Memphishusky Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 Tomorrow between 9AM and 12PM I will officially be a KK32 owner......well if the trucking company comes through. It's been quite the journey and hours upon hours of analysis. Absolutely hit the paralysis by analysis stage, but powered through and after talking to Dennis pulled the trigger. Also a shoutout to my new buddy CeramicChef, as he provided some sage-like advice. The color decision became a family battle with mommy winning- shocker right! We decided on a color Dennis called "Levi". So we have narrowed the names down to "501" or "Strauss", trust ya'll can figure out why. Got a few accessories- extra basket and splitter, the grate grabbers, rib rack, and 5 boxes of each type of charcoal. Figured I should load up to take advantage of the low shipping. Thrilled to shortly be in the family, though my credit card says I am already. Pictures and unpack process to follow. 1
CeramicChef Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 @Memphishusky - well my Friend, tomorrow is a cardinal day indeed! Congrats to you and the whole family. Take lots of pics. You'll want them for your own memories as well as posting here. We love to share in your glee and remember when our KKs hit the house. It's a very special day, second only to the First Cook!
bosco Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 Awesome and congrats. Can't wait to see some pictures
ckreef Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 Awesome. Can't wait to see it out in all its glory. Reef's Bistro
CeramicChef Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 @Memphishusky - and thus starts the beginning of a great adventure for you and your family! I can't wait to see more.
MacKenzie Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 Looks like today is the day, looking forward to seeing it unpacked.
Memphishusky Posted July 7, 2016 Author Report Posted July 7, 2016 The wife and the neighbors wife got it unpacked. Me, the wife and the sprinkler system crew then got it to the backyard. We played a leapfrog game with plywood sheets to get through the garden and to the patio, when it now rests. Taking a break from the Memphis heat before fully unwrapping and taking further pics. Moving the Bad Boy was a lesson in physics. Objects in motion........don't stay on the path or the plywood. wow. 2
MacKenzie Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 Looking great, and more to come. Yes. once you get it rolling look out best not to let it get away on you.
CeramicChef Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 Looking good in da hood! Keep those pictures coming.
Memphishusky Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Posted July 8, 2016 Live update. Now understand Christmas in July- there were presents inside the grill. I did mash the holy crap out of one finger. Glad the kids were inside. New pics 3
CeramicChef Posted July 8, 2016 Report Posted July 8, 2016 Keep 'em coming! That's a beautiful 32"! Congrats to you. Can everyone but me see all the pics? 6 total. All I get are the last two.
Memphishusky Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Posted July 8, 2016 Finally done. Wow what a task but so worth it. Targeting Saturday for burn-in. Can't wait to sweat in 97 degree heat while getting a grill slowly to 500. 2
MacKenzie Posted July 8, 2016 Report Posted July 8, 2016 I can see a gorgeous pix with the little boy and one with just the KK.
CeramicChef Posted July 8, 2016 Report Posted July 8, 2016 @Memphishusky - I absolutely love the picture of your Suos Chef inspecting the new Oven/Grill/Bakery Oven/Smoker! What a great picture! Now, during the burn in, it is absolutely imperative that you stay well hydrated, 12 COLD ounces at a time!
Izzy Posted July 8, 2016 Report Posted July 8, 2016 Welcome to the Komodo Kamado family! This blue is stunning! Mine was delivered last Friday and I've been having fun with it. The customer service is out of this world and everyone on this forum is great.
