The timing was perfect. In respect for Prince, we can call it the 22" "formerly know as 21"... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the shape of the 21->22 inch, guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To be fair the 21/22" had not been around long enough to collect many comments.. But I know that some people absolutely buy it over the 23 because of the way it looks.. They are actually priced the same if you add the lower grate to the package.

Cookie Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I think I had the first '21,' Dennis??? It pays to live just across the Java Sea from the factory. New house on Aug 1. Do I dare get a 3rd KK, I can finally go big daddy if I want... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Cookie, you have a collector's KK too.:) and now a third KK, why not, sounds perfect to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is a very manageable price point for a large demographic. The 42" enters such unchartered waters, I really have absolutely no clue, even ball park until we get all the way thru to having one crated.

travisaus Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi Dennis, Do you have a link to the 22" Hi-Cap Table top (on your website perhaps??). I wasn't able to locate one. I am in the market soon for this size / style - however was under the impression that the 19" was the largest so this is good news for me! thanks & regards.

egmiii Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 The 22" high cap table top is still in development. It's well along last I heard, but I don't believe they are for sale yet, so you won't find anything on the website. It's much larger than the 19" from a surface area perspective and is also a bit taller. This brings the firebox further down from the main grate, which increases low and slow performance. if you were considering one, it will be well worth the wait.

DennisLinkletter Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 The molds for the 22" Table Top are finished and in the factory. I believe the first ones have already been cast. All the metal components are the same as the standing version except the larger charcoal basket. As you can see I made sure the advantage of the standing grill's distance from charcoal to main grate was not lost.. That blue grill is a 23" Ultimate. Now is this table top a beast or what? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisLinkletter Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thank you.. I think this size is important for those who want a full size table top to replace the XL sizes of the traditional glazed pot kamados. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbrayniak Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi All, I have been admiring the KK grills for a while now and I still am no where near having the funds to purchase one but wanted to see what people's thoughts were on this size of grill? Here on the central coast of CA we also have Santa Maria style BBQ that I simply can't replicate in my BGE so I also have that style as well and in the future I am looking to do a built in Santa Maria grill and wanted a Table Top like this to sit next to it but not sure how this size is working for others. When I cook on my BGE I am usually doing some whole chickens or pulled pork for big get-togethers... Cooking for just the family I will cook some steaks on the BGE sometimes but I usually find the cooking surface of my large BGE to be a little constricting for more than 3 steaks so I usually do those on the Santa Maria as well but I prefer small cooks on the BGE due to faster start times(coal vs. wood) and the overall convenience of the grill. Therefore, I was hoping the KK 22 TT would be the perfect fit but wonder if it is still a little small for grilling for a family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I have a 23, which is roughly the same size as the 22. My guess is you’d find the 22 will do the job, but if you can describe the cooks you’d like to do I can tell you a bit more. How many steaks? How many whole chickens?

tony b Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 The simplest answer - Call Dennis. He's great to work with, will listen to what you are looking for, will ask all the right questions, there's no pressure to buy or try to upsell you. But, from what you've told us, it sounds like the 22" TT is what you're looking for. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the info to do a direct comparison (see advice to call Dennis), but your Large BGE has a cooking area of 262 sq in. The 23" main grate (roughly the same size as the 22" TT's) has a cooking area of 375 sq in. = 43% bigger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I would do exactly as Tony suggested, call Dennis. There will only be honest help and NO pressure to do one thing or another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 2 large bge's and i found it to be the same i now have the kk 23 and at times i wish i got the 32 but the 23 is perfect for all my needs weather i am cooking for myself or family i have a family of 4 btw my kk takes the same amount of time to start up as the bge did. the 22 is terrific as well as all the kk's plus the 22 has the high cap top good luck on your decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith B Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hello, Check out this link to get a feel for the quantity of food that you can fit on a 22" Hi Cap. Mine is the standing version but identical in size to the table top. Fully Loaded my 22 Hi Cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbrayniak Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Thanks all for your replies. I may give him a call when closer to a purchase. Been very busy lately and forgot.my login info...go figure. The Ace Hardware walking distance from the house has the new Kamado Joe and the air hinge is so nice that my wife immediately wanted it. But we both agree we would rather save longer and get a KK. I'm hoping we will see some options like the dojoe and pizza porta for the KK soon since those are getting popular. I bake lots of sourdough on my BGE with a little apple wood chips and want to adapt the recipe to thin crust pizza... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
