MacKenzie Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks, PJ, it's nice to hear from you. What exciting things have you been up too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRippley Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Not much, a busy summer of work, then some travel this fall. I am finally going to get some KK time in tonight, my sweetheart wants to try Jamie Oliver's "Insanity" burger, so I am going to give it a go!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 That sounds tasty beyond belief. Looking forward to the pixs.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billg71 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 That is so sweet, Ms. Pebbles has a daughter! I think you need a Mr. Pebbles to complete the family like a BB32 or, if Ms. Pebbles is into the he-man type maybe the 42. Just a suggestion... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thank you, billg. I love that suggestion. I'll take it under advisement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billg71 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I meant to wish you congratulations on your new KK, just got swept up in the moment. Congrats! They make a perfect pair! And thanks for the pics, they're great! Edited October 15, 2016 by billg71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Mac congrats on the new addition. I have to ask what does this all mean for the primo?? i love those straight rods and can't wait to order them as well as the cold smoke generator. Those are true beauties and now you have me thinking about the trifecta again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon B. Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Mackenzie........Little Miss Pebbles is going to love her new home!!! Looks like she has settled in quite nicely. That is one heck of a temporary stand....she is not going anywhere!! Also love the sign above her perch. So happy she finally arrived after the long journey across the ocean and Canada. Enjoy and have fun trying out all the extra Dennis goodies that you got with her. Too much fun!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sold it to one of the guys on the Primo site who lives in Halifax. He owns a brewery there and my guess she traded it for a 5 years supply of craft beer!!!!! Smart woman, that MacKenzie!!!!! PS - I assume you are back from your world travels. Lets make a plan get together soon and plan your trifecta!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 John I have two grills ready to entertain you whenever you are ready!! Mac giving up my KJs wasnbitter sweet. They were my Intro into the Kamado world. I loved them and many that know me from the guru, know just how passionate I was for them. They are just next door but honestly cooking on my KKs has been an incredible experience. Knowing Kamado cooking as well as I did and upgrading to the KK allowed me to appreciate all the subtle differences that make KK the leader in design and quality. Welcome to the full KK experience Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 That trifecta idea is very attractive. We'll be empty nesters in 2 years, so really like the idea of a smaller KK for smaller cooks. Still need to get the bifecta before I can think trifecta, though.

MacKenzie Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Thanks everyone I'll have to admit this was a very good move. I am having tons of fun with it. My Primo Jr was sold to a friend of my brewer friend so I didn't get any beer in the deal but I did take my friend and his assistant out to dinner the last time I was in Hfx. and came home with whiskey barrel wood for smoking. Now I just have to get a proper rolling stand built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyfish Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Sorry MacKenzie, I wasn't on the forum till today and look what I see....Little Mrs Pebbles. Your outdoor kitchen just got an excellent upgrade, congratulations! !!!!! Keep an eye on the little one, remember CK's 16 was moving/shifting on the stand with the lid opening and closing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks for that reminder, tinyfish. From my previous experience with other grills I have been trained to open the lid carefully, an old habit but one work paying attention to, thanks again. Fortunately not a lot to worry about with the KK but better safe than sorry. Little Ms. Pebbles might wiggle a little but there is no danger of her falling over backwards.

ckreef Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Another thing I did with the stand is put a couple of pavers to get some air between the bottom of the 16" and the wood. I know Dennis says it's not needed but that bottom SS gets pretty hot when high heat searing. I was just worried that over time that heat would start to char the wood if set directly on wood.
