GoFrogs91 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 The angels are singing and the harps are playing. Finally, it has arrived. The Broil King Keg in the background is decidedly unhappy.
Loquitur Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 Love that color in your setting - really beautiful with the stone!!
GoFrogs91 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks. The low res picture doesn't do it justice.
tony b Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 Gorgeous! Hang on, your about to go on the ride of a lifetime! Never cooked on a Broil King, but I can't image how it could compare to the KK!! Don't forget, you MUST post pics of the first (virgin) cook - forum tradition!!
GoFrogs91 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks Tony. Pics in the phone from last night. Will make sure to post. I almost killed myself getting it from the driveway to the deck. This thing is H-E-A-V-Y!!!
tony b Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 Tell me about it. I had to build a 7 ft ramp so I could bring it through the house (split foyer) from the garage, push/pull it up a flight of stairs (8 steps), traverse across the living room/dining room floor and out the side door in the kitchen onto my deck (without it tipping over going over the transom). Took 4 of us to get it up the ramp - 2 pulling on ropes/2 pushing from behind. Thank God it has wheels on it. Oh yeah, I took the lid off, too! 2 of my buddies carried it up the steps (no ramp) out to the deck. All-in-all, it went fairly quickly and smoothly. Oh, if you were wondering, "why didn't you just take it up the outside steps on the deck rather than some complicated maneuver through the house?" Here's why -
GoFrogs91 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Posted September 15, 2014 Stable around 500. Cooked on lower grate, not searing grate.
GoFrogs91 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Posted September 15, 2014 Holy cow Tony! Daunting. Did you have an "oh shoot", or something more poignant, moment when you first tried to move it?
tony b Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Wasn't my first rodeo. I previously had moved my first kamado (POSK) through the house, too. That one was done without the ramp. 2 of us used a refrigerator dolly to hump the bottom half up the steps, one at a time! We almost died!! Hence, the ramp this time!
wilburpan Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Glad it made it to you safe and sound! I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of the Terra Blue tile, but it looks great in your yard.
DennisLinkletter Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Love the shot.. but you cut her toes off..
BigLazy23 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Been away for a little while so a bit belated but congrats Frogs! She's a beaut. Hope when I get over to the Cooking Pics forum there are already some up of her in action!
CeramicChef Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 Great Shot, Frog! Good to see you here. Your KK looks beautiful with the Broil King in the background. How long until you part company as I did with my Primo?
GoFrogs91 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Posted October 18, 2014 Great Shot, Frog! Good to see you here. Your KK looks beautiful with the Broil King in the background. How long until you part company as I did with my Primo? I'm just holding her until a friend gets around to taking her away. Can't imagine stepping down to cook from the KK.
