    He kindly posed fer a pic; I was explainin th circumstances, as he unloaded. Nice feller, kudos to him an Old Dominion Freight!!! Turns out he an my next door neighbour are familiar; Matt loads him up every single day, out at Berry Plastics, so we had a quick confab, before Johann had to roll on, to keep his schedule.

      Mr. Bones I'm trying to remember how to cook with charcoal, in my little tiny Smokey Joe. So far, after 3 cooks, I might, maybe, take some pictures of tonight's efforts. The other's tasted good, just didn't look so pretty. And I might have made a mistake, buying lump charcoal, two learning curves at the same time.

      It's sittin here in my driveway, an I'm still in denial/disbelief....

    Here's th assembly destructions, they purty much seem to indicate that I'll need some assist to flip it up onto its tires/skid.

    (Sure, they show a gal doin it, but she's likely tougher than me, an way less elderly, an stoved up! )

    Could I do it? Ooorah!
    Should I do it? Nooorah!

        I wheeled my Yoder off the pallet, alone, when it came. I still can't remember exactly how I managed that. I was too excited to wait for help, but you are clearly much smarter, self-disciplined, and less hasty than I.

        Thrilled to see the speedy delivery of roughly a week & a half!

        From the time good ol' Mr. Bones got the paperwork signed & returned to me, the first call was made by the company in about 6 days, and it was sitting in his driveway 5 days later. for a total of 11 days from the return of the paperwork. It's no Amazon 2-day delivery, but I'd say for something of the sort it's not too bad!

          If Mr. Bones had been hasty , he would have gotten the Hasty Bake.

            And ya know, in a different thread I'm making brash proclamations about the circumstances under which I would buy a Komodo Kamado. There is NO WAY I would ever be able to get it onto the deck.

                Dang Dang, Indeed!!!!!

              CONGRATULATIONS Mr.Bones!!
              This is an older review of the original Good One. I used it quite a bit and it does have some good info hidden in it.
              Mine is an older Open Range--Bought it at Smoke and Fire in Overland Park, and actually met the guy who was building them back then.
              You made a wise choice GrassHopper--these things are built to run forever!!

              Edit to say. Mine is one of the older generations they mention with the painted shelves. Mine are 2 side shelves
