My Saisuda's Nahm Phrik.. Good stuff My wife who is very particular when it comes to food offers this version. (Different regions, different Nahm Phrik) Nahm Phrik.. Thai chili paste. 15-20 Thai Chilies - Prik Kee Nuu 5 Sun-Dried Long Thai Chilies - Prik Chee Fah 2-3 large Garlic cloves, peeled 2 Shallots, peeled 1 tbsp Fish Sauce - nam plah Juice of 1/2 golf ball size fresh Lime 3 cherry Tomatoes Crush shallots, garlic, and chilies in a mortar and pestle (or food processor) until smooth. Add fish sauce, lime juice to taste.. Taste and add to balance the flavors. It should have balance, no flavor should stand out especially the lime. (Some people add sugar to tone down the lime, the wife thinks this is lazy and cherry tomatoes add a better sweetness)

Magic Memory Dough.. Ever read about material that has memory? Well this dough was really it. Before I added flour to it, no matter what I did to it, it bounced back. At first frustrating, later humorous. I'll try punching it down once and warming up.. But there was no way in hell I could have thinned this out with out the board and roller... A few answers for new to dough boy questions please. How long can dough keep? Can it be home frozen? Can I use this dough like the sour dough starter that was posted, just keep adding to it? I could not find yeast in the markets.. Remember people here eat rice not bread as a whole. Is the elasticity from too much air from the yeast also? To get a thinner more flakey crust do I add more flour and water and less of this pre-made yeast based dough? Thanks all...

No bugs.. only pulled pork. I'm beginning to think that I'll never live down those bug posts.. I guess I need to get Stewsan to post some bug grilling pictures to draw this special attention away from yours truly..

After seeing Stewsans pizza, I just had to try one. I took the easy road and ordered dough from the local bakery.. Brought it home, threw a lump the size of a cantaloupe in the fridge and woke up to a basketball sizelump. I cut some off, floured up the board and using a wine bottle as a roller tried to roll out a pizza.. Not much expierience here and had to laugh as it was so elastic that it just kept shrinking back to a small thick lump.. Took me a while to figure out I needed to add flour and dry it out a bit to get it to stay put. Oh well live, learn and laugh. I used a basic tomato base with thin slice tomatoes, fresh basil and Eetalian spices I use for my tomat peescetti. Topped that with mozzarella, slivered red, yellow and green bell peppers, shrooms and pulled pork. It tasted as good as it looked. About 6-8 minutes on the upper sear grill at about 740ºf

Awesome night shot! Eric in Washington's wife knows how to use a camera and lights...

No problem at all.. This business definitely has a lot of tire kickers.. I'm pretty sure that the other K has made people wary.. The result is that I get a lotta mail.. I used to be able to almost always get back in a day or two.. Now if I'm offline for a few days it takes me almost a week to catch up. I go thru and mark/flag the time sensitive ones and get them out first but I really gotta give up answering the basic inquiries.. time to get back on my plan to delegate some of the mail. The gal I hired to help me was so useful in doing other things in the factory that she's never been trained fore the mail.. BTW I've almost caught up with the backordered accessories.. We've sent out 73 packages... easily a record for us!

Back @ ya.. 2mails in your box..

Re: It got hot! High heat is very relative.. The white material inside the cooker is for cosmetic purposes only not refractory. Now this is the first time I've ever heard of the screw burning a handle.. Any idea how hot it was? YOur TelTru must have been been wrapped.. My guess is you were over 1,200. Please remember that the hot air going out the top causes a vacuum thru the lower draft door and this acts like a blower.. I guess I need to make that handle with a sleeve in it.. If you can't McGyver it back on right, I'm happy to send you a new one.

Sure did and sure does.. Sure did and sure does..

NO leakage in current production He has a Gen II OTB from our most current production. All the bugs have been fixed and his cooker is absolutely airtight and needs no latch or hinge adjustments. There was some gasket/adjustment problems with that were unforeseeable that have been discovered and corrected. No new Komodos need the "after a while adjustments"..

Re: Pizza stone.. The ceramic disk you received with your Supreme works well as both a heat deflector and pizza stone.. Give it a go.. Dennis

Kamado Posts.. I'd like your support in keeping any and all even remotely negative Kamado posts off the forum. Anybody with any google skills will find them elsewhere. If it's not positive, it's not where I'd like to keep my and this group's focus. It tends to read like I and Komodo need to bad mouth Kamado to sell cookers. This of course is just not the case. After a lil' while I'm going to delete this topic and repost this on it's own. Thanks in advance for your help

Good question.. I'll e back in Indonesia later this week.. I have a few #7's out back in the dump.. I'll have the guys pull one out and check for you. Maybe I'll start making up some accessories for K7 owners that can't get them via regular channels.

Have no fear.. Guru Fred has agreed to make some up for us out of his high temp plug material..

I'm thinking audio file in the car.. I really like Bourdain's narrative style on his show which I'm sure is how he writes.. As he has great voice I'm thinking audio file in the car.. I'd much rather hear this one than read it.. I just checked and it's available as an mp3..

A big are package has been sent A big are package has been sent to my brother Mike in Laguna who will be taking over for Tony who has been more than a hero for Kamado this last couple of years.. I'll contact everyone on this post who wants something and get Jonny the measurements.. I also have a set of side tables ready for pictures..

Re: Blue Mix There is a very large ceramic producer who was the supplier for Kamado when they were here and apparently when they returned to the States and then Mexico. So it's probably the same factory. The mixes they produce change a little from year to year.. and yes it's a textured matte finish.

Re: More newby questions... It's sealed, that's just a lil supply for the future.

Our newly galvanized CNC cut grill jig will help stop carbon steel contamination of our stainless Quality welding on a 3/8" grill As stainless needle bearings are not available our resident McGyver DJ came up with a great solution. A brass sleeve is pressed into a stainless tube and voila.. SS roller Thanks DJ (again!) Machined roti drive shaft tips hold the springs in place The longest project known to mankind moves ahead..

That's a custom cooker.. That's a custom cooker.. The green has a little variation and is really beautiful. There's another tan custom back in the sling..

Apple twigs I have my factory manager bring me finger sized apple twigs. Very smooth profile. Threw out the mesquite I had once I tried the apple.

Argh... Nice play room Cozy.. All my private tools and machines including hand planes given to me by my great grandfather were burned and then subsequently stolen when my factory burned down. Really miss them and having my own shop to futz in. Good call installing the central dust collection system. People often don't realize how important it is.. After spending the last 18 years working with teak which has dust that is irritating I can now notice after a few hours if our filters are clogged up. After a few days of that, I get the dry cough/hack. No fun..

Serious Meat Porn That's just not right. Actually painful to see but not smell and taste Serious Meat Porn
