The cooker should hit Raleigh on Wednesday, so we hope to arrange for delivery at The Naked Whiz Publishing Empire plaza for Thursday or Friday!

Sorry Whizzy, I hacked the shipper's website and now it is coming to my house. Just hope I can find room for it! You can always come visit it here....hell, I may even cook you something with it!

Woo Hoo whiz, the excitement builds!!

[TheNakedWhiz]

J, sorry, I hacked back in, got it straightened out, then hacked your bank intending to steal all your money and the bank told me I owed THEM!!! Sheeeeeyit!

Anyway, the truck company website says it is in NC! Hoozah! I'll call tomorrow and see about arranging delivery.

It's in Charlotte now! Such fun!

@Naked Whiz:
Observing your angst reminds me of my own impatient wait last summer. The same kind of response to awaiting the cookers' arrival is generated by virtually all buyers, it seems. It reminds me of when I was a kid awaiting Christmas morning. It seemed as if it never would arrive. BTW, although not a native Tarheel, I lived in NC for twenty-one adult years. The last four of those years was spent living in Garner, hard by Raleigh. I miss NC so much. Go by Parker's BBQ and Mayflower seafood restaurant for me, will ya? Enjoy your KK. Paswesley

So, what charcoal will you use first? Hall's Hill Hickory?

[TheNakedWhiz]

That is too far into the future to tell. First thing is to photograph the heck out of it for an update to our review of the KK.

[TheNakedWhiz]

According to RoadRunner tracking, "Pebbles" arrived in Charlotte twice! Once on the second and once on the third. She has been unloaded twice, once on the third and once on the fourth. Maybe dennis shipped me two!

Maybe someone in Charlotte wanted to try Pebbles before you!

[TheNakedWhiz]

Ok, now we have an appointment for Monday afternoon. Woo hoo, as they say!

The confusion lay in the fact that Road Runner was only taking the shipment as far as Charlotte, where they then hand it off to Wilson Trucking. The Road Runner site doesn't really show that, just multiple arrivals and unloadings in Charlotte. Anyway, Monday afternoon it is!

[TheNakedWhiz]

23 minutes and counting!

That said, I have to confess, I won't be able to uncrate this probably until the weekend. It's gonna kill me.

[TheNakedWhiz]

What would you do? Leave in the drive up against the house and covered with a tarp, so that you can unbolt the crate and lift it off, or, put it inside the garage, knowing you can't move the crate once the guy with the pallet jack leaves, and try to disassemble the crate in the garage?

I'm leaning towards inside the garage.

Update: well for better or worse, it's in the garage. We'll see what happens.
