Fetzervalve Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Open enough that you can feel some heat/see some smoke escaping the top. That usually means a fraction of a turn from seated tight, it will seem like it's closed. I run the Guru shutter half open unless I'm trying to bring the temp up fast.

Syzygies Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 WAF Our next-door neighbors happily took our old K7. One set of their parents has a green egg, and they've enjoyed our cooking on same said K7, so they jumped at the offer. For those of you on the fence, it's impossible to describe how quickly the "transfer of affection" takes place. The KK is phenomenally well-designed. Looking back at the K7, I feel the same "make the best of this" optimism mixed with horror that one feels upon first addressing a strange campsite grill. In either situation, a good cook can shine, but why struggle? My cover story has been that the K7 cooked fine, Laurie really wanted to get the new cooker (how's that for Wife Acceptance Factor!?), but as the one-who-cooks-with-fire, I'm thrilled.
