mtrejo1 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Just wanted to introduce myself. I was lucky enough to purchase the 23" KK that Ducaticrsig listed for sale a short time ago. I've been wanting a KK for a few years and am ecstatic to finally have one ( even if second hand). I have to say it's much more impressive to see one in person than on the web. My wife now understamfs why I'd pay more for a used 23" than for a brand new Big Joe ( I was going to buy one at the Costco roadshow when I saw Craig's posting). She won't admit it but I think she likes the KK as much as me. Who knew an "expensive" Grillsmoker/oven would go over so well? 1
Cookie Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome! I have 5 or 6 friends that have purchased KK's after their wives experienced one in person. They all said the food was great, but for them, aesthetics were a higher priority. I have family members with BGEs and I don't knock them, they can produce some great food, but I have never once heard someone say 'that thing is beautiful.' These are lady killers.
DaveyR Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome to the club. Have fun cooking lots and post pictures How did you get it home was moving it a harrowing experience?
bryan Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome. Looking forward to your cooks and ideas. Any questions? Just ask. Again welcome to the forum.
ckreef Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome, can't wait to see what you do with it.
MacKenzie Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome, talk about good taste, this is going to be a win win
tony b Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome! Don't forget to post those pics of your first cooks on it! And, don't be afraid to ask questions about your awesome new grill!!
GoFrogs91 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Lucky son of a gun. Great deal for you. Welcome to the club. You'll love it.
5698k Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Congrats! It's good to see that the grill found a loving new home, as already stated, post pics! Robert
CeramicChef Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome to the KK Klub! You are in for a real treat with your new KK. So what's the first cook going to be? Have you named your new KK? We're glad you're here and we look forward to your posts and pic of the cooks on your KK!
EGGARY Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Congrats to the "new" KK. It might be used but your KK will last a very, very, long time. I showed Craig my KK before he bought the one you now own. You are lucky your wife likes it as well. Some wives don't understand how we look at the value of the KK.
BigLazy23 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Another welcome! You are in for a real treat and you received an unbelievable deal. Please do let us know what you do for your first cook. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
bryan Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 mtrejo1 - Get those great cooks coming. Always room for ideas. Congrats on your KK.
mtrejo1 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 DaveyR -- I did not move it myself. I bid the job out on UShip (a shipping auction site). I was nervous and bought insurance for the worst case scenario but Craig did a great job packing it up and the shipper did a good job too. Ceramic Chef - I'm thinking of smoking beef or pork ribs over 4th of July for my initial cook. I don't have a name yet...although I'm thinking of calling it "Cooper". Why Cooper? Because I have a baby boy due in August and my wife wants to name him Cooper but I prefer the name Christian. I figure by naming the KK Cooper I'll beat her to the punch. We'll see how this shakes out. I'll get food pics on here as soon as I do my first cook. 2
CeramicChef Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 mtrejo - strategic thinking taking that Cooper name off the table! Major congrats on the pending birth of your son. I couldn't be happier for you both. Here's wishing you and your Bride an absolutely uneventful remainder of the pregnancy and an easy delivery. Congratulations!

wilburpan Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Welcome, and congrats on scoring your KK! Used ones seem to be like hen’s teeth. Looking forward to pics of your cooks.
cgl Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Congratulation. Used or not, your KK is going to smoke the competition . I just got one a KK myself and I could not be any happier. Enjoy it.
