Alohapiggy Posted May 10, 2019 Report Posted May 10, 2019 I order my Komodo Kamado yesterday just waiting on shipping updates. I’m super excited and I also sold my egg. I can’t wait to share pics and stories with everyone. I gonna miss my egg so I’m gonna get as much cooks on it before i sell it. 2
MacKenzie Posted May 10, 2019 Report Posted May 10, 2019 WOW, that is wonderful news and you won't be looking back, you'll only be wishing you'd done it sooner.
Alohapiggy Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Posted May 10, 2019 I can’t wait I plan on taking few days off when it arrives. My friend actually purchased my egg and he wants it very soon. So I probably won’t barbecuing for while which sucks. So when my grill arrives it will used a lot.

tony b Posted May 10, 2019 Report Posted May 10, 2019 Welcome to the Obsession! Can't wait to see the pics of the uncrating and those first cooks! What size and color did you order??
Alohapiggy Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Posted May 10, 2019 I hate to admit this but I’m glad I sold my egg. Don’t get me wrong great grill and it started my passion for Kamado cooking. But my gasket (not even a year old) needs to be replaced and my base and fire box have hair linecracks. I know BGE has a fantastic warranty but I really hate taking it apart. To me it’s a hassle cause mine sits in a table. It’s so damn difficult to get the dome and base lined up correctly.
Alohapiggy Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Posted May 10, 2019 I got a 21 in metallic bronze. I only have/had one grill my large BGE. It was a perfect size for me. I bought a Ps wood rack with upper extension to give me more room. I think the 21 is the same size as the large BGE so it should work out fine.
El Pescador Posted May 10, 2019 Report Posted May 10, 2019 Congrats @Alohapiggy - you're gonna love it!
Alohapiggy Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Posted May 10, 2019 I’m getting prepared i just put an online order to ace for some more Rockwood. I’m down to 4 bags of Rockwood and 2 bags of KJ big block.
tekobo Posted May 10, 2019 Report Posted May 10, 2019 Welcome to the 21 club @Alohapiggy. Metallic bronze is a great colour. I look forward to seeing your new KK in all its beauty.

No your 21" Supreme is MUCH larger than a large BGE which is only 18.25" diameter.. 21" left to right and 20" front to rear.. Just saying! 3
Alohapiggy Posted May 11, 2019 Author Report Posted May 11, 2019 Thanks for all your help Dennis Linkletter, l can’t wait to see my grill. 1

I had 2 eggs that i sold before my KK arrived yes it sucks not grilling but when you get your new kk the only regret will be why you didnt pull trigger sooner all the things you are saying wrong with the egg is the reason most of us got KK's You wont look back Congrats and welcome to the KK family Excellect color choice
Tyrus Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 Congrats on the new KK, hope you got the roto. Hey, if you can't get a cook in because the green egg is gone to your friends house just go chase down that lava flow.
Alohapiggy Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Posted May 13, 2019 I didn’t get the roto. I ended up selling my to my friend. So he’s letting me use till I get my KK. There’s no lava on my island haha.
Tyrus Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 Oh well. Neither did I at first but, soon warmed up to that idea.
alimac23 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 Congratulations! Fantastic choice, you're going to love every minute of it! The only advice i would give it to have a think about the accessories you might want i the future, I didn't order the rotisserie with mine and i ended up ordering it later and picking it up from Dennis in Bali. My point is that when you order your grill, the shipping on the other accessories you order at the same time is effectively free, this is especially important for things like pizza stones and other bits that are heavy and could cost a lot to ship later on, especially to Australia as is in my case. Just my 2c worth. Can't wait to see the cool unboxing pics and your first cooks!
