Tangles Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Firstly thanks to all the forum members here - great wealth of knowledge and so helpful. Aussie Ora has been really helpful with his local knowledge. Dennis and his team are first class. My KK arrived today. Wow... is all that I can say. It was larger than I anticipated. Packed so well and heavy very heavy. Such a beautiful thing. My neighbour saw me unpacking it and asked it if was a green egg. I had to say, well sort of but 1000's better. She said it looked awesome and so looks like they will be inviting themselves for dinner Name wise, we decided on Norberta el Drac or Ned for short. Norberta was chosen by the kids after a Harry Potter dragon. El Drac is gaudi art piece in Barcelona. I think Mackenzie said to let the kids chose as it would be theirs down the track. So a couple of pics. So once unpacked I managed to get it down the ramp. Next challenge was to get it to the alfresco around the back. It couldn't fit through the door at the back of the garage. So thought I would get it through the side gate. Nope... too hard going over lawn. So through the house it was going to go. Ramped it up and broke the ramp hahaha. Called brother for help and we managed to get it through the house to the alfresco out the back. So plan is to do the burn in tomorrow. Will start around 10:30. Burgers for lunch. Rib eyes for dinner. Might try to do some dinner rolls as well. Will let it run till about 9-10pm. Hopefully that will be enough. Will take more pics tomorrow. Need to clean up the alfresco area too... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Welcome to the Obsession and thanks for the pictures. Can't wait to see it in action. And, don't fret the burn-in; it's not as difficult as people believe it to be, just takes patience (and a few adult beverages make the process go smoother - LOL!)

CeramicChef Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Very nice KK and it looks great in its new home. Congrats! Now let's light some lump, get that KK conditioned with a nice burn in, and get some meat on the grill and on the table. Again, welcome to the KK family and congrats.
