Izzy Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 My contractor just wrapped up my custom 17' x 7' grill gazebo today. Within the next 2-3 weeks, I plan to have the custom outdoor kitchen built right under the gazebo. I ordered side tables with my KK 32, but it now appears I won't ever use them. Also, I received my rotisserie motor today. I did not expect it to be so heavy. Won't it damage the KK 32 if it is permanently mounted on the side? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You went with the extra heavy duty model motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ora Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I just read your dilemma sorry to hear mate the gazebo looks cool love the angles on the roof and I'm pretty sure that motor will spin a pig I have no idea if it will cause damage just leaving it there but I would just disconnect it and put it in one of your inbuilt kitchen cupboards when not in use .I'm with you about the side tables I ordered mine but have come up with a plan that may never see me using them hmm bugger it I will get them turn them into nice wall art if I don't use them lol Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Izzy, you are going to have a wonderful space for the KK and it will make your outdoor cooking a real pleasure.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 That is a big motor. It's not going to hurt anything where the bracket mounts to the KK. It uses the same holes and bolts that the side table uses. The only issue is the weight of the motor warping the mounting bracket and that probably won't be an issue either. . Most people just remove the motor when not in use as it only takes a minute or two to remove or install the motor. Reef's Bistro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Nice gazebo. Can't wait to see the finished outdoor kitchen and KK setup. While it won't hurt the KK or likely the mounting bracket to leave the motor on, I'd take it off to be on the safe side. It's an easy on/off operation. Plus, I don't like leaving electrical equipment out in the elements if it's not built for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hi Izzy; I also ordered the large side motor. The smaller motor spends at 3 RPM's and the big motor spins at 2 RPM's. Don't know how that will translate in the cooking. The bracket is pretty heavy duty and I think the motor will do just fine, but like the guys say better to take it off if you are not using it. If you decide you want to leave it place my opinion is it will hang there just perfectly. I called Dennis to ask where to put the bracket and he said to mount it behind the table brackets. Mine didn't fit behind so I mounted in front of the bracket and it works fine, especially with the adjustable bracket. Your gazebo looks great, please send more pictures when its finished.

Izzy Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 It is event day today and my ribs are still not done. They've been on the oval since 4:00 AM. I went to sleep around 6:00 AM and woke up at 7:30 AM. To my consternation, when when I went to check the ribs, I noticed that the temperature had dropped from 250 before I went to sleep to 160 degrees. I had plenty of charcoal in there, but I guess I should have opened the vent a little more given that I was using the deflector plates. That's just too bad because I still need to cook burgers and hot dogs. If only I had received my KK 32! The guests will be here in 3 hours.

CeramicChef Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 @Izzy - here's the deal. You need to turbo cook these ribs. Kick the temp up to 275-300, wrap the ribs, and relax. Unwrap the ribs about 30 minutes before done. That'll set the bark. You're going to be just fine. As for the burgers and dawgs, those are easy peasy, so don't sweat those. Dawgs cook quick and burgers are best right off the grill. At least that's what I always tell me guests! Relax and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Don't sweat it, mate. Do as Ken suggested and turbo finish those ribs. They'll be great, since they've gotten all the smoke that they're going to absorb by now anyway, so you're not sacrificing any flavor by wrapping them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Breaking News: The KK 32 arrived at the terminal today, but no delivery has been scheduled. I've been tracking the KK 32 and I saw this morning that it had arrived at the terminal. This afternoon I called to arrange for a delivery, but I was put on hold on for too long and had to hang up. Tomorrow would have been a perfect day for the delivery, but it had to be scheduled today. Oh well, I hope to hear from them tomorrow. As for my event on Saturday, everything went well. The oval did a lot of heavy lifting and everyone raved about the ribs! How can I ever get rid of my oval? When my KK 32 did not show up, my oval saved the day. A number of folks came under the grill gazebo to take a look at the oval and were very impressed. When some of them learned I had a new grill on the way, they could not understand why I needed a new grill. When I told them as great as the oval is, the new grill is in a league of its own. Is it an Egg? My response was NO. Is it a Joe? NO. "What is it then?", another person asked. I replied it was Komodo Kamado Big Bad 32 and of course, I had to spell it. One lady googled it immediately and almost went under cardiac arrest. "OMG! You paid that much for a grill?", she asked. My wife who was nearby overhead and immediately said "I don't want to know. I don't want to know. He said it was expensive". That lady made things worse by shouting "He bought a charcoal grill that costs more than than a Wolf or Viking range!". Then my wife said "Honey! Honey! What? Anyway, please hurry up with those burgers!". Later that evening, my wife insisted that she did not want to know about the price. I guess I am now in trouble! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 My wife was dead set against it. The day they arrived and I set them up she said "oh those are pretty". Never bothered me again. Now she brags about them more than I do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5698k Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Wolfs and Vikings aren't Komodo Kamados, never will be. You have the single finest charcoal grill available coming to your door, and once you have it, the rest will be a distant memory Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyfish Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Your not alone. If my wife finds out how much my 2 KK'S cost, I'M DEAD!!! Good thing I bought them during the 2 for 1 sale...lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the best stretching of the truth I've heard yet when buying a kamado. LOL . Doesn't work so well when your wife cruises the forums. .

MacKenzie Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) I'm not telling the cost either. Mum's the word;) He'd never guess in a million years.
