Sanny Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Beautiful tile work. So even and pretty! A work of art, even if you don't cook on it. What's the big square vent on the side? I know what the front one is, of course.
PaulR Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Posted May 21, 2007 I think that's the guru/stoker vent... And there's another port at the back for my gas gizmo!! Yep he'll look great on my porch (and I will cook on him!)
Firemonkey Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Sanny, where have you been the past month?? The Gen2 has a rear gas burner opening. That is another draft door where you can insert the burner if you want to use gas. It comes with a solid stainless door, the gas burner of course is attached to a different door that you insert.
PaulR Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Posted May 22, 2007 I thought I was being nice... Firemonkey has your KK arrived at US customs yet? I'm hoping that my KK will be shipped at the end of this week. But I still reckon you and DJ will get to cook on your babies before I will... Had another look at the paella recipe by the NakedWhiz that really looks good and should be a treat on the KK!
Firemonkey Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Firemonkey has your KK arrived at US customs yet? I havent heard a word about its status
ThreeDJ16 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 Firemonkey has your KK arrived at US customs yet? I havent heard a word about its status The word I heard was May 30 or 31 it hits port. Then roll the dice for customs. So we could have it the first week in June or a couple weeks later, depending on how lucky we are with customs. -=Jasen=-
PaulR Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Posted May 23, 2007 Do you know how long your customs usually take? I reckon ours could easily take another couple of weeks to "inspect"? Anyway, I'm still hoping mine will be packed up by the end of this week and on it's way!
Sanny Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Do you know how long your customs usually take?Some don't take long at all. Like, "how do you do?" is very short. And taking a gift to a friend who invites you to supper. Depending on what kind of gift you take, it could be very quick and simple, like picking up a bottle of wine on the way. On the other hand, the custom of having a cake and presents and guests at a birthday party could take a very long time. Especially if you go with a home baked cake, and home made decorations. Those are more special (my mom used to bake me cakes that looked like trains or lions or humpty dumpty), but are very time consuming. I guess it just depends.
PaulR Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Posted May 23, 2007 Customs must be different up there than they are down here. I appreciate the misunderstanding so I'll settle for this one:

Go ahead and enjoy it...We will be sure to properly ogle over all of our fancy new features that we had to wait for BTW, you better hurry with the paint job, or the color police will forever refer to your original color They still flame me for having a pink K and it has always been tan
jehlinger Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah, I debated ordering a Gen II. But I just couldn't wait. Instant gratification and all (if you call a week wait instant ) And the blue err black was a good deal.
jehlinger Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Hey, you know the gay coalition is gonna want their grill back for rallies and such. Damn I was off by one post. I thought that would be the first post.

jehlinger Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Paul, haven't gotten it yet, some little glitch with the delivery address. They're supposed to deliver it tomorrow. They're taking their sweet time...
Curly Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Paul' date=' haven't gotten it yet, some little glitch with the delivery address. They're supposed to deliver it tomorrow. They're taking their sweet time... [/quote'] Hope that same delivery guy that stole that one over in Louisianna didn't get a job over your way. He may be a thief but he's got good taste

I have to wait at least 21 more days (it's on the high seas) Let's see some photo's (I'm especially interested how you're going to move the thing?) I have some steps from the drive to my front door...oops 4 guys should be enough to lift it right?
Curly Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Yeah, 4 guys with a couple of 2 by 4's to slide through the straps that should be with it.
PaulR Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Posted June 1, 2007 Jehlinger, did you get your new beast/baby (your choice?)
