tinyfish Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 What a beauty! Looks big to me just look at the firebox, huge!!
ckreef Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Thanks. Ckreef, about the dome, first you have to loosen two screws that hold the steel plate that covers the spring. Are you talking about the 2 bolts that go to the inside of the grill? Or are you talking about the two screws that could be gotten to from the inside top of the steel plate by the spring? I would need to use a pair of needle nose pliers to reach in there to loosen these. I'm asking this because I want to put a little more tension on my spring. Also if I buy another KK (19" table top) I would probably have to remove the dome so two people could easily manage it up a few stairs.

MacKenzie Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Gorgeous, I love that colour. But then why wouldn't I? It is the same as I picked:) It is nice to see that your new KK is safe and sound.

ckreef Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 TY tinyfish - unfortunately I already have that manual and it doesn't really answers the question I am asking. I believe it's the two Allen head screws that reside inside the top part of the back cover. It will take pliers to loosen these. Just wanted a confirmation before I start doing that.
CeramicChef Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Nanuk - WOWZERS! That 32 is almost as handsome as TheBeast! Seriously, that is a wonderful looking 32. And that 32 is lucky to be owned by you. Now get busy, do the burn in, and get to cooking some great Que! Congrats to you!
Nanuk Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Posted September 5, 2015 Ckreef, you are correct, it's the two allen screws on the top of the back cover, then you pull the top of the back cover and take it out. The screws on mine were 5mm. And only used an allen wrench. Hope this helps.

The screws on mine were 5mm. And only used an allen wrench. Hope this helps. That is exactly what I was looking for. Mine being a 16.5" that area is really small and a normal Allen wrench will definitely not fit between the screw and the spring. I'll try cutting an Allen wrench extra short and see if I can squeeze it in there. Something I've had to do on a few occasions for my motorcycle. It does look like it was tightened down with pliers as the edge of the Allen head screws are slightly marred.
tony b Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Glad to hear/see that it made it safely to the ground and onto the patio!!! HURRAY!! Now for those pics of the all-important virgin cook! Did you decide on what "meat" you were going to do?? For a fast cook, there's chicken. For the most-forgiving cook, it's pork butt. You'll need to do your burn-in before tackling steaks, as they are best done (IMHO) at scorching high heat.
Nanuk Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Posted September 5, 2015 Tony B after thinking about the first cook I'll do the burn in first.
tony b Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Remember, you can cook during the burn-in. All the volatiles you are trying to purge are on the outside of the grill, under the tiles. Safe to cook. No sense using up all that charcoal and not having something to eat afterwards!
Nanuk Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Posted September 5, 2015 Tony, thanks, but I'm doing it right now with nothing except the grills in it. So if they had any residue or chemical it would go out to. But thank you.
Poochie Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 Beautiful Komodo, Nanuk. I love the pebble look but I also love the bronze tiles. You have a great cooker that will last a lifetime and then some. Keep it as busy as you can!
wilburpan Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 I’m so happy that you got your KK 32†set up and running. Good job getting it in place!
Nanuk Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks Poochie I'll try and keep up.
Nanuk Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Posted September 13, 2015 Wilbur thanks for everything, you made me think a lot about the size to choose from.
