The New PK 360 Grill

[70monte]

The bottom air dampers are interesting to me. I have not been able to tell if there is some sort of "gauge" to let you know if you are 1/4 or 1/2 or full open. Please let us know when you get it how you can "adjust" the bottom air vents...................

From one of the video's they have posted on their website, it looks like that on the plastic knob on the front of the air tubes, there is a mark that indicates what I assume is fully open when the mark is on the top of the knob in the middle of it.  I don't think there are any other indicators that tells the degree to which the air tubes are going closed.  I will take some pictures and give my opinions on how these work when I get it.

Well, I did break weak and ordered the new PK360.  I decided the size would not be a real issue since I have other grills and don't plan on getting rid of all of them.  I guess watching the video's on this new grill too many times put me over the edge and I decided I needed to have one. LOL

Good for you Wayne! You gotta be nice to you every once in a while!
I'm very anxious to see and hear your thoughts on it. It sure is a beauty and if I didn't already have the original I would be very very tempted to do what you did! I do love mine more than any other charcoal grill that I've used. Hope you're very happy with it!

I really like this new PK but I want to wait for a lower price point. 
In the mean time I will cook on it through pics of your cook.

I think I've been way too nice to myself this year. LOL  I've bought an original style PK grill, the Good One Open Range, A new Weber Mastertouch which is still in the box, and a Kettle Pizza which is also still in the box.  I also bought all of the new PK grill accessories so I could have bought one of the new Weber Summit grill with the built in table for what I've spent this year.

I really do like my original PK and cook on it more than the others.  I'm sure I'm going to like this new one as well.

I would love for it to be cheaper but I don't know if they will eventually lower the price.  I guess it depends on how well it sells.  I already have all of the accessories that come with this new grill so I wish I could have bought the grill cheaper and they keep the accessories but I guess it's okay to have extras.

Knowing PK, they don't lower prices. I just wish they came out with a larger offering. Why offer something so similar to your original model. Why answer the shortcomings of a grill that has been out since 1952?

I have been begging Martha for years for a larger grill. They should have brought back the "Presidential 1200" model which was there largest model way back when ........

Not hating on the PK360. It is a marvel of aluminum and well thought out. If someone does not have the original Pk, go for it. I was just hoping for something more......Oh well, maybe the next new Pk release

There is supposedly an XL version coming out but I don't know if it's supposed to be modeled after the original version or the 360 one. Who knows what the price point will be.

I just bit the bullet and ordered a PK360.  We are looking forward to receiving the new grill, and are depending on the shipping estimate (12/20) for it to arrive in time for us to use during our .New Years Day party.  We already have a Blaz'n Grill Works GridIron for the low and slow stuff, and this new cooker will mainly be used for grilling and  will likely replace the #7 Kamado we have been using since 1999.

I just noticed that on the lid, it says established 1952.

By strange coincidence, so was I .
