ok, WILL DO. whERE IS THE SERIAL NUMBER LOCATED.?

I believe it was just older models that used two gaskets. If you have your serial number maybe Dennis can identify the correct gasket for your KK. You might want to give him a call before ordering.

Thanks for the quick reply. The one-piece looks cool, though I really was wondering about the double gasket as described in #1. 1) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-ultimate-both-main-outside-gasket-and-inside-silicone-gasket?_pos=11&_sid=6e8f59566&_ss=r - $? Seems like that one would be super sealed. Any chance you can post a pic of your 23 so I can confirm the shape of the seal before I order? THanks! BBQKing

https://komodokamado.com/collections/23-ultimate-spare-parts/products/23-ultimate-new-one-piece-main-gasket This one. My 23 is 13 years old and this one works fine. I’m pretty sure the physical design of the lid/body seal hasn’t changed, and this is the newest design. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have an older 23" model and was wondering what gasket to order. There are four choices: 1) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-ultimate-both-main-outside-gasket-and-inside-silicone-gasket?_pos=11&_sid=6e8f59566&_ss=r - $? 2) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-ultimate-main-gasket-larger-outside-silicone-gasket - $68 3) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-ultimate-new-one-piece-main-gasket - $120 4) https://komodokamado.com/products/23-main-seal-food-grade-silicone-d-gasket - $56 My bottom lid has a 45-degree raised lip where a "D" gasket is installed. I'd appreciate any tips or insight on these choices.

Is that what is referred to as signature bread? Dinner for two,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,dozen, looking good.

Same. I have my charcoal on the right.... I have the half grill on the left.

A few pictures of what you are dealing with could help us help you 👍

Intriguing, the S. African by Tekebo would surely know more about this cuisine...his name begins with a B as I try to recall, it'll come to me after I hit send. The sausage at a glance looks like a mix of pork and beef, I'll find a recipe and make a batch. Call it a challenge of curiousity.

@Tyrus this is my first time making south african food. someone gifted me boerewors, which is that coiled sausage. pap is a white corn polenta made into a creamed texture, the rice substitute over there. chakalaka is like a mix veg stew sauce.

That looks all aroud nice. Don't know what it means, I thought first before seeing it might have been a chocolate invention, I was wrong. Clue me in David, am I the only one.

The grouting process is a one step application, the make-up of the grout itself has the character of a seal within itself and that is why it is sold alone. Using a syringe for the application never entered my mind when I was manuvering through the venting, I simply applied it to the area and worked the grout into the affected area with a bare finger. The grout has a soft enough texture, it's workable, but unfortunately doesn't have a long life span in the tube...it will harden after a peroid of time, but not within the time frame of use. I've used the grout when the KK was cold for small spots on perodic visual inspection time and again, however my KK up to this point has always been undercover by roof and fabric so it's not a frequent experience. I would think Dennis's grout techs would be applying the tiles to a cold KK beforehand, from there I believe they're cleaned and then cured in a kiln. So yah, I believe cold is ok, and don't apply any sealer, it's unecessary and could be detrimental.

Hi, I inherited a beautiful 23. I have many other smokers, but this is the first Komodo I have cooked on. The Unit sat unused for several years. Covered but in a winter/snow area. I need to do some grout repairs. I have ordered the tube of grout. Is there any videos showing the best way to do this? I have seen the video on using a syringe and seen the video on venting. But is there an actual video on how to patch the grout? Also, I should patch this when the cooker is HOT. Correct? Like 550 degrees hot? I believe this is unit is at least 10 years old. Should I seal the grout as well? Thank you for your help.

Yes, sorry for the tardy response.

Great news, @tony b!

I was extremely happy to see that email !!!! I got one of their last boxes of Post Oak but missed out on Peach. Those are the only two i use, well occasionally some grape vine but I get that free from a friend.

this place was also the best ceviche of my life and the mussels/shellfish dish was out of this world. I’ll be attempting those in the summer @Troble , the above was from an older post you had in this thread. Just hoping you followed thru in your pursuit of making Peruvian Ceviche? I’m hoping “Yes” and you can share your recipe! Tonight my wife and I went to a Peruvian restaurant and had their ceviche and loved it. I’ve only had / made Mexican style ceviche and want to work on learning Peruvian style ceviche. I loved the contrast of the sweet potato with the acidity in this style. Gracias!

Some good news. Got an email from the owner of Fruita woods. He's sold the business to Denver Firewoods. They are in transition, so we won't be able to check them out just yet. But it's nice to know that we will have some options again for getting smoking wood chunks/splits. From the email: I am proud to announce that one of my suppliers has elected to take over the websites in effort to keep fruitawood.com and fruitawood chunks.com ALIVE!!! I am confident the Denver Firewood team will be able to continue providing you the same quality wood I have for the past 16 years. I am in the process of transferring the websites and all necessary information over to them. Please allow sufficient time to update the websites and get inventory available to start accepting orders.

Thanks DennisLinkletter, I picked up a used kamado and need to do some repairs. I already have a tub of Acrylic Grout I purchased from Lowe's Home Improvement store and was wondering if I could use it - https://www.lowes.com/pl/flooring-tools-supplies/tile-tools-supplies/grout/acrylic-premix/4294856532-920575991071. I would be just filling tears/cracks with a surface application. Would this work?
