Lars Posted December 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I will be sure to share pictures. 🙂 First cook. 🤔 Any good suggestions? Thing it will be something simple to get to know the new grill. For sure the duck will go on for Christmas. And I need to do a practice run with a chicken or 2. Today i have a primo xl and a joe jr. so this will be a big step up 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transition to the KK won't be that dramatic. You already understand the basic principles of airflow = temperature. You will just have to get used to the new top vent settings for specific temps (bottom vent is not critical as long as the fuel is getting enough air.) The other thing will be that the KK takes quite a bit longer to heat soak, but is much more stable than those grills once up and going. First cook should be something in your wheelhouse that you've done a lot of - pork butts, ribs, spatchcocked chicken, whatever it might be. Wouldn't recommend a packer cut brisket as your first cook! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimac23 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Welcome Lars! I get a tingly feeling just remembering KK delivery and uncrating day, make sure you take lots of pictures, we all love to see them, but its surprising how often I personally look back at those pictures and fond memories. Make sure you've got something to cook during the burn-in process, i didn't cook anything and i regret wasting all of that heat. Most importantly, enjoy the whole experience, it really is something else uncrating and setting up your KK, pictures really don't do them justice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to Dannis and burn-in not needed on the new models. Just out of the box and start cooking. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda sad actually - the burn-in was a "rite of passage" for KK owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Was prepared to do the burn-in. Do not mind not having to do it. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider it a trophy Tony for going the extra mile. Have to say that the added prep on Dennis's part saves him alot of phone time and his customers,.. peace of mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No burn-in?!! I bought a used 23 KK and still did the burn-in. It was just the right thing to do. Welcome to the forum @Lars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted December 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I can see from the comments that a burn-in is needed to join the club 😂 The day is finally here and it was just delivered.

Waw I am impressed seeing and using this thing for the first time. @DennisLinkletter what a product you have created!!! Here is pictures from yesterday. I had good help from my son and father.
