GoFrogs91 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Looking great reef. That would be a disaster if I put it together. Benton Quote
ckreef Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Posted October 19, 2015 ck, you are going to have to have a Grand Opening when all is done. Grand Opening with fireworks and all. Quote
tinyfish Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Good going adding the extra support. I would hate to see a KK get hurt. Quote
PRippley Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Forget the people, looks like they don't have far to fall, but glad you reinforced the deck ckreef, we don't want anything to happen to Pro and Cass. Quote
tony b Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 I did most of my decking in Trex (no maintenance), and the corner where the KK sits was done in Iron Wood (won't burn and any scorches from stray coals can be easily sanded out). Quote
ckreef Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Final trim boards installed this evening. So what's next? Wait for new KK to arrive. First few days of November me and Mrs skreef need to do our November guru challenge cooks. At that point Prometheus comes off the porch so I can build a stand for both KK's. While that's happening there will be no kamado cooking. I hope to have that complete within 4 weeks but before Christmas at the latest. Edited October 23, 2015 by ckreef Quote
MacKenzie Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 Looks great, ck. I can't imagine you and sk without any KK cooking. Maybe you can set them up so that you can get some cooks done. I hope so. Quote

I hope so.I'm taking a different approach. If I totally take down the KK's it'll move me along to complete the stand that much faster. That is why I sold my Akorns some time ago, forced my own hand at getting a second KK sooner rather than later. Quote
MacKenzie Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 Sounds like a great idea. I understand your thinking. Quote
GoFrogs91 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 Boooooooo. No hiatus! Move the cinder blocks and fire it up. Don't go slacking reef, your standards are too high. Benton Quote

Poochie Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 I like your trim boards. It really adds a nice touch to the Bistro. What is the small wire running near the bottom? Phone? Quote
ckreef Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Posted October 24, 2015 I like your trim boards. It really adds a nice touch to the Bistro. What is the small wire running near the bottom? Phone?That's the bottom lighting. LED rope lighting. Goes along the entire bottom edge of the Bistro. If I turn that on by itself it give a nice subdued mood lighting effect good for after dinner cocktails. Quote
PRippley Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 Love those LED lights, we are going to have to get some of those for our back patio project. Hoping to get the lumber today. Saphira deserves better than the 4x8 snap together grill cover from Home Depot!😕 Quote
ckreef Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Posted October 24, 2015 This is what I have for temporary storage of my BBQ "stuff". Next spring I'll make something more permanent out of wood. For now it's the right size and works. Best part is, it retails for $149, manager put it on clearance for me for $50. Yea I couldn't pass it up and it's not totally ugly - LOL Quote
tinyfish Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 Looks like that holds a lot of toys. Quote
