 23", and I've built my outdoor kitchen around it, so bigger at this point for me isn't really an option. My point is that if bigger is a consideration, I say go with that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. There was a gas charcoal grill at one time, it was more of an experiment, I think there's a few production models, but for some reason they didn't work out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. Excellent article. He clearly has spent some time with this grill, and anyone who reads the article will understand that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I ask because Dennis said to contact him for info. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Is it ok to post this at the guru site? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. You can simply put chunks into you coals before adding food, but what often happens is that the fire burns in a different direction than the wood. You'll find when cooking on a kk that very little coal is used, which means there really isn't much fire at all, so your food gets less smoke flavor than a stick burner will give you. The cast iron pot is what I have gone to. A two quart cast iron Dutch oven with three 1/16" holes drilled in the bottom, put your chunks in the pot, the pot directly into the fire. This gives a good, clean smoke profile. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
