Re: Check your email Dennis. Check your email, I have a solution to your problem. Sorry it took so long..

It's in my Iphone! Actually there were 6 shots of your stone cooker and I pulled them as not to tempt people into wanting one.. Why show what they can't have? But I'm very proud of that Komodo.. It's in my Iphone!

he hole is CNC cut to Fred's specifications The hole is CNC cut to Fred's specifications for the inducer tube.. I've heard reports where the weld bead inside causes a problem. I'm confidant that two strokes with a small file will do the trick..

It's 40" Yea I wish.. I even sold my Terra blue to a neighbor and am cookin' on the glazed golden yellow textured creation.. It was my back up.. still makes great food. Oh I almost forgot.. casually around the front handle, around the two tables with the tables left in, it's 40".

Looks great to me.. It reminds me of my favorite.. Tri Tips. It's 11pm and that shot is really making me hungry...

OTB vs K7 cooking area.. Yes that is a K7 grill I've just made up for someone who can't seem to contact their grill maker..

The OTB's grill is down about 4" from the lip.. so the actual area above where your meat sits is MUCH larger than the K7's grill. Remember that you can't put meat close to the edge of a K7.. while you can fill up the OTB.

I'm guessing it is open... Has the country re-opened yet? You didn't think I'd let you forget did you? Aahh well I did not actually go into town.. But I'm guessing it is open... I'll check it it's open tomorrow.. Ok?

Re: My Food Good looking damper top!

For those of you who don't know, rabbit is a lean, slightly sweet meat with a closely textured flesh that has virtually no fat and is very high in protein. Rabbit is an alternative to chicken, with the additional advantage that it is commonly raised without the use of hormones or steroids. Happy Easter to all..

Right place.. Right time.. 'nuf said..

What did we all do pre-Google? What did we all do pre-Google?

But I gotta tell you they look great.. What made you choose 168º as your target internal temperature? I believe the breakdown of the nasty stuff to collagen takes place from 165-175º But I gotta tell you they look great.. Cooked enough to have that stringy texture but firm enough to have bite.. What gives them that glaze? I'm going to pull my next low and slow at 178º and try to spend a lot of time in the conversion zone... PS Would you please repost those shots in the Cooking photos area. Can't have too much of a good thing.

Re: My KK with side tables That looks great.. The country is closed until Monday.. I'm happy to get you some measurements then. I also wish I had a set of those side tables with the ultra long gestation.

target meat temp.. If your pieces of charcoal are all touching each other, you will have no problems with maintaining your target temperature with a Komodo. What I really like is the alarm that tells you when you've hit your target meat temp.. Unless you are camping next to your cooker.. it's too easy to overshoot your target.

Komodo's limited production never enabled us to be able to custom order tiles but when I saw this tile in a larger size I just had to get them made for Komodo.. Here it is after six months of smoozing I finally convinced the factory to do a custom run for me.. They look like the traditional BBQ black but with a silky smoothness to them.. very slick.. I gotta have one for myself! Silky Black And here is a new tile from a different company.. Any ideas for a name for this new tile?

Re: Side tables I've sent the final prototype out to the stainless job shop for the quote

Re: Side tables Yup.. I've sent the final prototype out to the stainless job shop for the quote and to build the first 18 pairs. Everybody who wants the new side tables will need to send me a photo of their side plate.. I have had a few different versions in the last 4.5 years..

Correct.. Yup.. a component that will be used to make the mold of the lip off/from..

I'd fiddle with this idea.. Thanks for the input. [/quote:s88acbmi] Not that I think it would need to hold more lump.. It's a good idea to consider making it wider down below.. The 19.5 is a pretty much a downscaled version of it's big brother. I'd fiddle with this idea.. Thanks for the input.

Another Chuck..More bite wanted.. Last chuck was a tasty but could have been a little more firm.. It sorta fell apart after freezing. So I'm going to try to pull this one a bit earlier.. Marinated this one overnight in some red wine, balsamic, fresh rosemary and thyme, sun dried chilies, and a handful of a couple of different rubs.. Slathered on thick French's mustard ensures a solid hard bark Tied up to make the chuck more round/solid, then evenly sprinkled with rub. Threw it on with coffee wood and one chunk of hickory. Set it at about 220º After 22 hours I pulled at 182º (wanted it out at 180º) and did not wrap it.. Just left it out to cool. Much more pleased with the texture of this one. You can see how much more stringy this one appears. Will pull about 178º next time and wrap.. I want it to have a little more bite.. it's plenty tender.. I don't mind chewing. But pleased with this one.. stuffed myself eating the best looking pieces while vacuum bagging this up..

CNC milled interlocking lip After waiting 3 weeks to get some time on this machine, I thought some might like to see how we will achieve a perfect airtight seal. Here is a shot of the new 19.5 OTB's interlocking lip being milled. The cutter is stationary and the table moves, it is movement computer controlled.
