KOmodo YouTube Video Ok Camera's rolling.. this could be the first KOmodo video I put up on YouTube!

Please excuse my editing.. In an attempt to make the best of the uncomfortable direction this topic traveled.. I took admin liberties and edited multiple posts and deleted a few too.. Let's stay positive and hope the job climate improves.. I've been told that Wayne was able to give Tom some leads that could prove to be helpful..

Re: New High Temp Hot face Finish Is that M64? But seriously... does this have to be applied to a pristine cooker or could it be used to clean up/seal something a bit... older? I'll have to ask the HW guys.. But I'd assume you would need to do some benign degreasing first...

Re: Prime ribs and timing On my monitor the ribs are perfectly pink and rare. It does not have the KOmodo puddle below but besides that it looks great to me.. Don't ya hate when your mistakes look and taste that good.. I'd bet ya a KOmodo that sliced thin that would be a home run as a sandwich. If it's a tad dry just use a bit more Helmans.. (Best Foods Mayo)

So I guess I clicked edit instead of quote.. Gotta start wearing my glasses.. So I guess I clicked edit instead of quote.. Better drink my coffee before I get on too!

First actual solid black OTB will ship today..

What happened to my post? I answered.. You got it.. I'll bag some up and send it out to you.. Obviously you saw it but where'd it go?

Re: Jobless Tom you are in our prayers.. Please feel free to post any networking info here, you are KOmodo family and hopefully we can help. Hope you find something soon.

The guys at Harbinson Walker came up with a process and new material that enables us to fill bubbles on the refractory hot face.. As we all know the white cosmetic plaster we've been using eventually flakes and peels off.. This is fused to the hot face with heat in the factory.. I like the color also..

First actual solid black OTB also.. First actual solid black OTB also..

First Bali Sunset Dinner Party We had our first Bali Sunset dinner party this last week.. Saisuda made up some of our favorite Thai dishes and I was going to smoke up a big butt for pulling.. The pork ran overtime and was just set to rest when we started dinner.. So we nibbled on some before desert but were all to full of Thai to really get into it.. No problem, I have lots of vacuumed lil' bags of pulled piggy for lunch meat now.. The Bali sunset was not the star of the evening but did not disappoint us either.. Guest room is empty!

How odd is this? Ever seen Brussel Sprouts growing? Thought you had seen it all?

The factory is buzzing because tomorrow we will be shipping our first 40' container. It's more cost efficient to ship KK's in the larger box, so it's time to step up. It will have twenty 23.5" OTBs and eight 19.5" OTBs. I've posted some of the new photos below the current inventory, I'll get the the balance up when we load. This is going to be a great year for KOmodo.

Total PIA !! I shipped two palettes of the new adhesive/insulation/grout material to Indo on November 10th. We just picked it up today. There are lame delays like it takes 10 days to break down the LCL container. Makes no sense as they are charging me enough to pay 75 people to do it. Then customs and the government get involved. As it is in semi liquid form all the pails need to be tested for drugs.. All the pails! When they report the results of their test, they quote the MSDS exactly. Open a pail of black acrylic smelling material and you know that if there are drugs mixed in, you will never get them back out! The process was also expedited by making traditional "donations" to department bosses.. Total PIA !!

Low and Slow with Guru I choke down the 10CFM fan about 70% for my 235º cooks. I open it all the way up when lighting the charcoal.

Don't worry we'll work it out.. Heylo Will, First of all please accept my apoligies for the delay in you getting your new knobs.. My hypothesis is that you have one of the KK's that have a charcoal basket which sits lower than the firebox. This design was to bring the basket closer to the burner. The problem is that it traps enough heat below the firebox to heat the screw attaching the knob to carbonize the teak. The correction actually needs two updates.. First we ned a small grate to elevate the charcoal above the firebox. Than we'll use handles which have dense acrylic inserts. We have sent out dozens of these so either I messed up and did you forward your name to the factory or the warehouse dropped the ball.. Either way let's try again. As far as the latch problem, it's probably best for me to call you and try to trouble shoot this.. It's not a problem I remember ever having.. Dennis

Bump to top of list The legless base to lip is 24"

BTW the rack was designed to sit this way KOmodo Stainless rib racks are $68. plus UPS ground. BTW the rack was designed to sit in an OTB this way..

London Broil is a preparation That London broil looks great.. sort of Tri Tip-ish! Was it a flank steak? What ever it was.. it looks great and deserving of a big smile! I googled London broil and saw that it is a preparation, not a cut of meat. Wikipedia: The preparation of London Broil typically involves marinating the meat for several hours followed by heating in an oven broiler or outdoor grill. In both heating methods the meat is placed approximately three inches from a direct heat source and turned several times to promote even cooking and avoid burning. It is commonly served in thin slices, cut across the grain.

Actually two guest bedrooms It's a four bedroom for and a half bath. So there are actually two guest bedrooms, unless I'm in the dog house!

details about the cook I was less than clear before about the comments.. It's great if the person posting the photos leaves details about the cook but let's not make any comments about the posts, just photos (or don't feel bad when they are occasionally erased..) Please also feel free to go back and add comments if you would like..

Re: Inducer port plug

Merry Christmas.. Merry Christmas to all.. After four months of searching we finally found a house in Bali.. The recent financial meltdown has created an unexpected effect, Financial refugees.. people are moving to Bali to wait out the melt down and it's very tough to find long term leases of quality houses. After four months of looking, we finally found one that had enough qualities we liked and grabbed it for three years. My kids got there presents Christmas morning but mine showed up at about 9:30 Christmas night. Here they were sitting pretty the next morning. Not much to complain about here.. Counting my blessings! Even Balinese beef over the wall.. Do you think they would miss just one? I can't wait to start cookin'.. I think Q'ing with a view over the rice paddies will suit me just fine. Once again.. Merry Happy to all. Thank you all for all your support, when I sat an counted my blessings KOmodo and this forum were right up there on the list. I will be making a few very significant announcements soon.. One of them is I now have a new an extremely respected/revered evangelist/spokesperson who will do wonders bringing awareness of KOmodo to the BBQ community. Stay tuned in..

Tropical woods Try Lychee, Rambutan and Durian. These are popular fire woods for cooking.

When it rains it pours and right after we downsized the square footage of the wood working factory we were swamped with two different orders which sidetracked this job.. Now that I need a set for my new house in Bali.. They have been dusted off and the project started again.. This is for the 19.5" OTB These are for the 23" OTB
