Getting my Goat - Not?

[ckreef]

Congratulations - 3 KK's is a great number. Even with just me and Mrs skreef I still use 3 kamados at once from time to time. 

My 16" is almost dedicated to searing with Grill Grates these days. As I type this Mrs skreef has the 16" fired up with Grill Grates to sear some chicken and a Dutch oven in the 19" for a bean cook of some sorts. 

I'm really excited for you and can't wait to see the unboxing and color choice.

16 would definitely be a great add to the 32/23 combo. Loads of flexibility there. The BEST flexibility. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Never been done before! 🤔

Aaaaa-ha! What colour???

Excited too.  Someone will have to take me off the owners list for a little while to make it real.  I will be back!

Even if you don't own any at the moment you're still an owner at heart - and it won't be long now

Now, now. I believe one gets placed upon the owners' list when the order is placed, not upon delivery. So, since you placed the order during your unsupervised time, you have become an owner again. Not my rules. Just the facts.

At the time of writing yesterday I was still in possession of my two KKs.  I gave them a final wash down this morning, a hug in my head and sent them on their way.  They are being dropped off at two different locations and I will get to see them on Friday and Saturday as we  have been invited to BBQs at their new homes.  Lots of pictures to show loading and securing.

The beginnings of a great new chapter. It's going to be a fun weekend too, checking out the adoptive parents.

Tekobo did you tie those knots in the last photo? If you did, I’m glad you chose to cook and cure meats rather than drive trucks!
Looking at those photos, not sure I could let them go.
Enjoy the triplets.

Ha.  No.  Knots are not my department.  Yes, I was sad to say goodbye but others are loving them already.

You can see why this KK's new parents liked the colour so much.  This little KK had to be manoeuvred down a narrow corridor and the door had to be taken off its hinges but I think the most difficult part of its journey is over and it will soon be installed in its new home.

It is sitting in there just like it has been there all along. I hope they have a bang on cook for you on the weekend.

There will be lots of celebrating in the UK this weekend.

Yes.  In a funny way, I am living the excitement of their "unboxing" by posting on here.  Here is the 21 after it made its way through the kitchen and out into its new garden home.  Pretty as a picture.

And here is a video that I made of the 21 being guided up the ramp with the aid of a winch.

What a pretty sight.

Neat video, they sure were being very careful, it must have eased your experience.

Pretty as a picture for sure, the new owners must be all smiles.    

Sure fits in with the little blue flowers and the blue green foliage.

Are we going to meet these new owners and their cooks on this forum?

Hi, I don't know if they will choose to join the forum.  I sent them a KK starter pack including the manual and a link to the forum, explaining that this is where they need to come for more info.  I also said I would get them set up as owners if they do choose to join.  We shall wait and see.  They will be up and running this weekend and I am looking forward to eating well at their houses.

Sooo.  Update on my new KKs.  They left Indonesia week before last as planned. I am told they will be loaded on the boat to the UK in Singapore on the 31st of this month and that they should be in the UK by the end of November.  Looks like an early December arrival.  No vessel name yet but excitement is mounting.
