bosco Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 congrats... what do you having coming???
tinyfish Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Posted February 11, 2016 My KK is on its way, little BOZ wants to play! Since the KK is a beautiful addition to my home, how about a spinoff of J-Lo ! Hence I name "her", Boz-lo. Congratulations and it sounds like a perfect name.
Boz Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 After 17 years with a green egg, I finally pulled the trigger on a 23" olive gold pebble. Hoping the truck driver will lift gate it directly onto my back deck. Any set up hints are appreciated.
bosco Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 start a new post under Kamado general or forum members to intro yourself so we can all help you out and follow your journey
Rak Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Congratulations Boz! Looking forward to seeing your pictures of the unboxing and setup! PS - Great choice on the olive gold pebble

MacKenzie Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Kevin, every time I see it, I think, Gorgeous.:)
KevinD Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Thanks MacK... I wish my backyard were looking better but my grass is beginning to die because of lack of water. Trying to abide by our water conservation rules due to our on going to drought out here in California. Central and Northern California received a fair amount of rainwater but our mountain snowpack was not nearly enough and we continue to pay the price. ..
CeramicChef Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Ohhhhhhh! I get PELE now! I get it, I get it, I get the connection! And all this time I thought you were a soccer fan! 1
BBQKaeding Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Awesome name you picked and a fantastic looking cooker that will certainly live up to her name! Edited July 14, 2016 by BBQKaeding
Aussie Ora Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 the only photo I have but already named it Ora I did not shoot for the stars wanted to stay on the ground Varanus komodoensis is the largest extant lizard on Earth and is endemic to several small islands in Indonesia. The genus name, Varanus is the latinization of the Arabic word "waran" which stands for monitor (Egyptians believed these lizards served as monitors, alerting people to the presence of crocodiles). Its common names include the "Komodo dragon" (Komodo is one of the islands they are found on), "ora" which means land crocodile in the Mangarrai dialect, and Komodo monitor. So basically Ora loves meat nom nom yum Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨ 3
GoFrogs91 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Man that is a pretty Terra blue. Congrats Benton
Bruce Pearson Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Aloha Kevin you From da island brah? Pele is a great name and great color What part of California are you from? I live in Fremont. Close by any chance? I have a BB 32 in about the same color as yours. I know what you mean about the drought my back yard is completely dead so all my pics are of just my patio. I'm ashamed to show the back yard especially after seeing all the great yard pics here in the forum. Thinking about putting in artificial turf.
MacKenzie Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Bruce, you'll feel lucky when you see my yard all covered with the white fluffy stuff this winter.:)
xraydoc Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 @Aussie Ora I was wondering what Ora meant. Thanks for the explanation! That is an awesome name. I especially like the latin roots aspect. 1

I live in Southern California roughly 30 miles east of Los Angeles in a city named Chino Hills. I do on occasion get up in the bay area to visit friends I've got up there and I have a brother that lives in Santa Clara. I thought about taking out all of the grass in the front and side of my house and removing a fair portion of the back grass as well but I have not really been able to decide on xeriscape plantings and design. Up until two years ago my backyard grass was really nice green but after the last two years it's pretty ratty looking and if we have a really hot summer down here, I'm pretty sure it'll finish off the back grass.
CeramicChef Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 @KevinD - years ago when I lived in Colorado Springs, the big thing was xeriscaping. Had my whole yard xeriscaped. It was okay, but I wished I had left the area around the pool grass so that when you got out of the pool you had some place cool to put your feet. What most folks don't know about xeriscaping is that it still requires a fair amount of maintenance to keep it looking sharp. I wish all you good Cali KKers nothing but the best during this drought! 1
Bruce Pearson Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 Well after reading all the cool names you guys have for your kk's l came up with a name for my BB 32. I'm going to call it Dragons Breath cause it breaths fire, DB for short. 3
MacKenzie Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 DB, that's great. What are you cooking on DB this weekend?
