Alohapiggy Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 I really like the matte black pebble but that color isn’t offered in the 32 BB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you can't special order a matte black one, I'd check with Dennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pescador Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Agree - check with Dennis. I just got mine (matte black tile, which cooks a bit better than the pebble) three or so months ago. I seem to recall that matte black pebble was available at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empirical proof that pebbles cook better Quote Last summer I started testing an elastomeric industrial insulation that incorporates nano ceramic spheres created in a high temp vacuum.. It is marketed as an outdoor spray on insulation for reducing heat loss as well as OSHA rated protection from exposed high temp pipes (designed to be used as an insulation for the space station/shuttle. A 385ºf high temp steam pipe can be sprayed with 1.5mm of this material and you can grab the pipe with your bare hand and not be burned. It not only wears great but drastically improves the cookers performance buy reflecting heat waves back into the cooker. I'm also now using it as an adhesive to attach my most current production. (and yes this is intended to be funny, not start a pebbles vs tile war....cause everyone knows pebbles cook better!) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the pebbles make for much moister cooks, better temperature control..... 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am concerned that your reference to "recently" implies that you have sneaked a new KK into your ODK without proper scrutiny.

And deal with the wrath from the losers. Scientific proof? Well, I'm sure in a survey of respondents who own pebble KKs, we'll have a unanimous verdict. We'll leave control as a concept for cooking. Statistical validity of the sample? 100% conclusive. Honestly, trust me on this. 😎 2 minutes ago, tekobo said: I am concerned that your reference to "recently" implies that you have sneaked a new KK into your ODK without proper scrutiny. I hope, for your sake, that is not the case. Don't worry, the marching band, video crew and applauding neighbours are scheduled. I only got the invoice from Dennis a couple days ago as everyone has been on holiday so not sent funds to Dennis as yet. Having last minute spec indecision.... (do I need two side tables and will I actually use a double thickness drip tray?) I'm also having my driveway graded and reformatted next week and about 1000 hedging plants delivered as part of the landscaping endeavour. My new electric gate (which I designed) arrived a few weeks back so I've been a bit distracted with project management jobs. The gate weighed just under 400KG so based on the lifting team who set it in place, I know who I'm gonna call when the KK arrives! 😃 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All grills can be built in all tile colors, it's just sold out. 32's this year are outselling 23's by a good margin.. Argh, We just ran out. I usually have 5-6 of both blacks in stock. Building them now. I've sold 7 Bronze 32's in less than a month and am down to my last one. Here I am complaining about great sales!

Basher Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) I'm not surprised Dennis. I was fixed on the 23". After reading all the posts they significantly sway everyone towards the 32" Given I have stacks of other cooking options( sous vide, steam oven, convection oven, gas bbq, Kamado, soon to be open fire grill- really a disguise ODK to house a KK) I still think I'm a 23" Edited June 14, 2019 by Basher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
