Congrats! Regardless of which model, you're gonna love your KK when it finally arrives! Now the hard part, the wait!

Awesome looking cook, tinyfish! As Alton Brown cautions about crepes - Be prepared to toss out the first one. It never comes out right. After that, it gets easier. btw - odd spot in the Forum for this post??

Yeah, Dennis is seriously tricky that way. Lots of horror stories out there! Don't be one of those victims, Poochie!

Oh dee-yah! I do believe that my malaria might be trying to act up. I guess I'd bettah have a quinine, maybe with a tad of juniper gin in it; and oh yes, a nice piece of lime, just to be on the safe side! You can never be too careful about that scurvy!

Winner, Winner, Bunny Dinner!!

Would love to do Izakaya at home. Are you using Binchotan charcoal or just small pieces of regular lump? Would be curious to find out how well coco-char does in it? Kanpai!!

OK Folks, now you understand why MacKenzie is hereby crowned - The Queen of Food Porn on this website!! FAB-U-LOUS! Killing me again, MacKenzie!! I have 4 1# pieces of skin-on pork belly in my freezer for turning into bacon, that I've been procrastinating on for months. Just got too many other things going right now to even think about curing bacon!

Great Porn, Poochie! Can't wait to see the "real thing" off your KK after it arrives!!! ckreef, I generally go for the Full Monty shot!

Stop, Ken, Stop NOW!!!!! MacKenzie and I have threaten to have an intervention with you once already; don't make us threaten you twice!!!

Good plan, PR! If Dennis told you to get one, it's golden advice. He won't steer you wrong just to make an extra buck!!

Hear ya, brother! I almost never follow recipes exactly or make things the same each time either; always tweaking it. But, from what I've seen, you'll do more than just "keep up" over here!! Well, except for the Queen of Food Porn - MacKenzie!

Welcome kjs! Please keep posting those pics of your great looking cooks!!

Yeah Bosco, I second Ken's suggestions. I have a 23" Ultimate and have never run out of room on it, but the most folks that I cook for is 8 - 10. Mine is an Dark Autumn Nebula, which I think is just stunning; but hey, I'm biased!

HURRAY Poochie!! The final countdown has started!!!

Yeah, that silly border does get in the way sometimes, doesn't it! Fruita probably can't ship to you.

Awesome! See you loaded up on coffee wood and cocochar - smart! Curious why you went with the gas option? Most of us here didn't.

Yeah Bosco, you do put out some great food porn. I remember those wing shots from the other forum! Can't wait to see what you crank out when you get your KK!

tinyfish, you getting your smoking woods from Fruita? They are da Bomb! http://www.fruitawoodchunks.com/

My cherry tomatoes are just about gone now. Other varieties are starting to come in, so might give it a shot with some of those!

Yeah, there isn't much in the way of accessories that Dennis hasn't thought of already!

Welcome Bosco! You have a big reputation on that other Kamado website, so we really look forward to seeing your great cooks over here! (I lurk over there like you did here!) Think you'll find this group super friendly and just as helpful in answering any questions you might have!

Nice cook tinyfish. BIG fan of peach wood.

KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD!! We could actually smell and see ash from the forest fires out West a couple of weeks ago, when the jet stream was right over the top of them and us.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. Yep, they are indeed part of the family and it's really hard to let one go!

No, but it sounds like an interesting substitute for bread crumbs or panko.
