MacKenzie Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 You are going to love this cooker, I have one similar but not a table top, just make sure when you build it in that you have room for the rotisserie motor, and smoke generator, just in case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes~!~ Great advise! I was going to get the 32, but i just dont have a place to put it!....after looking at the 22TT, i didn't realize how big it really is. Its actually slightly bigger than the Kamado Joe classic....i really hope i loveit!.....@Oakland looks good!....mine is OTW here to NJ, and I already had a stone island, with a drop in SS grill, that I decided to modify to accommodate the 22 TT.....broke out the sledge hammer, the past couple days, and had at it....made a simple cubby, but I will add some post and beam "timber frame" style joinery to the front to accent that beauty...ill post pics when its complete. { a work in progress } 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Not to worry it is an amazing cooker and your food will taste better cooked on the KK too. It's not just a pretty cooker. It works great all winter long too. Will look forward to seeing the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyNJ1 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 How long was shipping ?....Im assuming the unit is in route. Work is coming along in the mean time figure a beautiful piece like the KK deserves some Timber-frame type ascents, and decorative joinery .... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Welcome to the Obsession! You're going to be much happier with your KK than the KJ. Nice cubby hole for it, too! As MacKenzie astutely noted, leave enough room on the right side for the rotisserie motor/cold smoker/guru fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 The timber dress up is beautiful. I bet those humming birds love that yard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Excellent stuff. I too came from a KJ and love the upgrade. Really love the DIY job here. Much respect. Especially on the timber / joinery. That's a lot of brick. We don't use a lot of brick anymore on the west coast 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyNJ1 Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Finished the rear timber today, went with a bowtie joint, distressed everything with a torch, and hit it with poly . I think the space is deserving off the KK now lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This is just PT Fir...I thought of doing it in hardwood, which i have access to but this is purely decorative in nature and i couldn't justify the extra work. Oak would've taken much longer to crave out, drill, chisel, sand etc... Thanks for the kind words my friend! 👍⚒️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyNJ1 Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 It also doubles as a place to do dips, to work out the triceps. 😎👍 ....it funny bc i left them long, (they are part of the timber) as a creative :"non conclusion". Meaning not sure whats gonna happen with them quite yet, but better have em and not need em, than need em and not have em lol.... we shall see. I have the bore to make them smaller, or maybe i cut them off shorter. Who knows, where the creative muse takes one.... guess we shall see! I have more content on IG @Chateau_de_Mathieu including all my food creations, as well as an off-grid cabin build i just completed in the Northern Adirondack Mtns in Upstate NY. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyNJ1 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Impressive BBQ! ... fyi the 22 TT is bigger than it looks...or what I expected. Everything worked out perfect, cant wait to cook something. All the spects were dead-on accurate... which I was worried about considering I completely finished the space before ever having seen one of these. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
