Just a peek..

Re: How Long to Get KK??

I just could not come to the States and not eat some top shelf meat. I procrastinated and actually cooked these the last night before I left. Prime Angus Rib Eye $23.99lb Total for two.. $30.00 Not bad if you compare it to going out. Used Hickory Char Crust on them. They were amazing.. Flavor just oozed out of them. They were so good, Sai and I were laughing as we ate them. The fat was soo good. I can't imagine not eating it.

OTB Dome Shape If you would like to see first hand the results from the even heat given off of the OTB dome shape, cook a pizza on top of an upper/sear grill. Check a few times during the cook to see when and how the cheese melts. Now do that in a Classic, the outside near the crusts will melt first and then become blackened before the dead center is melted completely. You will see the difference.. Talk to a chef that cooks in an Italian style wood burning oven, he'll tell you that the heat is greatest next to the walls.

Re: First EZ-Que Chicken I'll give it a try.. I know that all those fancy nigh end gas Q's have those infra-red units mounted on the side of their rotis.. Last roti cook I started indirect with a drip pan at about 325º. Not sure of the timing but when most of the fat in the skin had rendered off, I pulled the stone and pan and finished it off direct at 400º plus. The skin was very thin and crispy. Also best to start with younger birdies with thin skin.

Sorry about this delay.. I'm happy to accommodate in any way possible.. The cooker would have four bolts to secure it to your base.

Pudding.. I'm fine Jakarta is an hour flight away.. Thanks for asking.

Well I'm finally back in Indonesia from my whirlwind tour of CA. To recant, I landed July 6th and spent 3 days with my momma in Palo Alto, then drove up to Healdsburg to stay with my father four days, then drove to Lake Tahoe to celebrate my grand fathers 95th with 32 family members for 3 days, back to Palo Alto for 1 night before my momma left town, so off to Pismo Beach for a night before settling down in Los Angeles for a full 5 days. I next drove further south and stayed in Corona Del Mar for 4 days and visited my brother and childhood friends in Laguna Beach where I grew up (Very Pre-MTV) I then went out to Pomona for 2 days for the Chris Lilly Competition BBQ class, back to Corona Del Mar for 1 days, back to Los Angeles for one night, then back to Palo Alto for 4 days.. Whew! That was with a my nine year old boy and twenty one month old lil girl in tow. Now it's easy to guess how good sleeping in my own bed felt last night.. to the 14 hours jet lag won't let me sleep.. as you can see it's now 4:38 am for me and I'm here online catching up! Murphy strikes again.. I'll be back answering Emails, twice a day as before.. Please excuse my delays in getting back to you and their brevity sometimes but I'm Baaack and ready to help again.. PS Chris Lilly, 10 times BBQ World Champion loved the KK OTB that Professor Salt (Shuji) brought.. (Shuji was over the top cool and dragged the Black Dragon to the class) Chris and I discussed Komodo design and BBQ cooking principles at length and he agreed enthusiastically that Komodo's design is exactly what it should be, a naturally high humid, low airflow cooking environment. He also loved the quality and looks of the OTB. I also had the pleasure if meeting Chuck AKA So Cal Cooker but stumbled and forgot the forum and did not take photos.. oops..

The Different Packages.. Here is the information requested for the different packages.. http://homepage.mac.com/komodokamado/.Pictures/Forum%2007/KKNewLineUp.jpg I'm back home now and will be able to respond quickly to emails again.

The hole is there.. The hole is there.. It's just covered/filled a bit with the cosmetic white material that lines your cooker.. Wiggling anything small and round inside can clean it out.. No need to use a drill although that would of course work also..

Thanks for the heads up.. Thanks for the heads up.. I'm now in the States visiting family and don't have the copies in my laptop.. I'll try to get someone in Indonesia to find it there and get it up on our server.. Anybody got a downloaded copy handy?

You are correct to the day.. If you check your answering voicemail from yesterday, you will find my voice calling to tell you that your Gen II is not only in but in the warehouse ready to go out.. It's 4:54 am, yup still have jet lag.. trying to catch up on the 14 hours time difference.. Argh.. I'd call again now but would wake up the family. I'm finishing the drive south to Los Angeles later this morning.. and will call to book your delivery before I head south.

Re: Anniversary on "Your" forum..

Latex and Silicone Latex and Silicone Got your attention now.. The latex additive in the grout like material on the lip of your cooker and the silicone adhesive that holds your gaskets in place will add some "aroma" when heated the first few times. Noticeable in the factory but not much remains by the time they are shipped. Nothing that a chip or two won't hide..

Landed on terra firma friday night, could not wait to get my momma's OTB cooking. Ran around all day and ran out of time.. Went to the market thought I'd do some grillin' as it was already 7pm. Bought a marinated Tri-Tip from a very nice meat counter. He said we could grill it.. Virtual web site called for 4-5 hours. So I dropped it in with some cherry smoke at 240º for about 20 minutes.. Then cranked open the top to bring it up to 350. Stopped for a glass of wine and saw it shoot by 350 to 450. Meat temp 148º. Shut it down and let it dwell and pulled it at 165º. EDIT** Thermometer was off.. this was really about 130º Let it rest 20 minutes.. The best meat I've eaten this year. Tender, VERY tasty, off the charts great.. Why does nobody cook or write about this cut?

I'll be off line during the next 24 or so hours it takes for me to get back to the States. I'm back to celebrate my Grand fathers 95th Birth day..

Ultimate list I want some of what your drinking... I read this: This unit will set you back around $12,000USD, but will probably outlast civilization. But he's not saying that the Kalamazoo is #1 but the 1st of a list of Ultimate BBQs. YOu know how heavy metal is sacred with most of the BBQ population.. so in this case I don't mind sitting pretty/beautiful at #2.. 1. Kalamazoo Bread Breaker II Dual Fuel Hybrid Grill - Ultimate Heavy Metal 2. Komodo Kamado - Ultimate Beauty 3. Fire Magic Elite Magnum 50 inch - Ultimate Power 4. Traeger Longhorn Steer Smoker/Grill - Ultimate Q-Cool 5. DCS Liberty Collection - Ultimate Elegance 6. Weber Ranch Kettle - Ultimate Kettle 7. The Grillery Grillworks - Ultimate Purity 8. Evo Grill - Ultimate Tech 9. Twin Eagles Salamangrill - Ultimate Steak

Cooking potatoes in resin produces the finest baked potato you will ever eat. Guaranteed! Pine Rosin or "resin" is a very thick almost sap. It can be bought here: http://jas-townsend.com/product_info.php?products_id=373 The extreme hot produces a remarkably light and fluffy potato. Place in a large iron kettle: 10 - 25 lbs. Resin This sounds extravagant, but the resin may be used repeatedly. Heat resin to the boiling point. This resin will flash so be careful also. Slowly lower a potato into the resin using a large slotted wooden-handled spoon. Allow them to remain in the simmering resin until they float to the top. Remove potatoes and place at once diagonally on foot-square sheets of heavy brown paper. Twist the ends of the paper and serve the potatoes in the wrapping. The process is more thermodynamic than culinary. The hot resin seals the skin of the potato, allowing it to cook very quickly while holding in the moisture.

As you can imagine, I've very pleased to say the least. But I knew this, that's why I named the Gen II the Ultimate! Ultimate Grills From Derrick Riches, Your Guide to Barbecues & Grilling. The best of the best grill on the market http://bbq.about.com/od/grills/tp/aatp062907a.htm These are the most fantastic grills on the market today. If you have the cash you can drop on of these on your patio and impress all the visiting dignitaries. From gas to charcoal and everything else you can imagine, these top end grills can do it all with professional quality whether you are grilling up burgers or a 7-course meal for heads of state. 1. Kalamazoo Bread Breaker II Dual Fuel Hybrid Grill - Ultimate Heavy Metal 2. Komodo Kamado - Ultimate Beauty Komodo Kamado The history of the Kamado Charcoal Grill is too long and confusing to recount. Suffice to say that when Dennis Linkletter found himself in possession of a little company importing these ceramic charcoal wonders, he knew he could make it better. From a reinvention of airflow, spring assisted lid, and laser cut stainless steel parts this is one loaded grill. It includes the EZQ Rotisserie system and the BBQ Guru temperature control blower. Anyone who knows eggs about Kamado grills know that they grill at incredible temperatures and smoke at a perfect low and slow pace. This unit takes it to the next level and does it inside a shell of pure beauty.

So I got 4, going for 7. These are the designs that were issued Patent Pending Status OTB's unique body shape with rear chimney with straps and hinge built into the body. Two layer construction. Komodo sandwich construction of a dense refractory inner layer with a lightweight outer layer of insulation. Two Piece Firebox The user adjustable spring powered rear hinge. I have three other features/designs that are still being searched. We needed to revise the description a bit. So I got 4, going for 7.

Re: Suggestion: Include 1 Free Box of Extruded Coconut Charc I wish I had a big pallet of coconut charcoal. It's made in the Philippines and so it goes directly to the States. But yes that would be right up my alley to fill Komodos with charcoal. I love the idea..
