Hello from Atlanta

Recommended Posts

Hello All - 

I am looking forward to learning some of the tips and tricks of using a KK from this group.  I have been cooking on a primo xl for the past 10 years, and after rebuilding the hinge (again) decided it was time to evaluate long term options.  

After research, debate and a couple of conversations with Dennis (thank you), we decided on the 42.  It was delivered last week and we built the ramp to pull it up to the house, got it located, etc.  Now working through burn in/venting and some of the basic short cooks to “get to know it”.  Looking forward to trying the first long cook over the holiday weekend.

Here are a few of the delivery/moving day/ first cook pictures:

Cheers

Welcome to the Obsession! WOW is all I can say - that thing is just massive!! You are going to be so impressed by this grill over your old Primo, you'll wonder why you didn't upgrade after the 1st hinge repair. Can't wait to see pics of those first cooks!

Thanks for the welcome - 

Both BGE and Primo are in Atlanta, a 10 min drive to either for me . . . not the most obvious choice to switch to KK.  Having Dennis call with answers less than a day after emailing questions has helped.  

The ramp was scary, but did the job pretty much as expected 😜  The alternatives were a 40 ton crane parked in the drive to lift it over the house or building a ramp 2.5x as long in the backyard to get it to deck height.  There are some things I might do differently (video, take the lid off!) but hope to never do that again!  

Here are the first low and slow cook pictures.  Put the shoulder on last night at 11 and added the ribs this morning at 630.  So far so good . . . .

Cheers!
