Curly

OK, I've not been to the forums for years. But a year or so I was having a problem holding a low and slow on my 15 year old KK and I posted to Dennis. Darned if he didn't call me to walk me through a fix. Turned out to be nothing more than un-attach and re-attach my gasket with some heat resistant silicon. Well, I did loosen the top to make sure it was square. The very next cook I set it to 225 and it never moved. I've cooked butts and ribs since then with no effort at all. I've known Dennis since he was just getting started with the KK business (16-18 years ago?) and know him to be an incredible business savie person and a man of great personal integrity. I don't know how much time he has spent helping me over the years but if he does that with all of his customers, and I'm sure he does, I don't know how his wife has not left him for neglect by now. Me and the other Kamado owners (the business he saved to become KK) gave him heck at first because we thought he may be a charlaton like the former owner, but no one ever regrets doing business with Denis, he will find a way to right any perceived wrong. So Dennis, this post is basically a shout out to you and to let you know how much I have always appreciated your customer service, I rate it 100%. Thanks again, Kurt

Re: Knives Dave, that's right! I love my henckels and spent what I considered a lot of money on them. That's not to say I wouldn't buy all kinds of really high end functional and artsy knives if I had the funds. I must say, it's very difficult to look at the links in this thread and not want those knives. But who among us doesn't love knives! Many moons ago I bought a set of 4 Forgecraft hi-carbon knives (very old) at a yard sale for 2 dollars. They came with a hanging wooden holder and I was gonna hang them up in the cabin for looks. Now, one of them is one of my favorite knives. Not a high end knife, but I love it. My guess is that these will be inherited by my daughter.

Re: Knives I was at a thrift store the other day and got a block of Henckles (9 knives with 2 missing) for $9 bucks. It had a $19 sticker but since 2 were missing she took $10 off. There was 1 Wusthof in there 2. And coincidentally, all of my cutlery in Henckles. Yes, I'll be visiting that store again. One of the better deals I've ever gotten at the thrift store. Not damascus steel, but at a dollar a knife I'm happy

Re: Komodo availability - Good & Bad News UNBELIEVABLE!!! But we all knew that the incredible customer support would sell these works of art way more than the pictures would. There were many onlookers that were waiting for you to make ONE mistake in your CS and after 6 years (is that right) they've now either bought one or left the building. I just feel sorry for those that left the building Keep on doing what you do bro, somehow it just keeps on getting better.

Re: Komodo availability - Good & Bad News Wow Dennis, I love that news. If I were on the fence I'd be getting off about now and paypal'ing you some cash. Hey Sanny, I've seen those eyes before. And hey to all of ya'll that I haven't talked to in a while.

Do you putt up to the window

Although I typically don't understand most of what you write Syzygies, dang, it sounds like you think this fella is the anti-gore for creating something that doesn't work in your foodsaver (which I also have). Had he done it your way none of the folks with the other machines could use it right? What would have been the right thing for him to do. You go ahead and write it all out and I'll have someone explain it to me

Yeah, that makes perfect sense

So, you just turn it on when you're ready for his nap to be over

Yeah, that Levi Blue is nice.

My favoright color too...oh well.

Wow, yard dog. Can you post the recipe

Re: We bought a KK I've always loved that color tile...it just seems to go with our log cabin

How do you want them sent? Email to you?

I gotta feeling you're gonna have to ramp up again.

Well maybe, but only if you can "find" an image of the virgin Mary on it. That slice of toast fetched $28,000 ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4034787.stm ). If you can't find a pre-existing image, maybe one of these will help: http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/Hol ... amper.html Yeah, now I'm wondering how many 28k cheese sandwiches I've probably eaten

Put it on Ebay...you may get a bidding war and make a fortune.

Yep, looks very handy.

Re: presentation Hey Mguerra, now all you have to do is convince Mrs. T Rex You have to know "when to hold them and when to fold them" and I don't think that I am holding a winning hand...... T Rex I'm with you, reluctantly surrender the plate and then when you need another big toy (maybe another cooker) you can remind here of the sacrifice.

Yeah, I was reminding my daughter of that very thing this week-end I have eaten butter dipped lobster until I felt like I had several pounds of butter in my stomach...definately too much of a good thing. But it was really good up until then.

T Rex...you may want to think about a more seafoody handle...man I could eat those prawns 3 times a day. I'm very jealous of your of all those pics...wish I lived on the ocean.

They look huge in that second picture. What size KK is that?

After I cook a butt (any long slow cook really) I open it up and let it get pretty hot. Seems to clean it out real nice.

Re: Ahh I did not do the waiting between - Good idea I'll take mine without all those giant mushrooms on, thanks. No fungus, no bugs. Well, you like my cousin right? He was a fungi
