sovsroc Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Like most people here i have lurked for a while not as long as some as i was without a grill having sold my gasser and thinking i could live with a pellet smoker and WFO. (schoolboy error). My friend has been telling me about his JO and how great it is for many years i looked at that and the BGE then i saw the KK site and started looking, So from no grill to a order in 3 weeks. I know no willpower, but it sure looks nice (Kids picked the colour i wanted Blue) So the UK members continue to grow ! My list of good is as follows:- 42" Matt black pebble (pebble is the best and you get the better taste of food from it apparently) Cold smoker, Grate grabs, Sunbrella cover, Side tables, Roti cradle and h/duty motor, Baking stone, Gas burner. Teak workstation with pull out drawers. How i got all this past my wife i still don't know. Apparently getting to the docks in Surabaya today I am really looking forward to it. Lastly what a great forum to have lurked on with nice people it suits Dennis down to the ground who has been very busy but always had time for me. Kind Regards Sovs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Yay! Welcome. Looking forward to seeing the goat. My KKs are due to be "stuffed" in Indonesia today too so our KKs might be starting their journey to the UK together. Which port is yours coming into? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sovsroc Posted October 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Thank you Tekobo Goat i haven't eaten since i lived in Africa It must eat a lot of stuff on the way over by boat. We laughed when we saw the "stuffed" e-mail. Southampton. Fingers crossed before Christmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sovsroc Posted October 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 BTW Just got the email with the owners manual never had a cooker like this before. But my WFO is refractury concrete so i might have a small head start with its use altho my WFO now has some cracks inside. Here's hoping i can get some some food like you guys off this grill. Some of the pictures .............. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokDok Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Congratulations @sovsroc, Wow 42 " ! What a start ! I'm surprised @tekobo hasn't mentioned it yet , but there is probably time to sneak a 16" in there too :-). My port is Southampton as well , but no news yet of any shipment yet. Looking forward to the updates. Best RD 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Congratulations and Welcome to the Obsession. You are definitely in for a huge (literally) surprised when that BB 42 arrives. Can't wait to see the pics! Just curious - what made you order the gas burner insert? That's very uncommon - in fact, Dennis stopped making the back door for it some time ago and made a retrofit bolted door for the rest of us to seal it up so we didn't have air leaks.

"You are definitely in for a huge (literally) surprised when that BB 42 arrives." Well TBH my gasser was 8' long but i imagine this grill will surpass that old gasser in every way. "Just curious - what made you order the gas burner insert? That's very uncommon" I made the decision to purchase in a relatively short span i am guessing now maybe that was a error,i was thinking a quicker way to light the charcoal/heat the beast up but now i am thinking cleaner for bread making ? not forgetting better to get it now than later with the shipping costs ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've not left the group much to work with as you specified everything. So, have you considered a Robin to your 42" Batman? 😀 I can confirm from my 51KK experiences (I have a 32+19 combination before anyone thinks Dennis is cooking up a new model) that black pebble cooks better, stabilises more reliably and imbues all sorts of qualities on the pitmaster owner.

I should confess that I am conducting a survey at the moment - the intersection of UK owners with Africa connections who own KKs. It's surprisingly high! 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, Liberia is a corner of Africa where the insurance company and Foreign Office forsake you. You'll have to look up @tekobo and her Nigerian Suya on the KK. I was planning on visiting Central African Republic this year but well, we know how that story goes. I have to get back to Africa at least once a year, even if it isn't home. Have you seen a KK in person yet by the way? I have a fantastic recipe for Jamaican Goat Curry (for the free goat) - it does feature Scotch Bonnet but you can substitute if that isn't to your taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sovsroc Posted October 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Liberia yes you could very easily disappear out in the bush there, but to be fair that could be said for a lot of African countrys No i have not seen a KK in the flesh yet ...But i did see a picture of the Matt Black Pebble looks really good. I don't normally beg but... Jamaican goat curry with hot peppers yes please. I still miss fresh Lobster cooked in palm oil when we used to go to coast and all the fresh coconuts and palm nuts mmmm.
