I hate you guys (PKGO)
MCS is strong, I'm trying to round out my cooker and fuel options... I have a pellet grill, and planned to add a gasser (ideally a flat top but maybe something something else), and well we all travel at some point. So what better way to add a 3rd fuel option to a household in hurricane country than to get a PKGo?!?!

ItsAllGoneToTheDogs this is a lot of fun for lighting charcoal: https://grillblazer.com/products/grillgun-set
However, it's pricey and for some reason what was already super expensive has gone up 25% in the last 6 months. Though in all honesty, a chimney works just fine and is what I use most of the time.

gcdmd I'm going on my 10th year living in NC, so have unfortunately got some hurricane experience under my belt. Luckily only 2 were super bad, but it was enough that I have some above average preparation methods

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." ~Benjamin Franklin
This post reminded me to see if PK has the tailgater stand for the original PK grill back in stock. They do, just bought one. I'm taking the PK to Fredericksburg next month, the tailgater will fit in the car much better than the original stand.
I used the AR portal to PK grills through the review on the free side so that AR gets credit for my purchase.Last edited by 58limited; April 20, 2021, 05:50 PM.

Oh man... FedEx possibly ruined my day... Last week I had an order from Wisconsin Cheese Mart that FedEx said was delivered but never was (checked video surveillance around the supposed delivery time). WCM was awesome and got me a new order out which was delivered today at the exact same time my PKGo supposedly was. Only problem is the lady dropped the cheese off at my door, and then (I assume) put the PK in the driveway in a dead spot between 2 of my cameras. I'm pretty sure she dropped it off because I hear a door open and shut a minute before she gets back in the van....
Sure hope that PK is still there when I get home

Well, I got lucky (and live in a fairly decent neighborhood)... Not sure why the driver couldn't be bothered to go up the steps twice, but it is what it is.
Opening the box was easy, and KodiAKK was excited.
The internals are a bit over packed, but I'm sure theres a reason why. Some scissors made quick work of the layers of plastic and zip ties. Do be careful, some small bits of plastic stayed on the tips of the charcoal grate.
10 minutes or so to get it all out and the handle on and we're in business.
Just a hot and fast tonight to burn in, and will do some halloumi cheese. Also need to teach the dogs about fire safety until I build a platform on my deck for it.

Mr. Bones, they figured it out fairly quick with their front ends... gonna take me a while to get them to watch where their fluffy tails are though. Not a huge deal when the lid is closed, but lighting the fire I was a bit concerned about a floof tail becoming a POOF tail.
