Interesting how the color changed with the change in sunlight angle. Cool.

At $5, it probably isn't adjustable anyway? Is there a nut on the back that can be loosened and the shaft turned to adjust the dial?

Nice, MacKenzie (even with the ketchup! )

LOL!! It'll do in the interim. Did you check it in boiling water to test its accuracy?

I've got Prime with Amazon, so I get Free 2 day shipping. The shipping at Home Depot is $5.99, so Amazon turns out to be about a buck fifty cheaper. Done - will be here on Sunday (and yes, Amazon delivers on Sunday. They are amazing, just wait til the delivery by drones start!!)

No, but I've owned 2 of their Thermapen instant read thermometers and they are excellent. I'd say go for it, as they don't do open box sales very often.

Never had that problem, but I usually just single click in the reply box near the middle.

Something like this one? http://www.amazon.com/Klein-Tools-JTH6M5BE-Ball-End-Journeyman/dp/B005G3959S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456347062&sr=8-2&keywords=5mm+allen+wrench

Excellent steak, Wilbur! Interesting how you've settled into using the Main grate. I use basically the same technique, except on the Lower grate, for most steak cooks. I use the Sear grate when I've done the steak sous vide first and just want a quick sear on the outside. Just goes to show how flexible the KK is for achieving great results.

Nicely done, Charles!

Great deal and you lucked into the best color choice, too (IMHO, owning a dark autumn nebula myself!)

I've not experienced this spiking when opening the lid. In fact, just the opposite, the dome temperature drops because of all the heat you've let out when you hold open the lid. Hence, the old BBQ'ers saying, "If your looking, you ain't cooking!"

Excellent, can't wait to hear how it comes out, Rak!

Great, now you upgrade after all the blood that I've shed using a standard allen wrench! Any chance us older KK owners can get one of these handy tools, Dennis??

Welcome to the Obsession! You're in for a fantastic ride! As noted, Pictures, man, Pictures!! It's your initiation ritual to join "the Club!"

Welcome and congratulations on your find! Here's a picture of my 23" KK with the sunbrella cover on. It call it a burqa for obvious reasons!

Yes, we're all eagerly awaiting which tile style and color you chose. And, we expect pictures upon arrival and that all important virgin cook!!!

We all can't wait to see it in action! PICTURE, my man, PICTURES!!

Not for ribs, Dennis. I have a couple of sauce recipes, but they are for pulled pork - North Carolina vinegar/black pepper and South Carolina mustard. Normally don't sauce my ribs. Given where you live, I'd start with some sweet chili sauce, then add your favorite dry rub to it, with a splash of rice vinegar and some ketchup.

Went to a Daytona 500 party yesterday. Great finish to the race! Helped my buddy do a full packer cut brisket and we used the point to make a batch of burnt ends for the party. He has a pellet smoker. Did a nice job on the meat, but I couldn't help but shake my head at how inefficient it was - it wasn't insulated at all and leaked smoke out of everywhere.

Great Burger, MacKenzie! Assuming it was your bacon? Plus, love that you grilled the onion, too!!

Cookie, my older one (6 or 7 years old) started doing something similar. I had to take out the battery and re-insert it for it to come on. It worked fine otherwise. That unit went to the brewing room, where it doesn't get used very often. I ended up buying another one, when they went on sale, for the kitchen.

Welcome to the Obsession! You won't regret the buying decision once you make it. This IS the best ceramic grill out there. You're on the right path by reaching out to Dennis. He can answer any question that you can come up with.

Looks like you've gotten it down pretty good. The lemongrass will make a big improvement over the lemon rind, too. I'd prefer mine with a bit more heat, so some chilies (serrano or red Thai chile) or sriracha would be a nice addition.

Nice job, Charles and the pics are super!
