macintob Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi All, I placed my order for my OTB Autumn Nebula about a month ago, and the suspense is killing me! I have checked with the west coast and still no sign of the ship. Hey Snowynose...how long did yours take to arrive? At any rate I can't wait to try some low and slow stuff (ribs, pork butt, ect.) I have a spot on the patio cleared off and waiting for its new tenant. Every time I fire up the gas grill it breaks my heart....already have 2 bags of Royal Oak ready to go. Using the lump will bring back childhood memories of Dad getting the old round steel BBQ fired up 2 hrs. before we threw on the burgs . This forum is going to make life easy for a novice, lots of good advice and recipes here. Glad to be a new member. Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saison Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! Congrats. As the song goes, the waiting is the hardest part.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowyNose Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! Congrats you won't regret it, aside from wishing you had done it sooner. And it's great to see another KK coming to the great white north. Mine took 2 months almost to the day from order to delivery. Of that, 6 weeks was time spent in transit & customs. Like you I didn't hear anything until it arrived in Vancouver. The boards are a great place to ask questions or if you like send me a PM and we can e-mail/phone.

Hephaestus Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! Congratulation for your purchase. Peterborough is a great place for a new kk. That's where I spent my first assignment working for GE, after I graduated from university. It brings back many fond memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macintob Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! Thanks guys, Too bad I hadn't made the decision earlier...precious grilling season days are passing whilst I wait . Hephaestus, the GE is still grinding out, large motors, nuclear fuel bundles, and a few other commodities. The KK in town will be another Ptbo. milestone.

macintob Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! No sign of my KK on the west coast yet? I'm starting to wonder if it went down with the ship? It has been almost 8 weeks since I placed my order...hope to hear something this week!

Whoo Hoo!!, I received word that my KK is in Toronto and needs to clear customs ect. I hope to be picking it up this Friday! Better get to the butcher this week....think I'll try a pork butt . Thanks for the reassuring posts while I waited, just the red tape left now. I'll be sure to post picks when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macintob Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! Well Folks, I finally got it in place, broken in, and christened accordingly. We were thinking of smashing a bottle of champagne over it but settled for pouring a little Molson Canadian over her for good luck! My youngest (four) calls it "The Rocket". Just had it for over a week now and have cooked London Broils, Pork Back Ribs, Pea meal Bacon, 10lb Pork Butt, and Chicken Leg Quarters with BBG White Sauce. Everything turned out fantastic. Looking forward to reading some posts for new ideas. Happy Grillin Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hephaestus Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! Congratulations. The Rocket looks fantastic. Nice choice of colors. It blends so well with the surroundings, including the canine. What's his name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macintob Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! Pea Meal Bacon is sweet pickled back bacon with a pea meal coating rubbed on, it comes a little bigger than a tenderloin and just as pink and juicy as all get out. I'll post a pic of whats left if the kids haven't gotten to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! Hey Brent, I am currently in the process of purchasing a KK. I live in Midland Ontario and would like to know of your additional costs to get the KK to your door. I grew up in Peterborough, lived on Cameron St. and later taught music at Thomas A. Stewart High school in the mid 70's. I still have a sister and father in-law living there. going to visit for xmas. randy walden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
