  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. Re: Side tables I've sent the final prototype out to the stainless job shop for the quote
  5. 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..
  6. Correct.. Yup.. a component that will be used to make the mold of the lip off/from..
  7. 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.
  8. 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..
  9. 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.
  10. Might be like stuffing a V8 in a Porsche... Thanks HP.. I definately want he high torque models to fit in. Might be like stuffing a V8 in a Porsche... It can be done..
  11. Will somebody please send me the measurements - AC motor Will somebody please send me the measurements of the AC motor. Including switch position. Thanks
  12. It will happen.. It will happen.. Don't ya just hate that!
  13. Yes, they are the same Yes, they are the same. They can be sold individually.. why not?
  14. Different textures and finishes Yes, I do many different textures and finishes.. I just added more photos As they will be completely different not only in wood type and color but having 2 dimensions... it's no different that mixing it up with stone, brick or carpet. I've done houses with different textures in different rooms. I might agree having two flat sanded floors might look odd but this is a completely different beast.
  15. All my floors are textured... This is the most simple/basic texture.. Soft Highlighted This is my Rainwashed Something new.. 8" wide Multi Strip This is Hand Hewn (chopped) LITE This is the full Hand Hewn (chopped) Linear planned door production I'll get more shots up this weekend.
  16. Just wanted to shout out a big Komodo welcome to you.. Is the Duk something you shoot and Q after you call it? If so, we will demand photos and recipes! With 2 K's experience under your belt, you must have a trick or two to share.. Dennis
  17. Ready stock.. Ready stock.. 6" wide random lengths from 32-86" mostly around 50-60" Couple of options.. Please check your Email
  18. I'll call you in the morning.. your tonight I'll call you in the morning.. your tonight.
  19. The problem plagued, worlds longest project pretty much finished. Yes, the project had problems that made me throw it against a wall a few times. But everything works smoothly now.. The small boxs (front and back) against the cooker will hold small teflon pads to keep the tiles from being scratched. The wood table is held in place by the swinging tabs. Yes, the rotisserie motor can be used.. of course. The version shipped will have acorn nuts with sleeves to secure the tables.
  20. Re: Yes I have about 10,000 sq' in over run material in stock that depending on the texture and finish I will sell to forum members starting at about $5.00 sqft Ex- Carson CA. My new production flooring runs $6.50-$9.50 sq' This floor was sold retail in 2001 for $12-18 sq' (and it was not as nice) Claim to fame: I did the flooring for John Malkovich's house near Provence, France This flooring is pre-finished ready to glue down to any sub-floor even below grade. Easy, inexpensive installation because unlike solid floors this floor does not twist and buckle.. needing expensive nail down installations. Please write me directly and I'll do you right.
  21. Yes.. Big difference between PU and Tung Oil Yes,.. That's the big difference between a polyurethane and Tung Oil finish. A PU finish is basically a plastic layer that when damaged/ looks tired in high traffic locations such as doorways needs the entire room sanded out and recoated. A dirty, smelly mess. The beauty of an "in" the wodd tung oil finish is that you can scotch brite the tired area, just refinish that area and it matches beautifully.
  22. Don't have many photos of this job for the very exclusive Maia Hotel in the Seychelles but what I do have looks nice.. Here are some shots I took recently in the factory.. These are production shots of the 8" planks for a Hirsch Bedner, New Four Seasons Hotel also in the Seychelles. The floor is Linear planned using a hand plane with a blade ground with a very subtle arch. This floor is almost closed pore but we also do a open highlighted grain. As you can see they are more polished but still distressed looking. There are no flat surfaces on them but the look is very subtle. It's a matte Tung oil finish but shown here with a bit of bee's wax on them for sheen. The problem is that the white fiberglass panels in the roof give all the shots a whitish haze.. but I'm sure you get the idea. Please feel free to ask all kinds of questions, I'm happy to work on creating exactly what you want. This top shot is shot low across the floor that's on a work table to show the irregular surface.. but as you can see in the other shots it's not as noticeable. Tung oil is not very shiney.. this is a waxed finish over the tung oil..
  23. Here are some shots that show the components and some of the process This is the 13mm Flooring base Cut into strips Expansion joints cut - 4mm 3ply base and 9mm solid cross laminated core. Wet teak sawn at 4.5mm, pressed and dried in racks Dried in de-humidification kilns to 6% Laying up base and teak wear layer Hot press for laminating floor to core/base Teak laminated to the base Tongue and grooved on all four sides Flooring is sanded, colored and finished on tables by hand. Grain is highlighted by hand.. after being opened by high pressure water blasters and fine garnet.. Rainwashed on tables for finishing 14' long baseboards Linear planed 8" Boards
  24. These shots are of my Hand Hewn texture and is (hand) made with a traditional adze. This is the loud/dramatic version, today we usually do a more subtle version. But it sure made a statement in this house..
  25. I'll get up photos tomorrow but I've been cleaning out the factory and have over 10,000sq' of overruns. This flooring will be reworked and refinished to the customers request. The following volumes and sizes are available: 1.) 355 sq' of 5 1/2" wide 9/16" Teak 2.) 363 sq' of 6" wide 9/16" Rainwashed Teak 3.) 880 sq' of 6" wide 9/16" Teak 4.) 1,378 sq' of 6" wide 9/16" Teak (all 3 layers teak) 5.) 636 sq' of 4 3/4" wide 9/16" Teak I'll get the rest of the list up tomorrow
