glx Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 Finally, after drooling after the KK's for many years pulled the trigger in early December and ordered a 21" with many accessories. I have joined the list of Dennis fans, he was an absolute pleasure to talk to and furthermore went out of his way to put shipping on hold (after having started the process) because I had an unexpected trip out of the country come up. The grill landed on my backyard last Friday 1/10. Was so impressed with it in person that I felt the need to call Dennis and ramble about what an awesome product I received from him. First day did the burn in and got a few areas of venting which were grouted again very quickly. Second day (Saturday) did a few steaks. Third day (Sunday) got a handul of thin crust pizzas. Mid week did some burgers. And today tried the rottisserie for one of the juiciest chickens I have ever had. Tonight will smoke some salmon over night so early in the morning tomorrow I can smoke some pork ribs. What an awesome grill. My BGE that I have had for 10 years, will be retiring, should have got the KK much sooner. Phew.., enough rambling for tonight. One more extremely satisfied KK owner. 20200118_160614.mp4 11
Basher Posted January 19, 2020 Report Posted January 19, 2020 Well done glx.Do you have a photo of the new KK?Plenty of diversified cooks coming up.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Basher Posted January 19, 2020 Report Posted January 19, 2020 Yep, that’s what I thought, pebbles definitely cook better.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 2
alimac23 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Posted January 19, 2020 What an absolute stunner!The pebble colour is very similar to mine, pebbles definitely cook better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 1
MacKenzie Posted January 19, 2020 Report Posted January 19, 2020 What a great KK and those cooks look wonderful. Already you have gotten rid of the white interior. Yes, I agree it's the pebbles that make everything cook perfectly. 1 1
Bruce Pearson Posted January 19, 2020 Report Posted January 19, 2020 I fail to see how pebbles cook better than the squares. I’m thinking that the squares hold in more heat because they cover more surface area. This is the formula I came up with and I think our master Mathematician Sygies would agree; squares squared ¥ by the hypottenoose € the total area minus the area of a pebble = better cooking with square tiles. What do you think am I right or am I right lol. anyway very nice looking KK GLX and yummy looking cooks. Welcome to the KK forum. Looking forward to more pictures of future bbquing 3 5
tony b Posted January 19, 2020 Report Posted January 19, 2020 Welcome to the Obsession! You've definitely gotten off to a great start. And those of us in the Dark Autumn Nebula square tile camp would beg to differ with our esteemed pebble KK owners over which model cooks the best! 😁 1
glx Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Posted January 20, 2020 Thank you all. Maybe in a year or two it will be time for a second one with squares so I can perform some scientific tests as to which cooks better and why 😁. Here are the cooks from overnight (smoked salmon at 180 F for 10 hrs with the help of a bbq guru) and today some naked st louis ribs. So long to new years resolution of dropping a few pounds. 7
Bruce Pearson Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 I love you die hard KK’ers,rain,sleet nor snow will keep you away from your grill, to cool! No pun intended lol 3
jonj Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 I just noticed the new grill has two probe plugs. Way to go, Dennis! 2 1

No pun intended lol I was thinking the same Bruce. I can't imagine stepping outside in the snow to initiate a long slow cook..That's dedication. 3
tony b Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 Where many of us live, it's either that, or go without grilled/smoked foods for months at a time! 😢 3 1
Herbie J - Alabama Posted January 22, 2020 Report Posted January 22, 2020 As previously said, welcome to the obsession. Stay engaged on the forum. It’s a very helpful group of great people. Post photos of every cook!
glx Posted January 25, 2020 Author Report Posted January 25, 2020 Today it was brisket day. Started last night with grill at 245 F and took it out after 15 hours at 203 F. Have done brisket multiple times never had got such an awesome brisket before. Main difference; the grill; in spite of some troubles I had with temp control, KK makes an awesome brisket. 7
Herbie J - Alabama Posted January 26, 2020 Report Posted January 26, 2020 The avocado is a nice touch. You have great taste in beer too. I like the hops used by Lagunitas. 2
