How not to clean your grill.. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS... Especially during the first few "break-in cooks"... Correction.. I'd strongly suggest NEVER letting a full bowl go like this.. There are better ways to clean your grill.. Remember that 1,100º in the top might translate to 1,800 down at the charcoal bowl.. I'm told quality charcoal can hit 2,500ºf. Although the bulk of the moisture is removed from the body, the insulating layer is purposely wet with water before the thin set and tiles are applied to create a better bond. Some of this is heated off before grouting but there will always be some moisture that needs to be eliminated. This is best done slowly.. Or at least slower than our TW just did.. I guess this is a testimate to the durability of my current Komodos.. If you want to sear at high temps, please get one of the upper grills and invert it and set it down on the charcoal bowl.. The heat inches above the raging coals is intense.. Never tried to measure it but 15-30 seconds is all it takes.. I can't imagine that any temp over 800º is really necessary or safe to be reaching down into.. Short welding or garden gloves do not give adequate protection at these temps.. I switched from having the gasket on the lower side of the top for cosmetic reasons.. I'm guessing that the 1,100º and the flames were more than the high temp silicone gasket adhesive could handle.. Maybe gotta move it back down.. But with all that said, Hats off to a beautiful cook.. Great job, Great looking food.. And of course thank you for the Kudos and kind words..

The only way to ensure that your Komodo does not have any leaks is to smoke test it. So that's what we do. We have smoke tested all Komodos with a smoldering bucket of teak saw dust since September.. Yup, one more little way we ensure your Komodo will bring only happiness..

Caveat: I do not have this brand of ceramic cooker. Your legal training is leaking thru...

Re: Bend over and look at your bowl.. No, no handles like that on mine, maybe they were left at the other place Gyspsy used to live Bend over and look at your bowl.. It DOES have the supports but they are 4" not 5".. Which is most recent the 4" or 5"? And why the change? The 5" is the most recent and I thought it permitted piling in more charcoal for those 40+ hour cooks David will need for his Moose chuck rolls..

I'll look into it.. I'll look into it.. But I thought it was above the cooker floor.. Maybe it takes the cold weather to get condensation and I'm never going to get it here.. Anybody else notice this in theirs?

Re: Dennis' email

The Virtual Weber Bullet website has this great resource page. http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/cook.html It has great photos and shows what the different cuts look like and how to prepare/trim them.. I've printed out photos and brought them to the butchers here in Indonesia. And some great recipes too.. Highly recommended..

Lost in translation.. Somewhere along the line, a worker changed, transfered but the plug intent was lost here in the factory and the plug became too dense.. They are back to crumpling up a lil ball of paper then making a little refractory ball and plugging the Guru port.. This should facilitate easy removal in the future cookers... Sorry to have made you work to remove them..

You mean these grill scrapers? You mean these grill scrapers? I had some L shaped brass fittings machined up that turned the gas nipple downwards.. They came out terribly and needed to be redone. That and needing to get to 50 kilos to get a commercial rate has delayed this latest shipment to Tony.. Hopefully tomorrow..

20 are being made up 20 are being made up.. It took a while to source the stainless screen material but the now have it. They are free of charge to all KK customers.. I will eventually contact all customers and send them these but the forum family will be first to receive them..

Tamarind charcoal, Tamarind charcoal..

Terry cloth towel bar... It's never too late to make something better.. I had plans to put some hooks on it but I love the idea of a towel bar.. I'll call it the Terry cloth towel bar...

Ok time to get my feet wet.. Ok time to get my feet wet..but not the lump.. My guy has set up the meeting.. I'm going to inspect a factory that has tons of lump in stock. I told him that the smallest size I wanted was (asian) fist size. I'm also getting rates and going to send a trial container.

After we made up the first prototype, I made of list of 16 changes and this is where we are now. Hopefully this version will go into production. The removable side tables will sit down into this folding bracket and held in place by the two latches..

2CO (www.checkout.com) credit card billing I'm now using 2CO's (www.checkout.com) Email invoice service to do my credit card billing, you may still use your PayPal if you like but this is a much more secure situation.. One time use, they don't keep your card info on file, no member mess.. I login to my account and create an invoice for a sale. They will send you an invoice via Email with a unique invoice URL on their ultra secure server where you can enter your credit card information safely. I'm sure you have heard about the problems with Paypal.(do a google search) At one time they were a necessary evil but this is a better option..

It's considered the best in the world.

Re: Just NOT in Time for mine. Well Tom, Good new is I've been secretly making these for a while and have a load of them on the way to Tony.. Just forgot I had not posted an image or announcement here... I have new website / online store almost up with shopping carts and all.. Will have actual cookers available listed and accessories. Stay tuned

KO-KA LUMP? From day one, people have been asking me to send charcoal... I really don't want to do something unless I can do it better or at least stand out from the crowd. I have a great new twist in how to process and package natural coconut charcoal.. So recently, I've been scouring Indonesia, asking about hardwood lump charcoal. There is of course Tamarind charcoal, my sample shown here. Here is Teak charcoal.. Locals here say it burns the longest... As the wood is prized and very expensive.. this is all made out of branches and stumps. This is the most expensive lump.. purported to burn the hottest. It's the choice fuel for ceramic kilns and for metal smelting.. It is very different looking.. beautiful actually, it shimmers and breaks like stone. (This was the only shot taken with a flash)

Put your gloves on and put this big boy down on your firebox. This grill has the volume to really burn/brand those much desired grill marks that you dream about..

Re: Can I get one more measurement from someone? I'll take measurements and record on a photo tomorrow.. Sorry I missed this post..

Now that's a good lookin' Chicken... Now that's a good lookin' Chicken... No beer can birds for me. If you pre-brine you can broil it longer and burn of more fat and get the skin paper thin and Krispy... The cradles are all 17.5" long and come both 6 and 8" wide.. That looks like the 6"

Here it is at long last.. The official statement via the HW legal department... As I said, Asbestos my Arse! n68456
