Hankvon Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Hi all! Puff finally arrived to our temporary housing here in South Korea (first one in Korea according to Dennis ). I had arranged transport via our service provider, and insisted that Puff would be lifted on to our terrace by a crane. I had to do quite some convincing. So the guys arrived to the house They showed an eager greater than me to unpack Puff, even before the lift.. They pointed at the lid handle, and claimed that they would use one sling around Puff. I managed to convince them otherwise Puff in the air, flying in like a dragon should. Finally landed My son, and most likely the next owner of Puff, is very eager to see whats inside the crate. Wow, this looks like a rocket daddy The packing is very well done! I start to see the beauty unveils Inside is packed with 'stuff' Finally empty All the stuff that was inside is laid out. Lot of room inside Puff Finally set up at present location. The thermometer was forgotten in the shipment, so DHL is working on that now. What a great looking piece of goods this is! The wife think its too large, much larger than the pictures shows, but thats to late now I did the burn in as well. Slowly up to 375F and kept it there for a while. Raised it to 500-550F for two+ hours. I could smell the 'paint'. Discovered a small area that came loose, but Dennis has given me the method for fixing it. I will do this in the first cook. Busy work wise, hope to do first one tomorrow or Friday. Will post pictures!! Thanks for looking, and sorry for all the pictures.
MacKenzie Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Hankvon, Puff is absolutely gorgeous, stunning. Great pixs and your son is anxious too. I'll be watching for your first cook pixs BTW, I love the name you picked for the KK
ckreef Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Really awesome. Loved the flying dragon picture. That is what I call dedication. Can't wait to see some cooks on Puff.
tony b Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Excellent. Don't forget to post pics of the "virgin cook."
tinyfish Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Congratulations on Puff looks like a beauty. Can't say I've ever seen a bbq flying. If you had some pork in there I could finally tell my wife I've seen a pig fly over the moon. What size KK is that a 23" or 32" hard to tell. I'm waiting on my KK still a week or two away from Toronto. Its is getting close, the ship is at the Vancouver port being unloaded.
MacKenzie Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Lucky you, tinyfish mine is still in Indonesia
EGGARY Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 Congrats on the new KK. I think it's 23". Enjoy the journey.
dstr8 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 Nice post! And oh the memories your son will have for 'round the campfire stories' years from now! Welcome to the club and prepare to be dazzled
tinyfish Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks for the comments Its a 23". Your KK looks very big in the picture and you say its even bigger in person....WOW.
GoFrogs91 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 Congrats and welcome! Time to have some fun.
CeramicChef Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 Hank - CONGRATS! Welcome to the KK Family. You are going to absolutely LOVE Puff! I couldn't be happier for you. This is a great day and I love seeing that little Tow Headed Son of yours getting used to using tools properly and I"m certain you'll teach him the secrets of the KK as time goes on! Wonderful! CONGRATS again!
egmiii Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 Could you tell me what color this grill is? I can't tell if it's the matte black or the recently intoduced very dark blue. Whatever it is, I love it.
