Aussie Ora Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 A little bit of curiosity wasn't going to kill this cat but bashing my KK about might! Had to do just that to my brand new 23" as the pizza stone did not fit no harm done its just metal Sent from my SM-G900K using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 All good. I can confirm that my baking stones fit just fine in both KKs with no need for any metal work. AND I have got them the right way round this time Seeing some slow roasted lamb in my near term future, need to get the 21 looking a little less pristine! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a low and slow on the 21" and grilling on the 23" may be the way to go. 50-70 people........THAT is a first big cook!!!!!!

MacKenzie Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Jon, do you think she'd notice if we just popped in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Ha ha. Yes, I would notice. And yes, you would be very welcome. I imagine successful parties have lots in common with establishing a cult. We are always happy to draw new people in and the "regulars" feel more appreciated when others are drawn into the circle. What fun we will have. So far I am settled on sausages, chicken thighs and drumsticks on the 23 and either lamb shoulder or leg on the 21. Shoulder makes more sense because it will be more forgiving if I get the temps/timing wrong. Also wondering about a cod in a cazuela for those who don't eat meat. I should be set on a menu by Saturday and I promise to share some pics. Happy Holidays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 I bought a load of pork ribs at our farmer's market today and thought I would try out a comparison between my KKs for rib cooking capacity. 21" Main Grate Only - 4 slabs 23" Main Grate Only - 5 slabs 21" Main and Top Grate - 6 slabs 23" Main and Top Grate - at least 7 slabs, I ran out of ribs! Size of rib racks for scale 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the surface area available to you is definitely different but for things like ribs or whole chickens I think the difference between the two is not so great. I am definitely in the space where I would say that if you want a good entry to the KK range and can't stretch to a 23" then you should have no regrets with the 21". The real game changer for me is in having two KKs and I am still really grateful for the advice that got me to this combination. 19 hours ago, Bruce Pearson said: I’m with you Mac! Tekobo can I come over for that cook I’ll bring the wine lol Ha ha. You keep threatening to come over. My door is always open and you would both be very welcome. Now put your money where your mouth is and get on that plane! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find that things have changed a bit since then! It's a deal. Sounds like it's a story that will need at least a bottle, or two. Will start laying in supplies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
