it's direct with a drip pan for browning.. Because it's direct heat with a drip pan for browning your birdies.. I love it! Yup, I'll definitely need to fabricate something to put the heat on the sides. In the past, I've cooked until most of the fat rendered off indirect and then direct to brown the birdies.. This is much better.. Thanks for the great idea.

The Salad.. The mystery ingredient turned out to be pan fried pancetta, thinly sliced rounds. TJ's mixed baby greens gorgonzola cheese, crumbled sweet/spiced pecans diced Asian pear fried pancetta all dressed with Trader Joe's gorgonzola pear dressing. Yes, it was good

The salad..

A McGyverish fix I'm looking for some small springs to weld on the end of the shaft.. A McGyverish fix that also works is to wrap a standard rubber band around the shaft on the motor side after installing the shaft roll it to the motor side. It will keep the shaft from entering the motor socket too far.. I sorta cringe to tell a customer to hold something in place with a rubber-band but it does work..

Pretty much one size and shape.. My business is now pretty much focused on the OTB shape. It only comes in the 23" size. How it's packaged with different accessories and quality of the different components determines the different models. ie. Gen II, Supreme Plus or Supreme. Although I regularly truck Komodos across the country, purchasing one from the closest warehouse will save you money.

Doing a humpty dumpty on you and tipping over. It's going to need to be secured/bolted down. Would not want it doing a humpty dumpty on you and tipping over.

One more for the road before I went home.. I just had to do One more for the road before I went home.. Yup, the first one was not an anomaly.. This one was great also. PS when I went to the Chris Lilly class one of the the catering BBQ trucks made some thin sliced tri tip sandwiches with blue cheese dressing that was out of this world..

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..
