Stile88 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I had a tile fall off dennis told me to use the grout which is the adhesive and grout use a soft wet sponge to wipe excess Edited August 23, 2016 by Stile88 1 Quote
Pequod Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Posted August 23, 2016 Makes sense to me. I guess the biggest question is whether I'm cleared hot to burn in or should attach the loose pebbles first. Quote
ckreef Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 You should really call Dennis about the loose edge pebnles/tiles. They are different compared to pebbles/tiles in the middle. It also depends on weather it's just the pebbles that came off or did the grout jacket separate from the cement. Really nice looking KK. Quote
MacKenzie Posted August 24, 2016 Report Posted August 24, 2016 What a beauty your new KK is and great that all hands on deck were able to put it in the correct location. 1 Quote

Talked with Dennis. He's sending me some info on the fix, but nothing major. Cut away some of old and use the tube in the repair kit. Doesn't affect burn-in, so doing that today and will do pebble repair later. Easy peasy. 2 Quote
Aussie Ora Posted August 24, 2016 Report Posted August 24, 2016 That's good news mate bummer you have to do a repair so soon but it will all work out fine Outback Kamado Bar and Grill Quote
Pequod Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Posted August 24, 2016 No worries on the repair. The engineer in me is happy to have something to fix...and very minor. First light: And here she is running up to temp. Much better light this AM than yesterday's pics at dusk. Only my first time behind the wheel, but very pleased with how responsive the KK is to the vents. 1 Quote
Pequod Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Posted August 24, 2016 Sorting through my gear while the burn-in proceeds. Questions on the rotisserie: 1) what are the springs for? 2) I have the OneGrill motor. Have read somewhere about reversing the motor. Do I need to do this? Quote
ckreef Posted August 24, 2016 Report Posted August 24, 2016 The springs are for the small shaft that goes into the motor. A lot of us (myself included) don't use them. Not really needed with the new adjustable mounting bracket. Looking into the shaft socket of the motor it should turn clockwise. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Pequod Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Perfect! Thanks! And my motor is definitely turning clockwise, so seems I'm cleared hot on a rotisserie chicken this weekend. Edited August 24, 2016 by HalfSmoke 1 Quote
CeramicChef Posted August 24, 2016 Report Posted August 24, 2016 @HalfSmoke - congrats on the new arrival! She's a beauty and looks great on your patio. That's a really nice setting. Follow the instructions Dennis gives you and you'll be fine with those loose tiles. I'm looking forward to pics of your first cook. Again, congrats! 1 Quote
Bruce Pearson Posted August 24, 2016 Report Posted August 24, 2016 Beautiful KK and such a lovely setting lots of great pictures hope all goes well with the loose tiles. Looking forward to your first cook. Congratulations 1 Quote
Pequod Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Posted August 24, 2016 First cook while doing the burn in. There she is in the "Go" position. A simple cook of some Souflima. Pork tenderloin medallions that have been marinating in oil, lemon juice, garlic (lots!), salt, and oregano. Very tasty. As the cook progresses, the heavens parted and angels sang. Note the light halo over the KK. If that's not a good sign, I don't know what is! 3 Quote

Pequod Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Posted August 24, 2016 Sure. Here ya go: 2 pork tenderloin 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lbs, cut into medallions Marinade: 1/2 cup olive oil 4 cloves garlic minced 2 lemon juiced 2 tablespoon dried oregano 2 tablespoon kosher salt I marinate 6-8 hours. Skewer and grill. Best with some tzatziki. 1 Quote
MacKenzie Posted August 24, 2016 Report Posted August 24, 2016 HalfSmoke, you are indeed safe to wind up for a rotisserie cook. Only 1 spring maybe needed if any, I do use mine, the others are spares in case you loose one. Quote
MacKenzie Posted August 24, 2016 Report Posted August 24, 2016 That porkloin cooks was perfect, you are on a roll:) 1 Quote
