tinyfish Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Well I did it, I finally pulled the trigger on a KK 23 in bronze metallic. I am going to take delivery near the end of May. Now the hard part begins....the wait. Now its time to think of a name for my KK. The first name that comes to mind is piggy bank because I had to smash piggy bank for the purchase. LOL I would like to thank everyone that responded to my early threads asking for advice, you are all so helpful, thank you. It will be hard to even come close to CC's excellent photo shoot of welcoming Beauty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Congratulations! I know you'll be very happy with your purchase. The end of May? It must be coming from Indonesia. The waiting is brutal, but you'll enjoy the delivery even that much more. I hope you got some charcoal!! Keep us updated, and any pics are welcome.

GoFrogs91 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Congratulations tinyfish. This will be the longest two months of your life. Enjoy the endless perusing of the KK website as you wait for your grill to land in-country. The worst is to come when you know it is in town, but the local delivery company can't come for a week. In all seriousness, many congrats for joining the club. Though I have owned it for less than a year, I can't tell you how many pleasurable hours that I have spent on my Terra Blue 23". You don't get the secret password and handshake until you post your first cook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 What Robert (aka 5698k) said. If you got an OTB 23", you can load up the pallet with 15 boxes of Coco Charcoal. DO IT! You won't regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't regret it. Thanks Tony b. I have a good connection for some excellent charcoal from Argentina. It is a very dence hardwood charcoal. That being said, I have heard nothing but good things about the Coco charcoal. I should try some, can't hurt. Since I live in Canada I can't order from Amazon.com so I will only be able to get it direct from Indonesia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I can't speak highly enough about the charcoal, and this is a great opportunity to get some at the lowest cost possible. Give it some thought, I can't recommend it enough. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hang on for the ride of your life. Also, as we said in another thread - go out now and buy a new belt, 2 sizes bigger, because you're gonna gain that much weight when you start cooking on the KK; you're gonna want to cook everything in sight, just for the fun of it (and, oh yeah, because it's damned tasty, too!!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
