Congrats on your grill, you're gonna love it! Personally, the 23's are my favorite from an aesthetic standpoint. Bruce is correct, we really love seeing delivery and unpacking pics, they're actually required [emoji41][emoji41]. The burn in process is no biggie, we've all done it. When you get ready, there'll be plenty of helpful tips for you, if you want them. My word of advice is patience, you have to allow the external shell of the grill to get to temp, that simply takes time. There is absolutely no "need" for a controller. Did I mention that I love my controllers? I have the cyberq, and it appeals to my tech side, plus I'm a bit lazy. I enjoy being able to adjust temperatures from my device, and I enjoy being able to monitor meat temps as they progress. I also suggest you look at a flame boss 300. I haven't used one, but the reviews are great, plus it has a much more friendly user interface. Beautiful table, you have a great gift. I can't wait to see your new grill next to it!!

It's interesting you mentioned a grenade, there was a post where a grill looked exactly like that, the guy was still cooking on it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No, they're not necessary at all. That said, I love mine. The extra control and monitoring capability appeals to both my anal and tech sides of my personality. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

All kk's come equipped and ready to go. The only thing they don't actually come with is charcoal, and something to cook. Extras may include a rib rack, side tables, rotisserie, and I highly recommend coco char. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

There's also a gallery of grills at home on the kk website. Lots of great pics. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Maybe so, but I bet Darth Vader is much less maintenance. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Pay per view maybe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya know, that wouldn't be impossible for Dennis to come up with a kk version of that. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Aw, shucks y'all!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's called burping. Open the lid a bit to allow air in and equalize. I suppose opening the vents would do the same thing, I'm guessing you'd want to open the top first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The curved side is up, with the lip fitting under the fire ring. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been watching this from the beginning. When I saw the before and after pics, that really put it in perspective. Really nice job! I see you've already figured out how great a kk is as far as control, so I say get after it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What was your team name? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes, I'm using the solid deflector, but over time, small amounts of ash make it to the door. It's a maintenance item for me to occasionally remove the door, clean the inside of the door and clean the frame itself with a wire brush. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey Dennis, what about something similar for the main draft door? I very rarely open mine other than the vents, and that's to clean the ash that fallen in there blocking the door from sealing well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yep, I trim the same way, I was taught by Johnny Trigg. I don't trim the fat cap at all, it always goes down. I don't bother seasoning the fat cap either. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have a 23" and a 19", both in bronze, (the only real color[emoji41][emoji41]). The 19" is more capable than 90% of Kamados out there, the only others are other kk's. whatever color you pick, you're gonna love it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I aggressively trim my briskets, I trim all the hard fat I can, except for the actual fat cap, that goes down. I don't believe you get any moisture benefit from external fat, as meathead says, fat can't swim upstream. Yours looks excellent, I wouldn't go changing much, if anything.

All your grills are spectacular. I have to say though, with all the design innovations, the old flagship 23" is still my personal favorite. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
