This is an adjustment that doesn't require anything to be removed, so don't worry about messing anything up. Do it with the lid up though! Robert

Beautiful grill!! The latch is a common problem, don't fret. As long as the latch isn't "difficult" to close, I wouldn't mess with it, it will loosen a bit with time. Robert

Time for his/hers grills!! Robert

Bosceaux, this is a great example of why not to change your mind mid stream!! The agony!! Robert

No whining!!! Robert

Bosceaux ain't right...this is the part that killed me!! Robert

I cook my briskets, and most everything else for that matter, at 275°. I think you'll be very happy with your results. I'm also curious as to what will end up being your vent issue, but rest assured, Dennis will take care of you. Robert

The probes will bend, just do it carefully. Robert

I guess my suggestion is pretty much what you gathered, light small, and be patient. With a kk, time is on your side. If I'm cooking in the morning, I'll light the night before. Always start with a full basket of coal, and you have these options. Robert

That's gonna be one slick set up! Robert

Bronze! Bronze! Bronze!! Robert

Stop it!!! Robert

Yeah, there's a fine line between too closed and too open Robert

I tend to close my top vent to the point that the fan has to run about 30% of the time or the fire goes out. This prevents temp runaways Robert

Well, in the southern tradition, cane syrup, or honey would be the preferred accompaniment, but pure maple will do. Butter is just a given. Real butter. Butter good. Robert

Yeah, but you're a way better cook than average. No biggie. Robert

Wilbur?!! You've never heard of cat head biscuits? Robert

Burnt ends are meat crack..😎😎😎 Robert

Dennis, I take it you coat the pieces with mustard, then rub, then cook? Robert

For those that don't already know, Dennis was in the wood business before the grill business! Robert

I just re read your first post, and my question is, are you considering a 23/19 combo, or a 32 alone, or a 32/something combo? If it's the 32 alone, I'd have to go with the 23/19 combo, which is what I have. The combo obviously gives more space, and versatility, but a 32/something combo, well, that's really cool!!! I LOVE the bronze by the way! Resistance IS futile, and NO ONE can resist the POWER of the Dark Side!!! I love that, two sci-fi references in one sentence!! Robert

Another question is how often do you grill large amounts? The extra real estate on the 32 is very nice for that. Otherwise, a 23 will accomplish just about every other task beautifully. Robert

Tick toc, tick toc. Robert

Call Dennis with questions, this is where superior customer service comes in. Robert
