ckreef Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Today I had a nice conversation with Dennis. At the beginning of the conversation he asked if I had received the teak handled grill grippers yet. I told him the package was delivered today but I was not home from work yet. We talked about a lot of things and we talked about my upcoming KK purchase. Along the way I asked about a 16.5" grill shaped dip pan. He told me, "Maybe I'll surprise you one day." I got home today to a rather big package from Dennis - way bigger than grill grippers. Opening that box was like Christmas in October. First up is the grill grippers. TY Bryan for the great pizza contest prize. Also included was a 16.5" basket splitter. And the star of the show was a 16.5" grill shaped drip pan/deflector. He wasn't wrong when he told me he would surprise me one day. I am totally excited about this and it will get used on a regular and constant basis. After all that I was left speechless. I knew the grill grippers were coming but I had no idea about the other items. KK's and Dennis - the finest kamado, person and company to deal with. I am so glad I went KK instead of a Primo. 2

ckreef Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Posted October 14, 2015 Wanted to post a couple more drip pan pictures. This isn't a thin shabby drip pan. 7 1/2 lbs of SS for a 16.5" kamado Here is the lump basket ready to go and the drip pan inserted. 1
bosco Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 wow that it a quality piece right there!!
DennisLinkletter Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 FYI.. that is a double bottomed drip pan! Tap on one side.. can't feel it on the other.. LOL
Poochie Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 The drip pan is one of the few accessories I didn't get. I may have to bite the bullet and order one. Looks great, ckreef.
ckreef Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Posted October 15, 2015 FYI.. that is a double bottomed drip pan! Tap on one side.. can't feel it on the other.. LOL That is completely awesome. I didn't realize that, I just knew it was thick and robust. The Reefs put it to good use last night. Mrs skreef whipped up a quick small meatloaf. I'll confess the drip pan is so Purdy I lined it with foil - LOL
MacKenzie Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Just couldn't resist playing with one to the new toys could you? You even have a tasty looking meatloaf to boot
tony b Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Can't wait to hear what you're going to do with that double-lined drip pan, ckreef! On my "wish list," but down a ways behind some other "toys."
ckreef Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Posted October 15, 2015 Just couldn't resist playing with one to the new toys could you? You even have a tasty looking meatloaf to boot Absolutely couldn't resist. Mrs skreef made the meatloaf just so we could try it out. I really hate the idea of drippings going down into the bottom of the KK so I'm sort of a drip pan fanatic. Other than baking there are only a few things I'll cook directly. This drip pan will see a lot of use.

On my "wish list," but down a ways behind some other "toys."Ever since this morning when I read that my brain has been exploring the possibilities. Something will be coming soon.
