That link must be real old, not there now. I remember reading it though, which is why I bought my KK

It was a joke John!--Iowa humor may not transcribe very well

Another engineering marvel! Wonder what the side clearance is? Will my Jammies fit over them? Hmm.

Forgot to ask, is this a GenII or a supreme?

None of your damn business!

Joe, you may have to loosen the nuts on the top to reset the alignment. Before you do this you must loosen the tension all the way on the spring first. When the nuts are loose the top will then sit flush in relation to the bottom of the KK. At that point tighten slowly the 4 nuts. Do the paper test, open the lid carefully(you should have SOME tension on the spring--tighten it a bit.)slide of piece of paper in and slowly close the lidif it's a good seal you will have some difficulty pulling it out. Insert the paper at various points and determine the seal at that point. Tighten the spring to your desired tension. I've also had to realign the closing latch in a similar fashion. This is my opinion only, I've done the same thing and it worked like a charm. I'm sure Dennis may give you similar advice if he has not already-- --look for "smoke leakage"

Gee thanks for the compliment John. My wife and I are both proud of our chests. And you may be right!

Johnnyboy, not going to show us your new model?

I got my ice chest from Sam's Club--it is Teak. here's the link http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/naviga ... tem=391022 You don't really need a cover for it, weathers very well, maybe apply some tung or teak oil from time to time to retain the nice color, otherwise it turns to a grey tone.

We bought a wooden(teak?) covered outdoor cooler from Costco that works for me. holds around 20lbs of lump and several bags of wood chips as well as my welders gloves for the lighting process.I leave the plug out in case of water seepage-it has happened.

Thanks Tobias

Kinda want a lunch box, imagine the value in a few years when Weber and Green Egg become a subsidiary of KomodoKamado! Can you tell it's a slow day here, and I've had wayyy to much coffee!

KK the movie,KK the breakfast cereal, KK the action figure, KK the lunch box!

I like the idea of the KK products,Panama hats, Polo shirts, shorts,oven mitts,etc.! Who wants to be the first to sell these fully licensed products?

This could be in contention for picture(s) of the year for our KK Oscar's celebration (Date and Place TBA)

Thought you could only get oysters in the months with an "R"

Looks as though you have some gasket leakage in the second pic. Have you tried to adjust the top?

Looks great! Gotta post more pics myself! Not much warmer down here! Did you make gravy with the drippings? Couldn't help but notice( in true cheese head fashion) the absence of anything green. just kidding

With your homemade brine you should achieve good results, the pink coloring you are looking for won't happen with smoke alone. you will get a smoke ring like you did with your last brisket, but you need the nitrite or nitrates to achieve the pink. Good luck.

I haven't smoked a corned beef brisket in the KK, but I have tried it in my smokehouse,with mixed results. As Deej said-pretty much pastrami and REALLY salty. You may want to use sodium nitrite instead of saltpeter(your significant other may appreciate that also). You may want to try slow cooking it in a dutch oven to replicate your oven or stove top. I did this with a pot roast awhile back(no pics-so theoretical). took longer than I thought it would,I had the temp too low(230-270) should have had it at 350.

Oh, Sanny,nice soup too

I can only guess at the rub, coarse ground pepper,garlic,mustard seed? Looks fantastic!

What a great shot! once I was able to open the file I was struck by the detail,from the well placed bits of spice on the slices to the oozing droplets of gelatin forming on the freshly sliced brisket! Well done man,i vote for one of the best shots of 2008(so far).
