TheNomad Posted April 8, 2018 Report Posted April 8, 2018 The timer was stopped at six years and a few odd months when we finally pulled the trigger the other day after a few weeks of talking to Dennis who is a true gem of a human being. Our 23” inch Terra Blue with almost all the accessories it can come with will be arriving on Friday the 13th! I wanted to say that we are very excited to finally be a member of this awesome worldwide family and look forward to posting pictures of the arrival and virgin cooks next week. 8
MacKenzie Posted April 8, 2018 Report Posted April 8, 2018 TheNomd, that's the spirit, your KK is going to knock your socks off and so will the taste of the food you cook on it. Get your camera ready we do love to see lots and lots of delivery pixs. 1
Bruce Pearson Posted April 8, 2018 Report Posted April 8, 2018 Mr.Nomad welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new KK! You are going to love it. Looking forward to delivery pics and first cook pics 1

Yeah, it's funny how it takes so many of us so long to acclimatise to the idea of spending that much money on a cooker and then when you do finally take the leap you wonder what took you so long! Welcome. 1
Stile88 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Posted April 9, 2018 Welcome to the kk family excellent color choice 1
TheNomad Posted April 9, 2018 Author Report Posted April 9, 2018 Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. Looking forward to sharing all the cooks I do with you all and learning from you as well. Definitely taking a half day off on Friday so I can unpack the Dragon Egg!!! 2
TheNomad Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Just got word it will be arriving a day early! Thank you Dennis! Best excuse to leave work early. Ever. Pics will be uploaded tomorrow. Edited April 11, 2018 by TheNomad 2
TheNomad Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) She arrived in great form without a scratch. The Dragon Egg is so gorgeous! I can’t beleive how much better it looks and feels in person. I will be posting the unpacking photos later on today, but here she is in her spot inside the garage. I have about a half an inch drop from garage to pavement, I’m buying an aluminum door threshold from Lowes today to fasten to the floor for easy roll in/roll out. - 2 side tables - teak grate grabbers - 8” rotisserie rack - pizza stone - charcoal basket splitter I also carefully removed one of the “Komodo Kamado” signs with my wife’s idea and put it up on the wall! Badass! More pics to follow! Doing the burn today after work to be ready for my Spare rib and pork belly weekend festival this weekend. Edited April 13, 2018 by TheNomad 6
Pequod Posted April 13, 2018 Report Posted April 13, 2018 Gorgeous grill! Dennis will soon be here to tell you your side tables are on backward. 1
5698k Posted April 13, 2018 Report Posted April 13, 2018 Looks like you’re ready to go! Just an FYI, the burn in isn’t necessary before any cooks below roughly 350°, you can cook as much as you like. By all means though, do the burn in when you’re ready. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’ll blame it on the warehouse. My tables were returned by a previous customer for all teak ones and I guess they swapped boxes when they repacked them LOL!

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Yes sir! Made sense to me in the owners manual Dennis emailed to me. Might as well get it out of the way! Got the ribs marinating in some home made dry rub already!
tony b Posted April 13, 2018 Report Posted April 13, 2018 Excellent! Can't wait to see those ribs on the grill!!
Bruce Pearson Posted April 13, 2018 Report Posted April 13, 2018 Nice looking kK looking forward to the first cook. I like your sign. I didn’t have those on my crate or if I did I through them out. But Dennis made me a nice sign. I have it mounted on a cross beam out in my lanai. Happy grilling.
