Aussie Ora Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm interested in the firebox to grate height on the 19 Outback Kamado Bar and Grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyfish Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thats one of my new favorite colours. I think that colour would look so awesome in a backyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I started out cooking on my father's BGE that he purchased in Japan and had it shipped back in 1959 or 1960. After the military and college I purchased a place to build a home of my own AND purchased a Kamado because I missed it so much. It was what was sold as a "California Kamado" with a glazed exterior so the maintenance was easier. It was a 21" as I recall. I had it for 20 years and when we moved it stayed; I missed it and tried to duplicate with a masonry firebox and masonry surround for it with bottom draft but I could not duplicated the dome so I got a Weber dome. It just was not the same cooking experience AND the grill was an 18" diameter cooking area. I always was fighting the heat zones so fast forward to today and I have a BB32 and love its cooking area. I can move the food to the area of the grill that is the hottest or coldest. I can adjust the firebox size for whatever it is I plan on cooking. There is plenty of distance between the fire and the grill (s) so you can sear or smoke, your choice. The roti baskets are just a plus as are the great cooking stone. I know in the future I will probably get the TT16 so 2 different cooks can be going at the same time. As a recommendation for 1 (one) KK the 23 would be a real great cooker if you only want to own 1. Black Pebble would show less soot if black fits into your architectural theme. Happy cooking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 look into getting some wedges under the wheels. I would hate to see that roll back on you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 What a beautiful view and such a nice place to have your KK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FotonDrv Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Ha! Actually it was the first thing I did, look under the rear wheels and you will see wedges. When I built the patio, which is 8ft off the ground at the highest point, I planned for a drainage slope so water will not sit on it in a pool and freeze into a skating rink. That is a good tip though for anyone putting a KK onto any sloped surface, they roll very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday so tempting The company I work for does ACA enrollments and we are going a new two week training with the possible changes that maybe coming down the road. I'm not supposed to be on this site while I at work but can't help myself plus I can do two things at one time-lol but once everything slows down would love to take you up on the offer. I haven't been to Syracuse since I was a small boy that would seriously be good fun. Garvin Edited January 9, 2017 by Garvinque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon B. Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 My unpacking only showed me moving the KK from work and onto my mobile cart. skreef has an excellent unpacking thread HERE IT IS. You are welcome to visit anytime that fits your schedule. It would be nice if you could see it in person before you hit the order button. I have seen Bosco's 23" & 32" KK, so I can give you my impressions of those and how they compare to the 19". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pequod Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 @Garvinque - time for an update. On track? Which KK are you thinking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvinque Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Still on track for my order for middle of May and I am leaning towards a 19tt but now not sure about the color, still love that green glass but wouldn't mind a black pebble or see if Dennis has a black and green pebble combo. If I went the custom pebble way, I would ask for mostly black with green mixed in. Garvin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Awesome! I think a 19TT would serve you well, no matter what color you choose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I have a 23" and a 19", both in bronze, (the only real color). The 19" is more capable than 90% of Kamados out there, the only others are other kk's. whatever color you pick, you're gonna love it!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvinque Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 @5698k I saw your outdoor kitchen on the website for the KK and I nearly broke my jaw from it dropping so fast Garvin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon B. Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm sounding like a broken record.................You need to make the short drive to Syracuse................... so you can touch, feel, fire up & cook something on a 19TT !!!!!!!!!!!! Of course you will end up getting the Terra Cotta Cream Tiles after you see them in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
