Tyrus Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) I was out in historic Plymouth Mass. the other day looking around antique and second hand stores hunting for something to add to the BBQ villa. So I open the door to this one establishment and what to my wondering eyes should appear but a pig staring at me from up on high, I think he could talk because I believe I heard him say, "You yah you,...Take me home". AS I drew closer the 25% off ticket I saw sealed the deal and before ya knew he was riding shotgun back with me to the house. So, um...do any you have a mascot around the KK to dress up the area, help me out, I can't be the only one....could I? He's a pretty big porka coming in around 30 x 24 inches and fully welded at the seams, a handsome creature, a sight to behold. The picture really doesn't do him justice. And how about the cowboy coffee pot also, it was found not to distant apart, a daily double just shy of a trifecta. A horse might be next. Zo if your watchin, we can settle the big question here and now regarding the 23 KK and the whole hog. Pictures don't lie! Open your eyes...the truth shall set you free Edited February 20, 2020 by Tyrus 2 5
Pequod Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 No mascots here other than a black lab. Just wanna say congrats! You must have been "squealing" in delight! 1 2
Jon B. Posted February 20, 2020 Report Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) I have a big old skunk that visits time to time when I'm cooking at the marina. He always manages to show up just about the time the food is ready to come off the KK. A few cooks have been overdone when Pepe Le Pew shows up!!! I'll gladly trade you old Pepe for the pig 😁!!!!!

Tyrus Posted February 20, 2020 Author Report Posted February 20, 2020 SOOIE and no skunks wanted here Jon B, you keep em. Have to find a steer next Basher and possibly a duck. It's all about the hunt 4
Tyrus Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Posted February 21, 2020 3 hours ago, MacKenzie said: Tyrus, you need a bigger KK. Nah, the 23 is working fine and meeting my needs for 90% of the cooks. Actually, I should have jumped on Dennis's clearance sale last year on the 19. Nope, going to hold pat for a while, putting on a new deck. Don't tempt me, I'm on the straight and narrow. 4
Bruce Pearson Posted February 21, 2020 Report Posted February 21, 2020 Tyrus if you bend his legs in a little and tuck his head, then put him in the rotisserie I think that might work. Might be a little hard to cut and tough to chew. 2 1
Basher Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 Tyrus here is my mascot.Kenny, God of Kamados.Kenny guards over cooks to ensure every meal is a winner!Actually we picked him up in Papua New Guinea 50 years ago.Fearsome looking dude eh?I’ll be keeping an eye out for his partner. Don’t want him getting lonely...... or angry.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 8
Tyrus Posted June 8, 2020 Author Report Posted June 8, 2020 Very impressive Basher and he's got such a serious expression. Well, he sets the tone...........maybe you could get him a girlfriend and then he'd pop on a smile. What else you got in the closet? I hope he looks over you and yours with many blessings and ensures all your cooks are as expected. Teak wood? 1
Basher Posted June 8, 2020 Report Posted June 8, 2020 Pretty sure it’s cedar Tyrus. It’s too soft to be teak.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Basher Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 Was gifted a new bbq mascot yesterday.This is Morris McCaw, made by mum.Just not sure what Morris wants to eat?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7
MacKenzie Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 Just don't eat Morris. What an awesome gift and the fact that your mother made it is even more meaningful. 1
Tyrus Posted November 28, 2022 Author Report Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) I finally found one, a new mascot one made to share the spotlight with the grand ol'pig. I found this guy by a roadside at an antique and used whatchamacallits items church yard parking lot sale. It wasn't cheap, but you know once you get bitten and gotta have it you have to buy it. Well, after some back and forth dickering we settled on a price and here he is, pretty sure it's a he. Anyhow it's aluminum base with a nickel or chrome surface, it should look pretty good hanging up 9 or 10 feet as an inspiratioal motivator. The search continues, may even have mounted on my tombstone after my cooking days expire, but's that's for another day, he'll be sitting by the fire until spring. Edited November 28, 2022 by Tyrus
C6Bill Posted November 29, 2022 Report Posted November 29, 2022 No pig mascot for the KK but I do have Floyd the pig as a mascot for my stereo lol And Wilbur the flying pig in the front yard 😁 2
Tyrus Posted November 29, 2022 Author Report Posted November 29, 2022 That's a cute piggy you got there Mr. Bill, coincidentally I have one in the front too. What kind of speakers are those?,,I recently acquired a tower set of JBL's so I could hear Mike Zito play his guitar. 1
C6Bill Posted December 1, 2022 Report Posted December 1, 2022 Those are Legacy Signature SE's. Small company out of Illinois 👍 2
tekobo Posted December 2, 2022 Report Posted December 2, 2022 That is some set up @C6Bill! I am going to regret showing this to my husband I think... Looking forward to seeing your steer in pride of place when the weather is better @Tyrus 2
