Welcome, their are a grunch of nice folks on here, and I'm sure they look forward to your build.

I agree on trying the hole first knowing that he has a bulkhead mounted spare in bound from corporate.

Its not hard drilling into a Kamado. I have drilled into my Primo XL and 3 of my friends installing the clip kit. I will admit I had to work myself up to doing it. Had visions of bad things happening during the process. I followed the instructions utilized the die tap and then drilled out the holes with a masonry bit. I hope the original poster has success with his new dome.

Congrats on your find.

Welcome... Congrats on your cooker and BTW your Mrs. is a keeper.

I could put a "hurtin" on that great looking brisket.

I'm tuned in and waiting to catch a glimpse of the guest of honor.

I have a bib, eating utensils and will travel...Very nice looking prime rib.

Welcome Smokindadbbq, I too am "dual cool" well maybe not cool and post on both forums over on the green one I am tiewunon. Lots of friendly folks here and not much of the "OT" drivel.

Have never passed up a piece of cornbread. My wife has added blueberries in the past also. Along a different subject their is a BBQ place in Windsor NC called Bunns BBQ and they serve some killer cornbread and if you want your BBQ sandwich will be made with 2 slices of cornbread. Count yourself lucky if you get a corner piece.

Welcome, Don't retire that PK yet it has a place amongst your grills. Congrats on your Big Joe.
