Bobbareeno Posted September 19, 2013 Report Posted September 19, 2013 Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the forum. Have had a XL BGE for three years now and decided I need to step up and buy the best! Dennis has been great answering the million questions I've had and I'd like to publicly thank him. My delivery date is set for 9/27 as I'm in Miami for business until the 26th. I gotta say....the wait is killing me! Bob
5698k Posted September 19, 2013 Report Posted September 19, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA Oh, Bob, we've all been there. It's worth the wait! I had a BGE XL, and once I got the KK, it takes a while to even open up the bge to look at how much you've stepped up. Did you order some coco char? What color did you get? Pics are required! Robert
EGGARY Posted September 19, 2013 Report Posted September 19, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA Were you on any of the BGE Forums ? Greeneggers or the Egg Forum ? Funny thing I had a BGE XL for three years, then I got a KK too.
Bobbareeno Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Posted September 20, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA I ordered the 23" OTB in Autumn Nebula. The pictures of it look amazing. I am a member of both greeneggers and the egghead forum using this same nickname. I rarely post there, mostly lurk. I used to post more but there were some individuals there that weren't exactly behaving as adults so I mostly quit posting. They do have a mountain of information there though, it's been a great source of all things ceramic cooking. I actually have two BGE's, an X L and a medium. The medium I bought for my youngest son and am using it until he buys a house. He's 24. One question, when should I expect my shipping information and tracking? My KK is set for delivery next Friday and I figure it will be put on a truck Monday and sent on its way East. With me ordering it but not able to take delivery until the 27th it made it easy. Dennis threw in two boxes of the coco charcoal. Between that and the free shipping this month I think I got a great deal on something I was going to purchase anyway! Thanks for the welcome, I look forward to posting some pictures of the KK when it arrives. Bob
EGGARY Posted September 20, 2013 Report Posted September 20, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA Another Website to check out is Kamado Guru. You will enjoy lighting up your KK every time and it never gets old. Enjoy the journey.
5698k Posted September 20, 2013 Report Posted September 20, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA The only problem I see is that you dodn't get enough coco char, I love that stuff. As an experienced ceramic guy, you're really gonna appreciate the kk! If you're scheduled for Friday, I would bet thats when you get it. Remember, pics!! Robert
Bobbareeno Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Posted September 21, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA I awoke this morning to an email from Dennis with my shipping information. My autumn nebula left Carson last Wednesday. I'll call the shipping company when they're open and schedule the delivery. Right now they have an estimated delivery for this Wednesday but I won't be back home from Miami until late Thursday. Friday is going to be an awesome day! One more thing, you guys really love the coco charcoal? What makes it so special?? Bob
tony b Posted September 21, 2013 Report Posted September 21, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA Once you try it, you'll see for yourself. It burns nice and slow, with almost no flavor of its own so the smoking woods you are using shine through, which makes it ideal for lo & slo cooks - pork butts, ribs and briskets.
Bobbareeno Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Posted September 27, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA It's delivered! Got here around noon today. I had plenty of help and we got it move off the drive and onto the back patio in it's final resting place. What a beautiful piece of art it is! One thing, I cannot for the life of me find the thermometer! I've searched the crate and all boxes and it's simply not there. I sent Dennis an email about not being able to find it. Am I just blind or what? Bob
lobsterbake Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA Congrats on your KK. Mark
Bobbareeno Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Posted September 27, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA Thanks Mark. There is absolutely no comparison between my XL BGE and the KK.....unreal workmanship!
Bobbareeno Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Posted September 27, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA Trying to insert a pic so everyone can see the new KK. Bob
dstr8 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA My thermometer was in the small cardboard box of accessories & tools...
Bobbareeno Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Posted September 27, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA My box had checkmarks for everything except for a thermometer. It had a horizontal dash in that box like it wasn't there and sure enough the box with the tools, tiles, and gaskets did not contain the thermometer. Bob
Bobbareeno Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Posted September 28, 2013 Re: Patiently Waiting In Warner Robins GA Got an email from Dennis and he let me know my thermometer was shipped separately for some reason. It'll be here Monday by the end of the day. I just pulled one out of my XL BGE for use in the meantime so no biggie. Thanks to everyone for the kind words and all the help, Bob
