vkl Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Hello All, I just wanted to say hello. The wait for my new KK is unbearable! Looking forward to getting some great tips and joining this wonderful community!
Fetzervalve Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Congratulations! It helps the time pass to tell us what you are getting, and to brush up on your photo posting skills!

[/quote'] I have a Terra Blue 23" Gen 2.2 OTB coming. I'm getting the gas option as well. This is going to be my second Kamado but my first KK.
bryan Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 When will it be there and where will you put it?
vkl Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Posted March 8, 2010 When will it be there and where will you put it? Don't know exact date yet. She's not quite finished yet, but should be taking the journey to the states soon. She's going to sit in the backyard next to my 11 yr old Kamado.
Conodo12 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 Welcome vkl! I found that buying toys for the homecoming of my KK helped to pass the time! Of course, with owning a Kamado, at least you can cook until your new KK shows up! Do you have a picture of your existing cooker that you can share?

I already ordered a cover from Johnnyboy. LOL! Here is a pic I took of my #7 a couple days ago with one of my dogs.
vkl Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Posted March 9, 2010 I forgot to mention that if it wasn't for the lack of customer service on my POSK, I would have never found KK.
Syzygies Posted March 10, 2010 Report Posted March 10, 2010 I'm a fellow K expat, also in the Bay area (Concord). Looks like your K held up better than mine. [said in understated tone to background laughter in various forums]
vkl Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Posted March 11, 2010 I found out that the trek begins next thursday for the states. I'm counting the days!
tnt Posted March 18, 2010 Report Posted March 18, 2010 Hello Bay Area, Looks like our grills are comming together. I just received an email from Dennis letting me know that mine was just shipped. I guess that puts us about 5 weeks out. We are in Santa Clara, where in the Bay Area are you ?? Tony
vkl Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Posted March 18, 2010 tnt congrats! Your just around the corner from me. I'm in milpitas. LOL! Got the email from Dennis this morning as well.
tnt Posted March 19, 2010 Report Posted March 19, 2010 Well it seems that we need to get faster ships!!!!! This 5 week wait will be no fun at all. Did you manage to find the E-Z Que baskets ?? I bought a 6" because that was all I could find and then I found the 8". Seems like 2 inches would not make a lot of difference but setting them next to each other it makes a lot of difference. We have a Big Green Egg store here in Santa Clara (Eggs by the bay). It's only open on Saturday and Sunday but they have lump charcoal and other supplies that may be handy. The weather is right now all I need is the grill. Tony
vkl Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Posted March 22, 2010 Haven't looked for and e-z que baskets yet. I do have a feeling that my next purchase for the KK will be a stokker. I just got my cover delivered from Johnnyboy the other day. Counting down the days!!
vkl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 Got these pics from Dennis to ease the wait.
LPT41 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 Nice Vkl looks like it is ready to fly! I almost chose that tile but in the end the Levis Blue won me over. Happy Q'n.
