Re: New to the club! At 160 this morning when I checked it....

Re: New to the club! What a day yesterday!!!! The KK arrived around 5:00 pm and I quickly wheeled it around back to my back patio. Un-crated the thing and had it unwrapped and ready to go probably by 6:30 pm. Like many people have said before, AMAZING!!! As many photos as I have looked at I still was not prepared for the manner in which this thing is built! On with the first run. I will spare you all of the little details but lets just say this...I went to bed at midnight with the temp pinned at 225 and woke up at 7:00 am with the temp pinned at 225!!!!!! This thing is incredible!!!!!! And prior to midnight once I got it nailed at 225 it did not budge off unless i was messing with the controls. A few pics....I am rarely a man of few words but I was damn near speechless last night!!!!! If you have been on the fence like I was (for 2 years) get the hell off!!! (please excuse my poor quality photos as they were taken with my phone)

Re: New to the club! Wow, thanks for the very informative replies! I will be sure to post some pictures.

Well, after 2 years of being on the fence I cannot wait for my KK 19.5" to arrive tomorrow! Needless to say I will be putting it through the paces Thurs/Fri/Sat. Any first timer advice? I am thinking whole chickens Thurs, steaks Friday, parlayed into a low and slow pork butt started Friday night for Saturday dinner. This will be quite the change from my go to grill of a thai stove for the past 2+ years. Like a kid on xmas eve right now... Thanks, Keith
