All Activity

it was a bad typhoon (T10), but it was nothing more than a day off from work and some downed trees. everything was back in business next day. but china (not hk) is celebrating golden week, so everyone has the week off until next week. it appears the factory is probably either in shenzhen or guanzhou if they evacuated. and if i did some gumshoe detective work, i can probably find the factory and buy the stuff for a fraction of the $...😅 but we are expecting another storm so maybe more delays..

I named David to see if he could say anything about the typhoon. I do agree with you about Combustion’s rollout issues, LOL.

We're talking about smoking wood, not charcoal. To make "authentic" Jamaican jerk, you need pimento wood for smoking. Just sayin'! @jonj - was wondering about how much you'd lose to "sawdust" with the table saw. Wish mine had a vacuum attachment.

Oh, digital all the way. I need them both in my kitchen and in my brewing room. I have several, each with a different range, from pounds to milligrams.

Just use B&B Oak Lump.

Although you didn't ask me, and I love their products, this is pretty much par for the course with Combustion. But then, we have become an impatient society.

Singapore food has always been about authenticity and rich traditional flavours that connect people with culture. When it comes to exploring local dishes, the Old Airport Road Food Centre is truly one of the best places to experience it all. From Hokkien Mee to Char Kway Teow, every stall has its own story and taste that makes Singapore’s food scene unique. I personally enjoyed discovering how these dishes still maintain their traditional style while attracting new generations of food lovers. If anyone is visiting Singapore, I’d highly recommend adding this spot to your food journey.

"I recently started using digital kitchen scales and they’ve made cooking and baking so much easier. The accuracy really helps with portion control and following recipes. Do you prefer digital or traditional mechanical scales in your kitchen?"

I have their thermometer and ordered the dome probe ages ago. Here is the email I received today: “Typhoon Regasas halted production of the Giant Grill Gauge last week. Our factory was under a mandatory evacuation order and the port of Hong Kong was shut down completely. The good news is that our people are fine. And the factory is fine. The bad news is that everything is out of position. We're not going to be able to get all of the inventory completed, inspected, and onto a plane before the start of Golden Week, when factories and businesses shut down for a week. Production and shipping is set to start back up on October 7th, when factories and businesses reopen. Orders from September 2024 should get shipped out quickly. The exact ship date is dependent on air cargo availability, which is at capacity because this typhoon affected everyone manufacturing in Asia. All pre-orders from October last year until now are still expected to ship this October. Thank you again for sticking with us. Hopefully this is the last update like this and we can get back to cooking! Chris Young Owner, Combustion Inc.” What do you think about this David?  

Hey Syzygies....di you ever get a response from Combustion Inc? I like the sound of this whole wireless setup

Thanks for the tip @tony b. I haven't had pieces this big before. I'll give the band saw a try. On the plus side, I will only lose 3/64" to the kerf instead of 1/8". I'll count that as money in my pocket, given the cost of the wood. 🤣

You will find that pimento wood is very hard. I struggle to cut the chunks down with a hand saw. I'm reluctant to fire up the table saw to do it.

Just received my pimento wood from Fruita. The chunks are decent sized and will require reduction before use. Happy to have it but 5 pounds of wood chunks really isn't very much wood. . . 🙁 On the other hand, it's the only source and they do include 5 pounds of pimento leaves.

@5698k Are you not receiving my replies to your chat messages? I've replied to both but it appears as if you are not getting them.

I have two brand new never used Thermoworks RFX probes. Asking $75 for each probe or $135 for both.

That's why we got Dennis to make the double-bottom pan. If you don't have one, consider it.

Any time I think about getting another cooker, it seems there’s nothing I could do on it I can’t do on my KK. I really want to get a Weber kettle, a WSM, a PK, some other Kamado like the Blaze and so on. Just to have some more toys. But I never do get one. Don’t need to.

A friend owns an outdoor store, sells many different brands of cookers, including KJ, Primo, and Blaze. I also thought the Blaze was interesting, but my friend claims they dont cook well at all and recommends them to be used as an anchor.

Blaze has that aluminum one that looks pretty cool.

Thank you so much Paul. This is very helpful.
