CeramicChef Posted July 3, 2016 Report Posted July 3, 2016 Son of a dadgummed gun! Those are some gorgeous KK BB 32s! Two of 'em. WOWZERS! Congrats. If your son is grinning as large as he is, you've got to be running around with all teeth showing. Welcome aboard and welcome to The Obsession!
ckreef Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 Dang it man. That is awesome. Can't wait to see some more pictures. Reef's Bistro
Aussie Ora Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 Looking good Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨ 1
Lannoos Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 Looks like 'pocket aces' to me. I bet the neighborhood is in for a tasty July 4th given you new found capacity! What's for dinner? 1
CeramicChef Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 @Lannoos - so we've played a little poker, huh? Been there, done that! Welcome to the KK BBQ table!
tony b Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 Welcome to the Obsession. Those double 32"s look spectacular. Can't wait to set the pics of them in their final home spot and them in action!! 1
Lannoos Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 Pocket Aces seemed like a good analogy for twin 32's! Hard to beat! and yes CC, I have been seated at a few poker tables.... wouldn't exactly say that I 'play' as yet. I'm always a welcome contributor it seems.... 2
FastGlass Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Break in....Rock steady at 530F +/- 10deg. for 2 hrs now. Forgot I needed to do this before grilling. Our trusty 22.5 Weber Smokey Mountain saved the day... Lots of venting on the pebble, virtually none so far on the square tile. Edited July 5, 2016 by FastGlass 1
FastGlass Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Also, what am I going to do with this drip pan!!!? I can't use this! It's a GD work of ART!! No way I'm using it for its intended purpose. Fortunately I got the double drip pan to catch the yum, but if anyone on here loves great coffee as much as great food, you may have heard of this guy, Kees Van Westin, who makes these insane hand made espresso machines....this reminds me of that immediately.

tony b Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 They are very pretty for what they're intended for, but that's just how Dennis rolls! 1
PRippley Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 Beautiful KKs, congrats! Can't wait to see pictures of them in their "habitat"! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
bosco Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 looks great. Don't worry about the pebble venting it is very normal on pebbles. 1
FastGlass Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Posted July 6, 2016 Ha....I worried. Called Dennis at 2am Eastern time. The pebble had 4 spots where it vented that it pulled up a bit off the ceramic. He was so cool to explain everything. I followed the procedure to a "T"....except where you are supposed to take temp back down if you see lifting. I kept it steady....530 for 3 hours, 50deg more every 30/40 minutes...let sit at 750 till started to cool. Now, the grills are at 250F, I'm going to try again to get the lifted parts back down, but honestly, it's only slightly visible at all...but I can FEEL it when I push that area...it won't stay down in those 4 spots. I opened up the holes to definitely release vapor, but those spots are just not sitting on the ceramic alike they used to. I'm being assured it's no big deal if not visibly discernable as a bubble. On to clean up and grout.... 1
