Poochie Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yep, he's still around. Doesn't look anymore like he did in that photo, but he's still in shape. He was in Enter the Dragon and several VanDamm movies (Bloodsport). The one and only Bolo Yeung. So Bolo is a name I'm tossing around for the Bronze Komodo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Rider Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Mine arrived today, to my surprise. I was only expecting a pallet of char, but one pallet was nothing but beast. She is uncrated and awaiting additional labor this evening to finish setting her up. She is a beauty. Pics to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 A perk for living in California, Pale Rider. Yes, please put some pictures of as much of the uncrateing as you can. Looking forward to seeing your first cook. I may do steaks after the "burn in" since it'll already be around 500-550 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YIKES! It's one of those little known features that Dennis puts in every Kamado! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 My Komodo is in Harahan LA right now. This is real close to Robert and about 140 miles from my house. Looks like Monday or Tuesday is the day the stork brings baby home. We haven't had rain in a month and a half and they're predicting it for all next week. What a surprise!

MacKenzie Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Poochi, your delivery sounds like mine. On Fri. It was so close I could almost touch it, why can't they just make this one delivery on Sat. and yes and let's have rain for delivery day. In the end it all worked out just fine and I'm sure your day will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 The delivery company never called to make an appointment. I ended up with about 1 hour notice. Fortunately I work close to home so I busted out of work and drove down the street to my house with the delivery truck following me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're worried about rain, you could have it sent to my house, and I'll check it out for you, make sure that everything's ok on it, you know, give it a trial run. It's no inconvenience at all, just the kind of guy I am. You can come get it once the weather forecast is better. Robert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 The delivery company here in Oklahoma City was fantastic. On both of my KKs they called the day before and told me my KK was going to be the last delivery the following day and should occur about 2:00 - 3:00 pm. The driver called me about 30 minutes before he showed up and couldn't have been a nice man. He wanted to know all about each KK. His boss is a BGE cooker and he called to chat about the KK. We chatted about the KK for quite some time. I ended up have both guys and their families over for some BBQ. They are regulars here at ChezChef and have become good friends! Who knew?

Poochie Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 You nailed it MacKenzie, I'd be happy to have them deliver on Saturday...or Sunday for that matter. It's so hot and dry here the fish have dust on them. You catch them already fried. But delivery day?? Rain and more rain. At this point I don't care. I'm ready for it rain or shine.

Poochie Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I called the "secondary" trucking company today. One truck brought it from California and a different trucking line got it from them in Harrahan LA. and brought it to Lafayette. They told me today that they'd deliver it tomorrow. They couldn't give me a time or even morning or evening, but I don't give a flying fish. I'm so happy to get it tomorrow that they can come at midnight if they want to. They did ask if an 18 wheeler could come down my street. I told them it's a subdivision and the girl said "if we can't come with an 18 wheeler, you'll have to notify the originating party.....I said "Whoa! OK, come with the 18 wheeler. It'll be fine." I wasn't about to give them a reason to delay bringing it. Anyway, depending on when they come, I'll have pictures on here either tomorrow night or Wednesday. Burn in Wednesday for sure. Animal on it no later than Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 HURRAY!! Dude, you do know that you can cook on the KK during the burn-in, right?? And, you can do all the low & slow cooks you want without doing the burn-in first! No need to delay that all-important virgin cook. Porn, man, we want food porn!!! I know you won't disappoint us, poochie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Poochie - there is nothing better than sitting on the patio, smelling the sweet soft scent of solvents venting from your new KK sipping some fine bourbon and knowing you're going to be searing some steaks in an hour! And that's just the beginning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
