You'll be fine. The rationale of " any gas grill worth the money will
be at least a grand" worked for me. (start high and bid down).
Your smoked turkey will give all mouths present something better to do
than talking, that's for sure.
Unloading, ideas, recipes, and support group therapy for the upcoming

Bandera? It's a good start on a still (some cutting and welding needed)

I'm waiting on my *third* Kamado to be delivered on the 10th. You can never
have too many Kamados. ;-)

You aren't going to be in any trouble, except that you'll always get the

Search the other areas of the forum, there are plenty of unloading tips
there.

They're having problems with importing any large quantities. I've got 125
pounds of it on order. It was supposed to be shipped with my #3, but the
lump got held up overseas, or something like that. I'm still waiting.
Everything I've heard about it has been positive.

Yeah, I'm interested in a used Bandera. Where in the southeast are you?

I'm in Tampa, Fl. but I make sometimes sudden trips to Tn.

Schedule a bbq and buy plenty of beer. When the guests arrive, tell
'em they don't get either till the crockery gets unloaded ...safely.

Think turkey for xmas, it takes a while to get it to you.

It comes crated up pretty well; an appliance dolly and 2 strong backs with a
3rd for backup would work. And, of course, the necessary amount of moving
beverages. OTOH, it cost me under $100 to get it delivered off of a lift
gate truck.

Not to disagree with my pal Schidt, but I wouldn't attempt to unload a
packed #7 off a truck with any fewer than 4 big boys. IIRC, the shipping
weight is over 400 lbs. I used a fork lift, the easy way to do it. Drop it
and you'll cry like a baby.

You aren't going to need more than two or three fist-sized chunks of
wood. See my web site for tips on doing a Thanksgiving turkey:

Your K will come crated in an industrial-strength crate of 2X4s and
plywood. I suppose you could uncrate it and then wheel it down the
ramp, but it might be easier to move it crate and all with a HEAVY
DUTY dolly. Either way, you'll want at least three bodies. A #7 is
heavy.

I suggest looking into the additional charge for having it delivered
to your door. It only cost me $45 extra to have my #7 delivered. Be
sure that Conway understands that you need a truck with a lift gate
and a pallet dolly.

Why? Are you expecting replies by e-mail?

PS: Be sure to have some pork butts on hand for the break-in period.
No sense in wasting all that heat, when you can cook on it straight
out of the box.

Miranda, Miranda, Miranda! You lie like a Turkish Rug ;0)
You needed the K because it was large enough to prepare Monroe,
remember? Until he caught on & down-sized the order to #5 for safety
reasons.

Does he still lug it all over the place, [just to keep it out of your
hands, of course ;0) ]?

FWIW, I unloaded my #7 K from the back of my pickup (4WD, so it's up there)
with the modest assistance of my father and father-in-law. All they did was
steady it on the way down the ramps. Used a regular hand truck and two
aluminum motorcycle ramps.

When I built a new deck, I used the same ramps and hand truck and got the
beastie on the deck (3' higher than where it was) by myself. Uncrated, it's
a bit lighter, but not much. One key was strapping it *tightly* to the hand
truck with two ratchet straps. I ain't a little guy, but that was about the
limit of my strength.
