  1. Lots of tar... That's the first I've seen of your tar buildup.. Amazing is an understatement.. This is what I'd imagine happening in a restaurant.. Dj actually came up with both an after solution and a new production solution.. A solution might be a ring that screws onto the damper top shaft.. From center it will have three spokes and an outer ring that reduces the area of contact the top makes with gasket.. This should end the problems. For further production we'll add a positive V over the gasket area on the damper top so this V screws down onto the gasket also reducing the surface area touching.. thanks DJ!
  2. Just noticed we hit 30,000 posts and 451 members.. Thank you for all your contributions and making the forum such a great resource.
  3. Welcome to the forum Bev.. Welcome to the forum Bev, I'm always pleased when someone with lots of knowledge about anything signs up.. We're all hungry for new ideas here. I've just started doing pizzas on a regular basis but I cheat and purchase dough from the local bakery.. I've tried both sourdough and baguette dough. One great for thick and the other thin.. I recently saw a cooking show where they made dough, it looked easy so I'm ready to jump of the deep end and try.. Once again welcome to the forum.. Dennis
  4. Heylo Memo Welcome Memo, Nice to see you here on the forum.. and pleased to hear you got you KK over the border safely.. I'm still waiting for the photo of my first KK in Mexico!
  5. Raise the bar much further.. Ahh come on, have no fear.. raise the bar much further.. If about 16 lbs can go 85 hours.. 7lbs should go about 37 hours..
  6. Ahh I did not do the waiting between - Good idea Ahh I did not do the waiting between but would have to open it up if the topping was browning faster than the crust cooked.. How ever you cook them.. Cooking pizza is lots of fun.. especially if you let everyone make their own pie..
  7. Re: anyone ever cook goat? I've cooked goat shanks a few times. It's really popular here in Indonesia, less gamey/best when aged a bit.. I'll try to dig up some photos..
  8. Pizza Sunday.. I grabbed some dough that the local baker had made up to make bagettes and made up these pizzas with the kids.. I found that about 690º was best for this thickness of dough. I was burning the top before the dough was cooked using the upper grill as I did before. So I moved the stone to the main grill. I'd take a peek at 5 minutes.. if the top looked over cooked, I opened the top and let it cook a bit open.. Best thin crust ever..

  10. Only the base should be carried using the harness..
  11. I was going thru and going to get my ducks in a row for spring so I asked the warehouse to send me an inventory.. I discovered that there were 3 grills in ready stock that were not in the forums photo inventory.. They must have been a custom order that was changed before it arrived. One of the Tweed Bronze and Autumn Nebula mix was shipped with a pair of side tables too.. GEN 2.2 Ultimate 23" OTB New elastomeric insulation/adhesive/grout Tweed Bronze and Autumn Nebula mix KK-Gen TM65 $3,800 GEN 2.2 Ultimate 23" OTB **Shipped with pair of CNC Stainless and Teak Side Tables** ($576) New elastomeric insulation/adhesive/grout Tweed Bronze and Autumn Nebula mix KK-Gen TM82 $4,376
  12. Needed to smoke 60 full wings for a party and was all out of apple my poultry smoking wood of choice. So I decided to use my cast iron smoke pot to clean up the hickory a bit. My 4 year old daughter and I made up some flour and water to make the gasket.. 30 minutes later we had the top on and sealed Dropped it into a KK preheated to 250º.. After letting them sit in a freezer for 40 minutes to delay the meat cooking, I coated them with Best Foods and sprinkled them with Pappy's Choice low salt seasoning.. Two levels About 1 hour at 250 and 45 minutes at 350 and then they started to brown up (being frozen let me smoke and cook them longer to melt off more fat.) At this point they pulled apart easily and were pretty much amazing..
  13. I've just learned that David Spradling aka DavidS passed away late last month. He joined us in March of 2006, was one of our first 20 members and top 20 posters. He found Komodo after having a POSK and shared more than 40 years BBQing experience with the forum. I'm sure he's up where all the smoke is blue and briskets are cooked to perfection with chewy bark. My condolences to his wife and family, he will definitely be missed.
  14. Re: Covering your KK Just as you would not park a quality automobile or motorcycle outside, a Komodo's build quality deserves being covered. When you see one in person you will agree. If only to protect it from UV which will eventually fade pretty much anything including the tiles. The insulation used as the adhesive and grout is UV resistant..
  15. Our TonyO bought a grey Gen 2.1 that was the last KK in the Lake Wales, FL warehouse.. Problem is when it arrived it was a terra blue Supreme Plus. Seems a guy in St Kitts got a great deal two years ago.. Oh well that's water long under the bridge.. It was uncrated to get it out of the truck and pretty much needs to be sold locally or blanket shipped which is risky.. I've done it but won't guarantee anything.. I have it up on Ebay for only $1800 or $1980 buy it now.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130357706828&ssPageName=STRK:MESCX:IT#ht_1724wt_1167
  16. I love it.. How long was the snow able to stay on the cooker once heated? I love the shots and will definitely use them in the new KK website.. Thanks for sharing..
  17. Two different stainless pans I've actually shipped Two different stainless pans.. one is much thicker has much more volume in the base but the supplier does run out from time to time and we use another.. so that's probably why some warp and others don't.
  18. Looks great.. I now have to find one of these.. I asked around before Christmas but nobody had one or remembered having one.. You would think that the high end hotels would serve it for Christmas dinner..
  19. I need too get this KK out of the guys back yard.. Please call me for more details.. The removal will not be the easiest but I'll make you a deal you can't refuse..
  20. Re: Now I understand! That's not a candy striper.. that's a candy Stripper!
  21. Stuffed Turkey.. I understand how under the correct circumstances it could be a bacteria factory but with a little care, I'm happy to take my chances.. Sorta like rare hamburgers.. I understand it could be dangerous but it angers me to be told I can't order it that way in a restaurant.
  22. Am I missing something? I can't imagine cooking a turkey with out stuffing.. I was under the impression that as long as you stuff just before you cook and then un-stuff ASAP after the cook alz well.. Am I missing something? I frequently do living outside the States for so long..
  23. Just wanted to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I spent three weeks moving the factory the end of November and just spent a week moving out of the house in Surabaya that I've been in for the last 21 years.. My whole family would like to thank you for your support this last year, I think this will be Komodos magic year.. This last week I had people write me disappointed that they had not purchased a KK before the recent price hike.. I gave them the opportunity to purchase one for the old 2007 price of $3260. Through the end of the year I'm extending this price hike moratorium to those who write and ask.. Happy Holidays...
