tinyfish Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 I have 2 x 23" KK's and if I had to do it again I would go with the 23" and 32" combo. The 32" gives you that extra space for direct cooking. 1

The 32" gives you that extra space for direct cooking. Interesting and something I was wondering about. Seems like the oval shape of the 32 would be a bit more 2-zone friendly as well. And I'd likely want the rotisserie on the 32 for the extra size. I could see the 23 as my primary for low n' slow and day-to-day use, and the 32 for my party rig, rotisserie, and larger direct cooks. Is it March 2017 yet?
bosco Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 I still say by August. You have the KK flu bad
ckreef Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 I think August is to close around the corner. But I will say a rotisserie turkey for Thanksgiving is my guess. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
Pequod Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) I'd be good with a KK rotisseried turkey in November, and if it was only one KK we're talking I bet it'd happen. I've aaalmooost got wife biting on one...lure is in the water. Not ready to dangle the bait of two just yet. She's still recovering from the shock of my suggesting we part ways with my smoker.

Aussie Ora Posted July 20, 2016 Report Posted July 20, 2016 This old engineer did his thesis on internal aerothermochemistry -- what goes on inside rocket motors -- and spent the early part of his career working on the space shuttle motors. I see twin KK's as strap on boosters. Just crank open those vents and let 'er rip. Problem is we've got a sign error on the thrust vector. Alright...enough geeking out for today. That's awesome can you help me fix my spaceship so I can finally get out of here this planet is doing my head in lol Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨

If that project fails, at least I'll have something to cook on once the lights go out!

tony b Posted July 20, 2016 Report Posted July 20, 2016 @HalfSmoke - done geeking out for the day - (btw - I worked in nuclear power for 32 years before retiring. My Masters Thesis was a 3-D heat transfer model for a new reactor control blade design using Hafnium as the control element. Yeah, I can geek out with the best of them!) 2

CeramicChef Posted July 20, 2016 Report Posted July 20, 2016 Damn! And I was feeling pretty proud of optimizing a generalized cubic equation of state for natural gas and gas mixtures! Ill just my seat in the back of class and shut up!
Aussie Ora Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 And here I am still trying to get the lid of the pasta jar lol Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨ 1
Pequod Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Posted July 21, 2016 We need to stop this geek talk and get back to the matter at hand before I accidentally name my imaginary KK's "Navier" and "Stokes". [That'll send some of you running to Google and result in night terrors]
Stile88 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 Lol taking from newton 's playbook i see Good names for sure for your kk's

Pequod Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Posted July 21, 2016 Question: I've seen reference to "venting" in some posts on this forum. I assume this is some sort of burn-in process. What is that process?
tony b Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 Yes, there is a break-in process for the elastomeric layer under the tiles before you cook at very high temps (you can do low & slow cooks forever without doing it.) Folks sweat doing it, but it's not that complicated, just long - takes a few hours. It will be described in your Owner's Manual when you buy your KK. 1
