ckreef Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 Excited for you, can't wait to see some pictures.
Poochie Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Posted August 17, 2015 Trucking company just called and said delivery most likely between 1 and 3. I told them that they can't come too early. I usually get up around 3am. She also said the dude would help me get it in the shop. That was good news but I still plan to put some bucks in his hand to make him more eager. I know I can cook on it during the curing process but I don't want to open and close it while it's doing his thing. This is a one time deal so I'll just dedicate 4-5 hours to it. Thanks for all the encouraging comments from everyone.

Poochie Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Posted August 18, 2015 One hour to go...being optimistic. The window is 1 to 3. We just got a good rain shower but that won't affect anything. Come on, dude. Bring it!
bosco Posted August 18, 2015 Report Posted August 18, 2015 Oh man.... I cant wait to get to that point lol!!! I am so excited for you poochie!!! Congrats
Poochie Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Posted August 19, 2015 I'll give the beginning and end tonight. Boring details later. The beginning: The end: I called Dennis a couple of times, but it really wasn't needed. I found what I was looking for while on the phone with him. The dude has the patience of a saint. Unloading the 18 wheeler took a while since it was done in the pouring rain. Anyway, I'll fill in the details later. I'm going to do the burn in tomorrow morning. Maybe even cook on it tomorrow night. I see that my shop floor needs cleaning.
tinyfish Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Look at the shine. It makes me want to go out and polish mine.
PRippley Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Beautiful Poochie, so happy for you! Sleep well!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nanuk Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 WOW Poochie. A magnificent grill. Hope to see some pics of your cooking in it. Again congrats.
Poochie Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Posted August 19, 2015 I blocked out the background because it was so cluttered with boxes, styrofoam and other junk. Burn in today. Yes, it's beautiful. I love it! My image hosting site (photobucket) is giving me fits. There has to be a better one out there.
Poochie Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Posted August 19, 2015 This is testing my photo hosting site.
MacKenzie Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Nice serving tray,aka, drip pan, Poochie. Just waiting to see the grill. Glad all is safe.
CeramicChef Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Poochie - your new KK could not be more stunning! Mega BIG time congrats to you. Take plenty of pics of the inside of your KK because it'll never look that pristine again. Save 'em. They're kinda like baby's first pics! Enjoy your burn in and reward yourself and your family with some nicely seared steaks at the end of the burn. Again, stunning KK. Simply beautiful.
ckreef Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Unfortunately I can see the before picture but not the after picture. Regardless I'm sure it's a beauty.
