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

I've been saying for years that Tri-Tip is the tastiest meat on the cow. I'm spoiled because there is a reasonable Indonesian Wagyu supplier. I prefer 5-7 marbling wagyu.. It's to die for. I use coffee smoke during the first part of the reverse sear, take it to 130 and let it dissipate it's heat before blasting it for color and crust. Sometimes I put it in the refrigerator overnight, then grill it cold so I can get a great crust without overcooking it or getting a well-done outside layer. After I get the color and crust I want I warm it slowly indirect to eating temp..

Install the top two bolts finger-tight. If you have some of the original black foam (or any small piece of styrofoam- half-inch square) that was sent with the tables, you can use it down low next to the lower bolt to hold the plate out if necessary, then tighten the lower bolt only until the table is level then tighten the top two down tight leaving the lower where it is..

I'm not sure how you are lighting the surface of the "entire area of charcoal", but please don't. Just light a grapefruit volume of charcoal in ONE place.

Both look great; why can't you take credit for the pie?

Coffee of course!

I was asked to make some Q for my daughter's boyfriend and his parents. I cooked up both port and beef ribs and two pork necks for pulled sandwiches. https://youtube.com/shorts/4UyxKOShYRM?si=CpwCS0lHovORBnoy

What's the best way to quickly and easily light your charcoal grill so that you can start cooking without a lot of fuss? In this video, I demonstrate how to use my favorite toys to light my charcoal quickly and easily.

This video shows the two options for the teak Komodo Kamado side tables and how easy and fast it is to install and adjust them.

Smoking with wood can produce less-than-tasty results. If you're not careful, acrid, bad-tasting smoke can easily be produced. This video shows how the Komodo Kamado smoke generator helps you get high-quality, clean smoke that enhances your cooking every time.

How do you choose the best kamado grill size, and what must you consider? Explains why grill size matters so much and why considerations such as how much smoking versus grilling you want to do come into play.

Here's a Komodo Kamado basics/introduction video that you may find informative. Explains the engineering and performance of the grills as well as the components of the 32" Big Bad.

All the new grills have their gaskets on the lower lip...

Tony gets a box of charcoal every time he calls me a genius!

It's how we get four levels and a right down on the coals screaming hot blackening sear!

No plans to make a pan like that because I've never had anyone ask for one.. A better idea might be to use the upper grate upside down with the handles on the firebox and tall legs up instead of the lower grate.. This would give you extra room for a tray with sides. You can also put a couple of those large foil meatloaf trays on the roti splitter and fold the foil over the center rail.

I'll make a section on the forum with the new videos.. Here's a simple first-light video.. How to light a charcoal grill

Heylo.. Please always contact [email protected]. I can't look up your order/grill because your email on this forum differs from the one you purchased your grill with. The problem is this is a 23" grill/sleeve with a 32" cradle/shaft.

The 38” Goldilocks is the newest member of the KK family. We took our 42” Serious Big Bad grill, sawed it in half, and pulled 4” from the middle. It is a reduced size 42". It has the same double two-spring hinges, the basket splitter is standard, and a stainless lip protector. Its inside dimensions are 38” wide and 22” deep. It comes standard with three levels of 3/8” 304 stainless grates that can cook on four levels. The main and lower grate have rods front to rear and come in three pieces. It also comes standard with a charcoal basket splitter reducer that lets you cook on a reduced volume of charcoal. This creates a two-zone cooking environment. The grill weighs 1,560 lbs—(74 lbs less than the 42") and rolls easily on five high-density black rubber castors, four in the legs and one under the body, to distribute the weight evenly. It has 208 lbs of 304 Stainless.. Standard tiles $ 8,240 Bronze and Pebble tiles $ 8,480

Thanks for the Kudos.. Yes, the 38" has a double hinge with two springs. In every way, it's a smaller version of the 42" SBB, not a large 32" BB.
