Decided to do a batch of chicken drumsticks today, rain or not!

I also live in Fairfield County and used to buy Coco char via Amazon but that service is no longer available. I don’t see any recent activity on the forum topic trail but would be interested in a share up to 30 boxes.

The first 38" Goldilocks grills were shipped with an ETA in early Dec. Two sold and two unsold.. https://komodokamado.com/collections/38-goldilocks-kamado-grill

The 42 and 38 have all the same set up..

Yes your grill has a gas door assembly... It's cast iron.. Will not melt for sure.. It will fill up with ash if you burn charcoal above it... The nozzle/jet is never going to get any ash on it.. The burner might need to be flipped and cleared of ash if it piles up.. Easy to remove it for cleaning

Never had difficulty getting charcoal lit and our KK up to temperature in cold weather (sub freezing included). Ours sits on a covered deck, out of the rain/snow but otherwise open to the environment.

Burnchar, as far as I'm aware the 23 Ultimate has a backside door for the gas element or at least mine has one in my 2017 model. From what I saw, there are two inset posts set within the mortar base to accept the gas unit and hold it in place . Check to see if those posts are in position on yours or simply if you have the door that's needed to move the unit into place. These posts are drop down and not threaded for convience of removal. If you were to use this to pre-warm the grill the gas unit could be easily removed and you could convert to coal if this was your intention. I presume the unit's function though was to cook separately from coal so the regular cleaning involving ash wouldn't be a factor. You would most likely remove the gas unit when switching back to coal and then reposition the door back in place, this would be necessary because of the gas line in the doorway. Using some kind of deflector for food particles might be an issue though, however easily remedied

I understand that the gas burner is intended to pre-warm a grill, mostly in cold climates. I like the idea, but details online are sparse. Should I get one of these? One post in the forums mentions that an entry for gas burners is no longer standard. I have a 2024 32". Is it compatible? Does the burner need to be removed from the grill? It looks like it is made from cast aluminum, and I know the fire can get hot enough to melt aluminum if it gets away. What maintenance is typically needed? For example, does the nozzle need regular cleaning from ash? Thank you for taking a look at this post.

That looks great !!!!

My wife barely tolerates carrots. Peas are a bridge too far for her.

What a nice birthday dinner! YUM!

Very portable that Weber and it does the job. The Paella pan was bigger than the Weber, so tell me was there a brave soul that fished out all that Cornwall seafood for the cook?

I’m gonna have to try that.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Creative, but where are the peas?👍

And it's dinner.

Smoke ring on the meat.

I took the chuck roast off its rack when it reached an internal temperature of 177 degrees and it’s now simmering in the dutch oven. Before I put it in the dutch oven; I seared both sides on the hot side of the Komado for a few minutes per side.

Here’s the beginning and the final results of tonight's smoked pot roast Sunday dinner. The chuck steak was dry brined overnight then a spice rub was applied earlier today. In the dutch oven there’s beef stock, onions, carrots, potatoes and about a 1/3 of a bottle of red wine.

Looks great !!!!!

Nice teamwork! Happy birthday to Sharky!

We spent a week away with @RokDok, Mrs RokDok and a bunch of other friends to celebrate my husband's sixtieth birthday. Here is the great steak spread that @RokDok conjured up on his trusty Weber kettle (not being able to transport his 32 KK to a cliff top in Cornwall). We also upped our paella game, with the addition of a great big gas burner. Yum!

We had Thanksgiving early, so i cooked up a small Butterball, the skin rendered out nicely if i do say so myself 🤣 And bread of course, one extra tangy sourdough and one cranberry cinnamon honey sourdough. I also made a caraway seed rye not pictured. And Cranberry walnut loaf.

Great looking ribs !!!!
