We had 1 shirker in pic 2 always 1 🤣 Dark now so i will finish with some help tomorrow morning. Very pleased so far 😁despite the driver nearly leaving because the pallet got stuck between the main gates broken English "Boss say i have to go" quick phone call then we cracked on even getting 1 neighbor and another lorry driver to help How exciting It looks brilliant even still in it's packaging...

MacKenzie Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Great pixs and looking forward to tomorrow's batch. Fingers crossed for sunshine. 3
RokDok Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Wow !! Fantastic pics. So exciting. Looking forward to tomorrow - what a beaut.
Braai-Q Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 I've had a busy week. Then I come on here and find out that you wrestled it from the Somali pirates! Looking forward to the grand reveal. I assume the goat is in the garden already? 1

Pirates dealt with ☠️ I have cunningly lured our son out of bed early with the promise of a bacon sandwich and whatever steak he would like for next weekend, so we can release the Beast off of the pallets.I did not want to attempt it on my own. As far as the Goat goes Helper number 3 (see pic 2) is looking very guilty and full ! Edited November 21, 2020 by sovsroc 3 2
Tyrus Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 I'd would've bought a ticket to have seen your face when you opened your package. Is that Vantablack? And now that all the hard work is done....what's cookin.

sovsroc Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Posted November 22, 2020 Well while i am awaiting some daylight here are some more pics...... I don't want to say what everyone else has said but.... this is indeed a Bentley compared to any other car manufacture (insert lawsuit here) pic 4 shows a problem i had not looked out for, a added pallet N.B.Ask the delivery driver to off load the KK before he leaves i don't think it clearly shows how high this was now off the ground my son in pic's 10 + 11 is around 20stone and he was slipping on the ply as we offloaded her. Whew the cabinet should be a breeze 💨 8
RokDok Posted November 22, 2020 Report Posted November 22, 2020 What a fantastic day for you. Congratulations !! 2

Whew the cabinet should be a breeze 💨 Fabulous. Had you already agreed who was going to 'run into fire' and act as the human shield if the KK got away from you? Corner of the house and the garden wall would be my first thought. Particularly with the extra gradient offered by the additional pallet. I think the ominous skid tells a story....your son didn't ship with ABS from factory huh? 😀 Once you get it on the wheels and off the ply and on a horizontal surface, it makes it so much easier. You almost forget the suffering that preceded that moment of euphoria. When you get the second one to go with it, it's going to be a piece of cake. I remember one of the first things when my 32 turned up and I was putting the grills in - those grates are heavy, I can only imagine what the 42 must be like. Watch your fingers! Enjoy your unpacking and first cook. 4
sovsroc Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) 1 hour 15 into the burn in i started slowly its currently heading towards 350 time for some breakfast. After i check Onyxia a few more times. Edited November 22, 2020 by sovsroc 2 1
MacKenzie Posted November 22, 2020 Report Posted November 22, 2020 Fantastic, it's home and up and running. I see a fabulous cook in your near future. What will it be????? Decisions, decisions. 2
Steve M Posted November 22, 2020 Report Posted November 22, 2020 Nice job on the offloading. After a few hours of admiring the beauty, don't forget it's main purpose. 🔥 3
sovsroc Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Posted November 22, 2020 Burn in complete i think just over 4 hours at 500 -530 i did not see any tiles raise and only when i moved the lid to close it down did i hear a venting but could not see where from solvent smell not there... now what to cook for the first one ? so impressed with the temp control. 4

I'd vote a brisket for the first cook or you could go the whole hog, literally. 3
