twolken68 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Hello: My name is Tom from Kansas City, I was wanting to know if anyone had pictures of the umbrella cover for the Ultimate 23? I just drove from Kansas City to Davenport Iowa to pick up an Ultimate 23 from a private owner. It is brand new, been on the original pallet from KK for a year or so and never used. I am anxious to start using it to say the least. I have been an egg owner for many years and can't wait until I can get the KK grill into its final resting place and start doing what this grill does best which makes incredible food. Tom
MacKenzie Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Welcome, you are going to be amazed at the KK can and does do every day. Your food is moving to the next level. We hope you will post lots of pixs of your new purchase.:)
Rak Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Welcome to the forum! Looking forward to seeing pictures!
5698k Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 I'm guessing you're referring to covers made from sunbrella material. It's a synthetic material similar to canvas used for boat covers, awnings, etc., highly UV resistant, very durable, you can search sunbrella on the net. Most KK owners like to show pics of their grills uncovered, but you might be able to find cover pics. Look on the KK website, you might be able to order there. There's no better cover for your new baby, I recommend them highly. Pics of your grill are required, and we'd love to hear whatever you care to share about your purchase, but mostly, congratulations on your KK!
twolken68 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks for the information Robert. I bought mine from a private owner in Davenport IA, I found it on ebay of all places. A gentlemen ordered it and he passed away and I bought it from his daughter who had been storing it for a year in a garage. She did not want the grill and I was very happy to purchase it. It will be a few weeks before it will be ready for pictures. My deck is going to be replaced and framed up to support the weight of the new KK. Take Care, Tom
5698k Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Again, congrats on your grill, you're in for a very pleasant experience, the kk is in a class of its own, but since you have egg experience, your learning curve will be very small. FYI, in case you didn't know, the bolts on the bottoms of the legs are all you need to remove in order to lift off the entire crate. Second, the very top of the crate is a ramp for rolling the grill off the pallet. Robert
Gnomatic Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 Nice purchase and welcome to the forum! I have a cover on mine, and it's extremely well made.(like anything else KK) It does a great job. I'll try to snag a few pics here soon.
bosco Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 the KK cover is great quality!!! Well worth it I wonder if this would qualify to be warrantied still if this has never been used??? Maybe a call to Dennis and intro yourself Also check out the store and grab some great accessories for it!!!!
twolken68 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Posted February 23, 2016 Once I get it home I will get the serial number off the grill and contact Dennis and let him know he has another loyal follower out there!
bosco Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 That is awesome. You are going to love Dennis and more importantly that KK!!! What tile finish did you get??
bosco Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 awesome where did you find it?? Craigslist?? Is the add still up so we can take a peak of it??
Geo Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Congratulations on your purchase, twolken68. It's very unusual to find a KK for sale. You did good! Will be watching for pictures. In case you haven't noticed, everything requires pictures here. I just purchased a KK today... She's a 23 like yours. Looking forward to reading about, and seeing, your posts.
cschaaf Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Welcome! I am also a new 23" owner. Haven't had the chance to fire it up yet - hopefully tomorrow!
ckreef Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Congratulations. Can't wait to see some pictures. Lots of new KK owners coming on board. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
tony b Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Welcome and congratulations on your find! Here's a picture of my 23" KK with the sunbrella cover on. It call it a burqa for obvious reasons! 1
DennisLinkletter Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Sunbrella Covers Komodo Kamado makes custom covers A little about these covers. We use the best material we can find, 'Exterior Marine grade Sunbrella, color fast, breathable, resistant to sun, mold, mildew, atmospheric chemicals, salt, rain, etc. comes from the manufacturer with a 10 year warranty (excluding labor). The best warranty in the industry. Sunbrella is the material you see used in the marinas on 80% of the boats/sail covers. Seams are double sewn waterproof style, seam edges turned under and sewn. Heavy 18oz. nylon reinforced vinyl (truck tarp) is sewn inside around the mid section (6" wide band), and inside the very top to protect from rubbing against top of hat(damper), hinge, etc.. There's also a matching sunbrella handle sewn flat into the top; comes in handy for handling the covers during install/removal and can also be used to hang the cover while not in use. These will be made up and shipped on the next container leaving Indonesia or sent out directly post to you from Indo..

tinyfish Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Sunbrella is a great material and Dennis makes the nicest covers I've seen. Here's mine 1
Jon B. Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Welcome & Congratulations Tom! Sweet find!! If your new grill is going to sit outside, Sunbrella is the choice to make to protect your investment. A couple of my Sunbrella boat tarps are 15 years + and still look new.
Rak Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 I agree, the Sunbrella covers are great. I'm very happy with mine.
