Exactly, overshoot is not your friend with lo/slo's. You'll learn your vent settings for given temps to the point that if you're not in a hurry, you can light your fire, set your vents, and walk away. Robert

The problem came when you tried to cool it down. As massive as that grill is, it still takes an amazingly small amount of coal to get to 325°. Getting it down to 250°, with both vents closed, you've put your fire out, it's just taking that much mass a while to cool. You can hold low temps no problem, you're just gonna have to stop on the way up. Robert

It won't be as drastic, the kk is so well insulated, once it's soaked, there's not much heat differential at low temps. There's also another grate that can be used either on the firebox, or as a grate above the upper grate. Wilbur posted a pic where he did just that, with great success. Robert

The only reason I can imagine using the rear door is for the gas burner. As Dennis says, this isn't practical for lo/slo's. I find opening the front vents fully, and opening the top vent fully gets hot as fast as I want, and because mine is somewhat recessed, I wish that door wasn't there. Robert

I don't have pics, but a good friend has the bronze nebula tweed. It's striking!! It's not near as blingy as the bronze, so if you're worried about safe, you're fine. Robert

Mine bubbled, and liquid dripped. I just kept pushing the tiles back in place as it cooled, and I've never added any grout. Robert

Welcome.....to the dark side!!!! Robert

Hello Rak!!! Careful, all ya have to do is supply the tiles, Dennis will fix ya up!! Robert

Ya ready for some more?? Robert

I'm with tiny, I gotta go polish..... Robert

It's amazing when less is more just jumps out at you. Robert

HEY!! Don't be spreadin rumors!!! Robert

Rider, I have a 19" table top, it's very capable. I went with it because I had already designed the spot in my outdoor kitchen for an egg I already had. When I was finishing up, there was no way I was letting an egg share the same space as my bronze 23", so I got the 19" table top. Now, if you're building space, or if I had to do it over again, I would have a free standing something, and not a table top. It's a great grill mind you, but two free standing grills is what I would prefer. Robert

I do, the 19", and a 23". I love them both. Robert

I have a tabletop 19", you're gonna be very surprised at how much you can cook on it. Beautiful!!! Robert

All kk's are show stoppers!! Robert

Ok, we're ready!!!!! Robert

Yeah, the solvents during the burn in remind me of the new car smell. Robert

Bosceaux, you better hope those grills get shipped soon. 😜😜😜 Robert

We bettin on a delivery date? Robert

Well, might as well get a rib rack! Robert

NO ONE can resist the power of the Dark Side!!!! Robert

Yeah, I keep telling him I've never heard of buyers remorse once the grill is delivered! Robert

Yeah, go to the kk website, galleries, tile colors. That's every tile color available. The grill store section is a good place to look also. Robert

Stick to your plan Bosceaux. Robert
