SSgt93 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Well after days of deliberating on color, I finally ordered the SBB42.... in matte black pebble. I want to thank everyone on here who gave advice. Don’t hate me if you were rooting for cobalt blue pebble! Lol. Now the wait for delivery. Oh, I did order a blue cover though lol. And yes, the alcohol does work..... in moderation. Edited May 24, 2019 by SSgt93 6
alimac23 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Posted May 23, 2019 Congratulations! i was lucky enough to get to see the 42 when i was at Dennis's place in Bali late last year. That thing really is a beast in terms of real estate and the design is simply amazing! Where abouts are you based? Are you in the US and get to get your grill relatively quickly, or do you have all the fun ahead of tracking various ships as it wings its way to you? Id love to see the unboxing, burn in and first cook pics when it arrives. 2

Enjoy the anticipation - the day it arrives will be a memorable one! Haha, I’ve been BBQ’ing for 20+ years now and have always been intrigued by KK. I’ve been using Green Eggs for 10+ years and really like the Kamado style of BBQ and did not want to leave it.... but I wanted more, as well as more space. The BGE’s will be sold. I contemplated going to the 32, but after seeing the 42 in person and how easy it is to do a whole hog, it sealed the deal. I wanted more space and it’s on the way. 12 hours ago, Braai-Q said: Awesome. Go big or go bigger seems to be the forum rule! Looking forward to the grand reveal. Thank you, I’m looking forward to the arrival. I will document it well. If anyone else is on Instagram, I am the same user name on there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
jonj Posted May 24, 2019 Report Posted May 24, 2019 Terrific! Another midwest USA KK (although I was rooting for the cobalt blue)! 1
Stile88 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Posted May 24, 2019 Congrats and welcome to the KK family even though i was in the cobalt blue corner that matte black pebble is sharp great color choice your going to love it .. Now remember lots of delivery pics when you get that beast 1
SSgt93 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Report Posted May 24, 2019 Terrific! Another midwest USA KK (although I was rooting for the cobalt blue)! I could have gone either way and been happy, but after seeing that matte black 42, I knew it was screaming my name. Plus I have a thing for rock and roll, classic bbq colors, and even my ink is black; it made sense! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Buschjs Posted May 24, 2019 Report Posted May 24, 2019 Congrats! I was amazed at the size of my 32” when it arrived. Pictures just don’t do these cookers justice. I would imagine the 42” is amazing in person. Great color choice also! 1

I will get some good pics when it comes in and try to size reference them a bit. I don’t think people understand how massive it is until they see it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SSgt93 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Report Posted May 31, 2019 UPDATE:I’m told it has been booked and am awaiting the tracking. I’m hoping it will be here next week as We actually don’t have plans next weekend and it’s a rarity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
El Pescador Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 Yeah now! I remember the anticipation well - best thing since Christmas as a child! You're gonna be blown away! 1
