tlemmen Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I can't wait! Just ordered the gloss and matte black 23 today. Now it's time to shop for the rest of the goodies that go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokykensbbq Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Congrats! You will be amazed at the food you will be able to prepare on the KK! Honesly, if I go out to eat I bypass the steaks and the ribs and see what else there is on the menu. I usually look for something that I can't make on the KK, which is pretty tough to do!

Loquitur Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Awesome, tlemmen. Is there a picture of it on the site? I think I remember seeing one of that pattern at one time but I'm not seeing it now. I have the autumn nebula/matallic bronze, which is also a two tone version. You're going love the combination!!!

Conodo12 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 That just might be the first KK to look like it is wearing a tux! Better name him "007"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Wow, that's pretty. ELEGANT, even! Bond... James Bond.... I think a black Johnnyboy Jammy, maybe with a bow tie embroidered on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetzervalve Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I like the pattern models. That has to at least double the labor - doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguerra Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 labor It's the same number of tiles applied in the same places, the only variance is the color. The tile installer has merely to pick a tile from one of two color piles. The layout pattern only had to be done once for all the double color schemes. The extra labor should be pretty minimal.

johnnyboy Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Awesome tile pattern Dennis!!! Nice craftsmanship! For a cover send Johnnyboy an email to [email protected] Charcoal Tweed would be an awesome/matching color choice for that grill!!! Bow Tie! You're too cute Sanny! Would be cool though........

I suspect they are placed on the cooker in strips, probably as small as one tile wide (assuming a one color/style tile). When you have to alternate gloss tile/matte tile, now you are placing them on the cooker one-at-a-time... not one strip at a time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlemmen Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks Ladies and Gents! I can't wait! Do I get a tracking number for it Dennis? I think I like 007 as a name. Bond....James Bond I am thinking that I may need a jammy for it too but I'm not sure if it should be Black with or without a bow tie or Charcoal Tweed.?.? What does everyone think?

johnnyboy Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Ok Tlemmen, here's your first opinion. Black is very safe, and very good looking. However, tweeds are some of my favorites. Tweeds are very tight alternating colors which in my opinion appear as a tight plaid close up, but from any distance appears solid. Charcoal tweed is not as dark as black. If wanting to maintain the theme of your surroundings; I'd suggest matching the surroundings versus the tile. It's a personal thing; just my $0.02 cents.

DennisLinkletter Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Tracking number gets issued the day after it gets picked up Thanks Ladies and Gents! I can't wait! Do I get a tracking number for it Dennis? The tracking number gets issued the day after it gets picked up.. If you're far enough away that they have not called you by then I do send the tracking information to you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
