inacoma Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Well, I've had my KK since last summer, but was not able to fully use it until recently due to moving from KC to Denver. Wanted to keep it all packed up for the move so the new neighbors are like "what you doing with a kiln on your front stoop"....I just laugh...tell them Dennis's story, how I got it, it's construction, etc. well...one neighborhood cookout later (6 racks of baby back ribs and a few vieggie patties) and they were all sold on it. I've done filets at 700 degrees easily..turn out excellent! I love this cooker and the plan was for it to be the last one I ever buy...so Dennis...Make sure all the future upgrades are RECTRO compatible!!! I just ordered a Stoker (should be on my door stoop this friday)...I'm a techy geek kinda guy...so it's just a nice to have item if anyone is hesitant to buy this cooker based on origin or finances..DON'T BE!!! I'm one of the most skeptical guys out there and Dennis made a believer out of me! It's not even his "primary money making business" and he puts a lot of effort towards making it for us. Thanks Dennis! K
inacoma Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 Welcome back man. Glad the move went OK. I've been lurking quite a bit. Season is about to start back up...I've bought 5 large bags of lump (green egg was the best I could find locally)...speaking of which...where is our KK lump!!! cooking will commence now. the convection of Denver air is a bit different than KC humidity...it makes for a better cook once you adjust for boiling point and what not. k

inacoma Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 Tell me you are still a chiefs fan and not letting oxygen deprivation cause you to wear orange and blue die hard chiefs fan!!! my neighbor is actually a chiefs fan too!!! another neighbor...RAIDERS fan...wtf is up with that. everyone else...they like them ponies. k
Firemonkey Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 another neighbor...RAIDERS fan...wtf is up with that. everyone else...they like them ponies. k No que for them...and the guy in the Black and Silver...I hope he is downwind everytime you cook something good, and share it with your fellow Arrowheaders!
inacoma Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Posted April 11, 2007 he he...I found out about their sports affiliation FROM the QUE invite!!! the raiders guy might actually be moving back to California this summer. So let's cross our fingers I get lucky and get another chiefs fan. It's nice to see that there ARE chiefs fans in Denver (I used to see a lot of Denver fans in KC). I feel I should go up to those jersey wearing fans at HD/Lowes and what not and just randomly invite them over for some Q....just for their team affiliation...besides..who else but a KC native (in my area) would enjoy Q more! later, k
cruz-in Posted May 6, 2007 Report Posted May 6, 2007 If You Are A Little Geeky You Will Love The Stoker! Well actually if you are not you probably will still love it. As and EE and Communications Architect, I just love it. Have it hooked up to my wireless network. In fact as I am typing I am monitoring two chickens as they cook! It is a way cool device. Got mine a while ago and just upgraded the software to Version 2.X. The upgrade was free and a big improvement in functionality.... Last winter I was running the KK from my laptop in front of the fireplace while it cooked away in below freezing temps...just tooo cool... Dan
