Palette Shipped - Closing Thread Palette Shipped - Closing Thread

They are both barely open I'm all for muffling the cooker from the top.. keeps in the humidity and cuts down airflow. But that being said, you need to let some out because you need oxygen going in to feed the burn, so if something is going in something must be going out also. So close the top until you feel the gasket touch.. Then turn the top so the thumb wings move about a half inch only.. you should just barely see smoke leaving.. In my experience if you close it down your charcoal usually dies.. It helps in your first cooks to throw in some wood for smoke so you can visually see your airflow..

July 22nd- Charcoal in the Warehouse - Double ARGH! Talk about disappointing.. I've been writing the warehouse and impatiently waiting for it to clear customs and be delivered to the warehouse so I can start sending it out. After not getting replies to my last two emails I sent one in CAPS to the boss and everybody in the office asking for a reply only to be told it's been sitting there since the 17th! Double ARGH! Hopefully they can get the palettes shrink wrapped to go out tomorrow.. These deliveries are also a great way to save in getting accessories delivered. Need a stainless shielded heat deflector, drip pan or upgrade to some 3/8" grills? Just say the word, I'll get them shrink wrapped with the load..

5 ft 10 inches.. That is 7 inches for the palette and a total of 70 inches or 5 ft 10 inches.. I think that's very do-able..

Boxes are 15" x 9" x 9" Assuming palettes are 7"t x 40" x 48" I'm guessing that we could go seven high which would be 70" With 7 high and 13 boxes per row, we would have a total of 91 boxes or 2002 lbs max per palette. Does that make sense/seem do-able? I think that shrink wrap can secure this.. Anyone with actual experience here? Side View

Hello Michael and welcome to the forum.. I'm please to have you here and jealous because I have not been trout fishing in years.. I miss the hunt involved in fly fishing, my great grandfather tied his own flies and wrapped his own poles and had the patience to explain it all in great detail to a 6 year old boy.. As you know smells trigger memories, when I was young we used to go camping up in the Sierra mountains and go trout fishing every year. A wet trout has a distinct smell that is very different for some reason from any other fish. When I smell a wet trout today I'm flooded with childhood memories. Every time I see your avatar I flash on the smell and get this partial flood of memories again.. We're sure funny animals.

Would be wild.. I agree and love the idea but they are too large.. KOmodos are designed to use 1" tiles. Actually 25mm and 28mm to be exact.

Last birthday at 95 This is a shot of Art and my father last year at his 95th Birthday celebration in Lake Tahoe. And the whole Linkletter clan

Re: Happy 96th Birthday Grandpa Yes, 96! I actually just got off the phone with him and brought him up to date with what's going on with my move to Bali and my kids.(who yes, say the darnedest things;-) Both he and my grandmother had been fortunate to have great health. She's 94 and we are trying to get her to stop driving. About 5 months ago Art was still going to the office everyday at 9 and home at 3. He then had a stroke which has slowed him down but his mind is still as sharp as ever. I will be seeing him for the annual family reunion scheduled for late September. Here is a youtube with him I was just sent today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im58XcqDu9M&feature=related

Just when I thought I had survived the learning curve of importing and selling my first container of charcoal BAM! I get smacked with what should have been very obvious. In hindsight, embarrassingly obvious as it's being sold on them and nothing anybody wants is free. But I can pass some of the blame in the fact that the quotes I was given for the warehousing left them out also.. Here's the skinny. Warehouse charges $27.50 per shrink wrapped pallet. In and out handling $7.50 per pallet. Palettes are also 45lbs. BTW There are price breaks at 200, 600, 1000 and 2500 lbs.. But a palette may have any amount. The max total is 95 boxes.

The source of most commercial activated carbon is from shells. Charcoals made from shells have very little impurity. The volume of ash a charcoal produces is determined from the raw material it comes from. Good quality CoCoNut charcoal has very little impurities and therefore leaves only about 3.5% ash. Contrary to popular internet myths it does give off some smoke but very little compared to other charcoal. The smoke from the unburned volatiles does impart a flavor but is what I'd call extremely neutral. When I did my burn tests for ash content, the smell in the house was so nice, sweet and subtle, I'd almost be tempted to use it as incense. Here in Asia the street sate vendors use coconut shells because if the intense infrared heat they give off and sweet profile. I'd say you would only be able taste it without rub and only on fish and chicken. For everyday cooks I'd use standard lump charcoal.. but for times when you want control of your smoke profile or want to have almost no smoke profile as with bread, pizza and some fish, the coco makes sense. Nobody wants mesquite flavored sour dough bread. Also if you wanted to smoke with a wood or material that has delicate/light smoke profile, the lump's flavor/profile might over dominate your target flavors. This would be very common with the stronger flavored charcoals like mesquite for example. If you use the coco as your charcoal you could then use any material that smokes to impart flavor on your meat.. I've even heard of people using garlic and basil for smoke. Another great feature of the extruded coconut is the consistency in which it burns which makes it great for low and slow cooks.. it's very much set and forget. I just found a shipper that is offering better rates for mixed cooker and charcoal shipments, so I will start sending different charcoals that can be bundled with the coconut so one can get a mixed palette at a greatly reduced price. I also have some ideas for charcoals that will be cutting edge and completely different from what's available.. and of course KOmodo quality.

Re: Does Extruded have a shelf life? I'm surprised to hear that someone was put off by coconut charcoals taste/profile because while it does impart a flavor, it is what I'd call extremely neutral. Here in Asia the street sate vendors use coconut shells because if the intense infrared heat they give off and sweet profile. I'd say you would only be able taste it without rub and only on fish and chicken. Did your wife ever taste the rubs you were using alone? Maybe it was something else she did not care for and was blaming the charcoal on.

Re: forum format for charcoal I understand that, what you might want to do is always use the "View Unread Posts" search to read what's interesting to you. Once read, use the "Mark all topics read" feature to clear the unread charcoal posts.. This will delete the unread charcoal posts from your member's cache. I'm sure as the charcoal business grows it will get a linked forum and website of its' own. I hope the method detailed above will eleviate the problem in the meantime..
