Depending on what you like to cook - or think you'd like to cook on the KK, typical accessories that folks get are: pizza stone, rotisserie rod/basket (motor is separate from One Grill), second charcoal basket with the basket splitter, double bottom drip pan, and depending upon your climate and if the KK will be exposed - a cover. The other big option is on the custom cabinets and/or side tables - standard teak wood or stainless steel top.

Glad you did a "grillus interruptus" and pulled out at the last minute! You are going to be blown away once you start cooking on whichever model/size you pick over what you've been using before. As noted, most of us here are severely biased and passionate about these grills. They don't get any better!! Like others have said, call Dennis. He's wonderful and so helpful in helping you make the right choice of grill AND accessories to go with it. The hardest part of the decision will be to pick the color and tile style. Most importantly, when you order, get as many boxes of the Extruded Coconut and Coffee wood Charcoals & smoking wood as will fit on your pallet with your grill. It will be the cheapest you'll ever get it.

Well, I did the Purple Crack ribs yesterday. I split a rack of baby backs in half - each got smeared with CYM, one half got a mix of Purple Crack, granulated roasted garlic and brown sugar; the other half got Oakridge BBQ Competition Rub. Here's the Purple Crack ribs out of the fridge before going onto the KK @ 225F with smoker pot of pecan and peach woods for 4 1/2 hours. Done. Side by side with the Oakridge, so you can still see the purple color even after they were cooked. Had a buddy over for dinner to help taste test this experiment. We both liked the Purple Crack ribs better. Sorry, no plated shots, but we had corn on the cob, too. I think it came from FL. It was OK for early season corn, but I live for the "home grown" stuff that will be ready in July. Breakfast (aka Brekkie) this morning was Purple Crack hashbrowns, with some cut up Purple Crack rib meat, and a couple of fried eggs on top, dusted of course with more Purple Crack. Did I happen to mention that this sh!t is addictive??

I'm with the two of you. My "go to" is beer (Hey, I'm a homebrewer after all!), but I do enjoy a good whiskey - bourbon, rye, or single malt scotch, either neat or on a single large rocks if it's cask strength. And, I swill a lot of wine with meals. My only regular cocktails are bloody mary's, margaritas and G&Ts (which I live on during the summers!).

Is this like an E ticket ride at Disney? Looking forward to the adventure.

We tell people all the time about how moist chicken stays on the KK, but seeing/tasting is believing! Care to share your recipe, please?

I have the canisters (came with the original pump as a giant box set of "everything"), but opted to use the bags instead. I don't think that I've ever used the canisters??

See, Purple Crack does make your eggs purple! Mine didn't look quite so purple this morning, as they were scrambled, but the color was still there!

Looks like a picnic at ChezChef!

Well done, indeed!

I did likewise. I was using these FoodSaver bags. Put up mostly 4oz (Dime) bags, but a few 2 oz (Nickel) bags, too. Filled the grinder, then used what was left to make the Purple Crack pepper salt. I like these bags for putting up spices, rubs, etc. because it's a roll and you can make them as big (or small) as you need.

Oh, Hell-yall-yeah - I'd eat that!

Sweet. Looks seriously tasty. So, I was pretty close. I like planked salmon; plus I have alderwood chips from Fruita woods for cold smoking. I eagerly await the Copper River salmon every summer. Surprisingly, my local market gets it, Yes, here in Iowa. Nothing better!

OK, besides what kind of salmon, what's in the stuffing - crab, rice, red onion, parsley (chervil?)

OMG - I just pissed my pants!!!

What a bunch of gear heads! Here's the only "sweet ride" that I ever owned - '75 Jensen Healey. Internet photo, but mine was the same color. I would have to seriously dig into boxes of old photos to find a picture of mine. Very fun car to drive, but what a serious PITA to work on. Even simple tasks like oil changes and tune-ups were very hard. And, then there was the issue of getting parts. It was basically an Triumph, but with a Lotus racing engine that was designed to be used once or twice on the track and not maintained! This car was the quintessential definition of "money pit!" I put as much money into it for maintenance (major motor overhauls - 2 of them!), as I paid for the car initially.

I can see how that works, because as we all know, even after 3 days sitting out, this stuff can't go bad - it already started out that way!

The rest of the world has been asking that same question for decades!!

Me, too!!!

So glad to hear that! I just hope I wrote down the recipe for what I did for your version, so I can recreate it later if you want more. I was just basically wingin' it from the base recipe to tone down the heat.

OK, now you've got me. Had been holding out on the forks, but now with the skewer option, I'm sold. But first, gotta score the rotisserie rod from Dennis.

Dude, that's just sick! I'd be so into that! Never done lamb chops for breakfast before, just pork chops and chicken-fried steak.
