I suspect that a little high heat at end of season would get rid of organics but that keeping vent and ash door open during longer periods of non-use woulld let air to circulate through the unit and moderate the problem .. for what its worth

By this AM everything seems as good as new.. The mold/moisture seemed to impart a smell but all seems to have baked out. Put in a half basket and ran till it quit at about 350

First chance to use the KK this year and I too opened it up and found quite a bit of mold.. Mine is about 200 feet from the Chesapeake Bay so I have no doubt where the moisture came from. Am doing a long empty burn to work out the moisture if absorbed by the refractory. Keeping the heat down to 350. I am sure the temp will take care of the mold..

Re: You are correct sir! I just wrap the stone in foil

Its always something

Re: request for advice re komodo vs other kamadas The same difference as between a BMW and a Yugo

Just owning my Gen 1 is quite a kick

Mine is tight too .. Mine however came from a batch made early on by a board member

Juan may, or Juan may not, depending on what Juan wants enlightening

do you wet your wood ??

Are you sure they make a 1 quart version.. I can't seem to find it. Did find one from Cajun cookware

Deflector on basket handles.. 1/2 in thick pieces of clay pot on top of deflector with drip pan wrapped in foil on top of that.. This keeps dripping fat from burning

Re: I like this simple up front mount. Good Point, I really liked the flush mount on yours. It comes with a bracket doesn't it? But if you have side tables on you loose the place. I like this simple up front mount.[/quote:1hv7q7f7] Mine is flush mount and it looks great. The Rubber stopper that goes into it does seem a little loose and falls out from time to time I don't know if that is because the stopper is a little small or the tiles keep it from being fully inserted.. You might want to check that out on your pre-production models.. On looks though it is flush mount Rory

To keep chicken fat from burning in the drip pan.. Place it on the heat deflector with a few inches of tile or anything that you can use to elevate the dripping pan .. That way the ceramic heat deflector does not act like a pizza stone and cook off the chicken (or other) fat..No smoke or burned flavor I use this method on all cooks

Re: I'd quit the wood tomorrow. If I had my way, I'd be out of the woodworking in a year or two. If we could get AU buying KKs during our winter (their summer).. I'd quit the wood tomorrow. Patience grasshoper.. It will come.. You have built a better mousetrap Rory

Re: Roti Shaft Mine acts exactly the same way.. The motor dances around and the basket can actually stop turning with the motor and shaft turning.. I have the spring loaded shaft

Oughta somehow get that information into the recipe section if it is not there already I will repost something about it in the cooking technique section...how's that? -=Jasen=-[/quote:1mgnlsfe] Works for me

I cant imagine trying to pull out the pizza stone on a hot grill through that door but I guess you can.. THe drip pan is usually full of drippings and that would spill if you tried to pull out through the trap door.

I hardly use the trap door.. Once and a while I try to sneak in a few hardwood chunks . The real problem is that the head deflector prevents any real access to the embers.. I guess it has some value without the deflector. Since I always keep the charcoal full when I start, there really is no need to add except perhaps a 20 hour smoke.

Re: The KOmodo gives back program too... Wow ! That is really great.. If you could just get the price on those plugs down a little , you could throw in an extra one and have the Komodo just fly itself to the customer.. Thus saving all that freight. DJ can start working on the delivery guidance system right away .. (which with a simple throw of a switch turns into a combination torch fire starter and lid activated fan control ) quote="DennisLink"] 368472360002498 Yah, I know but they do go to 6000º and also have an anti-gravitational feature that takes 268 lbs off the Komodo for easier handling. This along with the polder cable protection plan makes them actually a good deal. DJ, You have to look at the BIG picture! Oh.. yes this is part of the KOmodo gives back program too... If American Idol can.. KOmodo can..

Re: Guru port plug Same here If you buy a Guru this lovely plug comes with it. If you buy a new KOmodo in the near future.. It will have one also. I recommend purchasing the new KOmodo if you really got to have one. HA! Don't think I can justify to the wife buying another Komodo at this time. Hope that new Guru plug is bigger than the old Guru plug...I have an old Guru plug and it is too small for the port on my Komodo.

Re: High temp polder tube plug.. Fortunately the "quantity" for that price is 22,000 pieces
