Komodo Teak Side Cabinets
DennisLinkletter replied to DennisLinkletter's topic in KK Features & Accessories
These smaller ones will be knockdown and therefore not as stout but the larger one will be shipped whole, completely mortise and tenon construction and be more than sturdy to sit on. There is a teak colored Formica like laminate under the table top to keep the rain out. -
Don't cook outside.........

first pecker full of hot bacon grease! I would have loved to see it's dance when it got it's first pecker full of hot bacon grease! I always worry about my dog trying to lick a hot grill when I remove it and set it down. My Akita "tried" to eat a hot stolen ABT off the table once. Tried is the key word here.. the right off the KK hot cream cheese stopped her in her chewing and tracks. But she did eat a small turkey once.. bones and all while it was resting/cooling in the kitchen on the counter. She immediately crawled under the house and would not come out until after dark. I'd buy her a turkey a day to have her back.. RIP -
Here is a knock down teak side table.. Some details that I wanted were lost in translation but will be in the next versions.. This drawing below is for a larger version.. I was thinking to leave out the OTB shaped cut out and only have the OTB shaped overhang left and right to tie it to the KK design wise. It will have hooks on the side to hold the upper grill when not in use.. It can be stored in the cooker when your cooking is finished. This frees up the larger space on the left for a small trash can for charcoal.. What ya think?

Just when you thought that it couldn't get better.......

Awesome Glazed Rib shots.. I really gotta start glazing again.. not sure why I stopped. I used to spray or mop with apple juice, some vinegar, lots of maple syrup and some kind of heat (chilies) Back to your ribs.. They look great.. Thanks for sharing -

Re: Slow cook lamb? When cooking on your KK you will need to stop thinking in terms of how long..That's for the oven and bread.. Different pieces of the same cut and weight will take different times to cook depending on the amount of fat and connective tissue which is cooling when being broken down.. You need to focus on the meat's temperature only.. Only the temperature determines the meat's texture and doneness.. Make sure that your meat is room temperature when you begin, Most people roast at 325º until their desired temp Med Rare 140º Medium 150º Well Done 160º If you wanted it to fall off the bone, I'd probably foil it when it hit 140º because while lamb has fat outside the muscle it does not really have marbling and cooking too long could dry it out.. Foiling will capture the moisture and keep it moist.. you could also add some white wine and fresh rosemary to the foil pouch.. Lamb can be a bit tough if overcooked.. Best to cook a little hot that way you can brown up the outside before it becomes overcooked and dry in the middle. I like and cook mine to medium rare. Have a good cook and don't forget to take photos for us.. You do know that we'll say, "It did not happen" if you don't post the photos here..

I know that Tony happily bakes his pizzas about 600º out of his 10psi regulator. Please remember that blowing that much pressure/gas into your cooker requires an open draft for oxygen supply. You also "really" want to keep and eye on it at super high temps.. Be extra careful if you add too much PSI to your burner, the flame will blow itself out. Bayou Classic depot has them.. the 15psi at $23 looks like it has the correct fitting. Kit includes a 30 inch stainless steel braided hose which is a BIG plus. (The 10 PSI regulator, which reaches 55,000 BTUs is actually all you need but the hose has a jet on the end which will need adaption) http://bayouclassicdepot.com/m3hph_propane_regulator.htm

Re: Hestia Just for the Hell of it . . . Great shot especially taken from a phone.. Imagine someone saying that just ten years ago.. My momma gave me the new 3g Ipad for my upcoming birthday and last Christmas.. Unbelievably slick technology.. I've been boohaaing them as a big phone that can't make calls.. soo much more. Absolute best way to share photos.. My grandparents could not believe what they were seeing..

My 97 year old grandfather's health has hit a speed bump and I needed to drop everything and fly back to the States. I'm now in LA and back at business. Long trip, 24+ hours since I left my house.. I surprised my grandmother and he and it was immediately all worth it. I'll be getting a cell number tomorrow that I'll post so you can get a hold of me.. for now please call and leave messages on the 310 928-3648 voicemail.

Thank you.. Thank you for the kind words, it's actually amazing how if you treat you customers like family and friends people are amazed. Sad reflection of the times we live in. But the real truth is simple and is easily summed up in the old adage "Do unto others..." Simple but always gives you the right direction unless you're a masochist of course.. Thanks again.. He's a truly great man, I'm honored to carry his name.

Nice Pie and welcome Mrs T Rex As one who has been eating a lot of very strange shaped pizzas I can attest to their deliciousness.. In fact heart shaped ones are my daughter's favorite. I'll dig up some photos.. I'd like to send a special welcome out to Mrs. T Rex for being our first Mrs. from a couple here.. And thank Mr T Rex for being the other half of our first couple.. Especially with pizzas, team work is important for a continual flow of pies.. with out too much craziness.. Once you determine the cooking time for your particular thickness of a particular dough a timer works well as they will come off like clockwork also.. and a timer reducer the quantity of peeks.. Have no doubt that keeping your KK raging at 650º eats up some fuel.. There is nothing economical going on here.. Insulation saves you little here.. It's definitely a pedal to the metal situation to create all that heat.. and when you open it up at those temps you quickly notice it's a lot of heat.. It's also pretty shocking to notice that you are not blistering your hands when touching the body at these high temps.. It's hot but you're not going to burn your hands.. stay clear of the stainless front door and make sure that your low airflow vents are CLOSED this keeps the teak knob much cooler and prevents the chance of it getting toasted from the outside.

As always, I stand corrected.. Thanks Dave According to their FAQ: Fibra-Ment's heat transfer rate is 4.63 Btu.in/hr.sqft.°F tested to ASTM Standard C177-95. Huge Coincidence.. After our own independent in house KK testing the engineers at HW and myself settled on 4.68 Btu.in/hr.sqft.°F tested to ASTM Standard C177-95. We found this to be more to our liking. Getting enough heat to bring this bad boy up to operating temp in a KK is not a problem so the 1" was what I wanted. I actually did obsess about it.. Had to be KK quality or I was not going to make it.
