Arizona Steve Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hello All-Arizona Steve here, Well I finally pulled the trigger. After several conversations with Dennis, I landed on the Big Bad 32” in cobalt blue pebble. Very exciting! I’m located in Northern Arizona, USA - just south of Flagstaff at about 6800 feet above sea level in the Coconino Forest. As I’m writing this post, my backyard is under major construction so my Big Bad 32” will stay crated for approximately 2 weeks. What a tease!!! Here are a few pics till the unveiling of (yes I have already named the KK) “ZEUS”. The GOD of Blue Sky’s and Thunder. I will post uncreating pictures and backyard completion soon!

jonj Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Welcome! Nice you had the bobcat available. Would have been quite a haul otherwise from the looks of the access road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Steve Posted August 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hey JonJ, yeah I was afraid initially to tell the bobcat operator how much this crazy thing weighs! Lol. At least the bobcats capacity was around 1800lbs. Thank goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Not only did you get a ma-mouth grill but you have a ma-mouth project. Love the pixs can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Steve Posted August 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Thanks MacKenIe, yeah it looks like war zone around here. Should look very different in the next two weeks. I’ll post updated pictures,at that time, Edited August 18, 2019 by Arizona Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphonse Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Congratulations! I am looking forward to seeing it out of the box. That is one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 You should have some relaxing cooks in that gorgeous setting once it's complete. I believe at 6800 feet you may run your top air and bottom air a bit more open than say sea level, curious to know. Anyhow, Good luck and congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Steve Posted August 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Thank u Tyrus, yeah that’s something I was wondering about as well living at the higher elevations. In two weeks we will know the answer, I will keep u posted! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Welcome to the Obsession! Like everyone else, looking forward to the uncrating pics and seeing it in its brand new home! I'll be curious as well to see how the altitude affects things. You might be flying solo on this one, as I don't think anyone else on the Forum lives up in the clouds!

Arizona Steve Posted August 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 tony b, yeah I haven’t even begun to page through the forum for altitude use. I may throw out there that we have Dennis come to AZ to tame Zeus. Lol. Stay tuned for updates! And thank u!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimac23 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Welcome Steve. Great pics of the unloading, and what a location! Can't wait to see more pics of the uncrating and the burn in and first cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Welcome Steve. I'm going through the same at the moment, however, I have a lot less room and a lot less access than you. I wish I could get a bobcat into my back yard. After 1 hour of digging shale my hands are ripped up- been pushing pens for too long. We have been thinking about selling up and moving after 20 years, however, we are close to schools, work, community and decided last night that we will do a complete renovation, starting with the back yard. Keep the photos coming and I'll share mine on "The Clock is Ticking". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Steve Posted August 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hey Basher, thanks for the warm welcome and wishes! I’m stressing out because half of the week I’m not able to be on site but for Thursdays in the afternoons till Monday mornings. I still have a J.O.B. to contend with down in the desert (150 miles south) in Scottsdale, AZ. I think once it’s all done all the stress will disappear and likely say: that wasn’t so bad and what a great outdoor living space we now have! Here is a picture from 2 weekends ago-the first one is my loyal companion Moka-she is 11 year old chocolate LAB and loves being in the high country with her daddy-me.... The second picture of a small female deer. Where is a bow when u need one? Lol keep us posted with your progress as well. Chat with us Soon!
