Re: Can't put it out! I would second that. I too was overly cautious with the top damper on my first cook and didn't lock it down tight enough...guilty as charged your honour.

Re: How did you find Komodo Kamado I found KK following a lot of research that started as far from Kamado style grills as you can get, but ended up there. The short story is I needed a replacement for my weber kettle, and initially started looking at gasser units, and upon a visit to BBQ's Galore to buy one, stumbled across a Kamado Joe unit they were selling. Whilst researching my new found interest in Kamado style grills, I quickly dropped the gasser option and decided upon the KK based on reviews on the web, and my desire to have the best. Speaking with Dennis sealed the deal.

Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Think I found another one...the following section used to be visible to all site visitors, whilst logged out, to let prospective owners know of the private members area, that they can become a member of once they have pruchased a KK. It is now only visible once you've logged in. A prospective owner who isn't otherwise aware of the private area will therefore never know about it.

Re: Setting up Warehousing & Distribution centers in AU & CA Fantastic news. Which Aus city are you looking at ?

Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. Not sure about anyone else but I can see the owners area / forum whilst logged out. This used to be private, only visible to registered users/members. I have deleted all cookies set by the board (bottom right hand corner of the forum page), but this made no difference.

Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. I still have this problem unfortunately. View Unread Posts returns posts I have already read, in addition to unread posts. On the upside the search function works for me now - reindexing the database appears to have fixed that.

Re: Hi from Melbourne Thanks Andrew, will be paying this guy in Dingley Village a visit ! George

It's here Just took delivery of my 23" KK and this thing is huge! Now to unpack this beast and set it to work! First cook tips anyone ? Something nice and easy for starters would be appreciated...total newbie here. Can't stop smiling

Re: Another new KK in Northern California Congratulations on your new KK! Looks fantastic. This post piqued my interest because I ordered the exact same one, should reach me (in the land of Oz) in 3-4 weeks...can't wait.

Re: Hi from Melbourne Andrew, I was thinking the same for the first few cooks until I get the hang of it all (i.e. source my charcoal from local take away shops that use charcoal or from BBQs Galore). I've found another supplier in Dingley Village who supplies charcoal to restaurants, but haven't checked out his product yet. I visited the furniture guy's shop yesterday in Dandenong to discuss / agree transport back to my place. He wasn't there, spoke to one of the other staff instead. I noticed he sells some nice furniture, so if you are into cane outdoor furniture (like I am), you might want to check it out. I eventually buckled and picked up an outdoor setting, organised for it to be delivered with the KK when it arrives, end Aug/start Sep. George

Re: Hi from Melbourne Hi Andrew, congratulations on your decision to take the plunge - I'm sure it will be a hit with family/friends come spring & summer. I placed my cover order with JohhnyBoy when I ordered my KK a couple of weeks ago, so unfortunately I'll have to give your kind offer a miss. Its a very simple ordering process by the way, the hardest part is selecting which colour/pattern you want for your cover. I'm still looking for a local supplier of lump charcoal though, any ideas? My local BBQs Galore sell the Kamodo Joe brand as well as their own brand, but I have no idea if either is any good. Cheers, George

Re: Hi from Melbourne Hi Andrew, I too have just placed an order for a 23" KK, expect it to arrive in Mel late August - really looking forward to it (I ordered the olive and gold pebble tile with side tables). Just wondering how you went with delivery of your KK, specifically how you got it home. Did you use the furniture store guy to deliver it, the prices do look reasonable. I need to get mine to Ivanhoe East from Dandenong. How has your experience with your KK been so far? In the meantime I'll be trauling this site for "how-to" tips and tricks. Even though I've only ever owned charcoal grills before (i.e webers and the old school grill my family used growing up), I'll be starting from scratch to learn how to use my new toy, so far limited to this forum, Google and Youtube. Cheers, George
