talisker63 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 And will be in my driveway in 1hr. I'm stuck at work Know what I am doing tomorrow. How long will I need to un pack and set up? Do you think I will be able to get a 6hr lamb shoulder in by noon ready for dinner tomorrow night?
tdixon Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 Re: She's in the truck! Congrats talisker63! I recently took delivery with no problems uncrating, unpalleting, and setting up with no one else home but me. Cordless screwdriver was handy removing the crate. A second pair of hands would've been nice lifting the crate off, but not necessary. The excellent built-in ramp worked beautifully. From drop off at curb to setup and ready to burn--about 2.5 hours. But I like to take my time. I'm no help on the lamb shoulder, but don't get in such a rush that you put it on before heat soak and all the acrid smoke burns off. I always count on at least an hour from time of lighting the lump to putting the meat on for a low/slow. My advice: take it easy, relax, enjoy the moment. You'll have thousands of cooks from here on out, but only one delivery day....unless you buy more down the road Cheers and good luck
talisker63 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Posted November 16, 2012 Re: She's in the truck! Well that was easy! Very good packaging and simple to get off. I had brief help to lift off the crate and roll off the pallet. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60565526@N07/8189520351/

DennisLinkletter Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 Re: She's in the truck! Great, pleased the set up went well, please pull the tape off the lower latch plate before you heat the grill. Tape's glue can be difficult to remove once baked on..
