Happy Holidays.. Just flew in to LAX, drove down to momma’s house in Corona Del Mar.. Will be here until just after Christmas and then the whole family and relatives are flying to San Miguel de Allende until just after the New Year when I fly back to Bali. I’ll be answering on the regular numbers

Richard Johnson... LOL I'm shocked he's above turf!

They are only $1,500 new today https://kamadocompany.com/product/kamado-k7

It seems these hoses have a safety cut off feature that prevents them from just blowing gas freely. This may be damaged by leaving pressure from the adjustable high pressure regulator while storing.. I'd turn off the gas and bleed the pressure while not in use. I can't imagine anything after the end of the hose doing anything upstream so to speak. Could also be some dirt in the jet causing back pressure issues..

Heylo.. Might be easiest for you just to call.. I'm not clear what's happening here. The connection leaks and this ruins the regulators somehow? As Tony said, they are usually used to pre-heat grills and not that many sold but I would think I'd have heard something. We do have scores of them in use. But mine here in Indonesia has a completely different fitting.. Maybe send photos too.. We'll get ya sorted out.

Knickers the BIG Steer This very big steer is 6 feet 4 inches tall and more than 1.4 tons (2,800 pounds)

Use a foil pouch. a cast iron pot or smoke generator.. this will help burn off the first thick grey yellow, wood alcohol smoke that is also bitter and acrid.. The secondary vapor that has the best/cleanest flavor is very translucent and won't be seen..

Looks good.. do you happen to have any pics of the turkey browned up in the rotisserie? Uncooked food shot usually bomb on Instagram..

Beautiful cook Martin.. brilliant idea to remove the bones and cook by themselves. Killing it my friend!

There are actually brands of charcoal made out of less than hard wood. A 20 lb bag of my coffee wood charcoal would be about half way full. I bought a 20 lb bag once that was completely full. What this meant is that in volume you have quite a bit of charcoal, but in weight you have very little.. Think about the difference between charcoal made our of a soft wood like pine or a hard wood like mesquite or oak. The difference in density can be almost twice. This is the reason traditionally charcoal for grilling is hardwood charcoal. My coconut charcoal is so dense you can put 16 lbs into a 23" grill's basket. You may have only put in a few lbs. Charcoal all produces similar BTU's by weight but by volume drastically different amounts.

As the only turkeys we have here in Bali are the frozen 12lb version, I have no idea how big a 18lb bird would be. I have a wanna be customer asking what size KK is needed to cook a 18lb bird.. I'm guessing a 19" should be able to.. for sure a 21". Anybody know? Thanks in advance!!

Yes there is room on the grate but the direct up from charcoal sweet spot is pretty much full here.. the outside area will not have the same heat/intensity of course..

For thin cracker crust pizza I suggest also trying a baking steel.. You will get the same leopard-spotting at a much lower (safer) grill temp.. The KK baking stone's heat transfer density is engineered for pizza dough using yeast or bread.. much lower temps are transferred to the dough than the baking steels. The balance on the KK stone is when the bottom and the top are finished at the same time ... runs about 5-7 minutes and 500-625ºf Many factors will change these numbers..

Just needs a much lower temp to get the same leopard-spotting results on the cracker crust pies

Oops missed this! We're fine, it was quite a ways away.. I was actually in the States for my 40th High School reunion in Laguna..

Maglev drive system!

Have you tried Craigs List? I know it's sold many a KK grill and I suggest people using it for local/ uncrated grill sales.

I believe he no longer has the crate and wants to sell locally Stamford, Connecticut.

Everybody.. Please shoot at least one shot of your food on the grill AFTER the food is cooked. Uncooked food shots bomb on Instagram.. Thanks in advance!

I bit the bullet and jumped on a plane come back for my 40th high school reunion. Laguna Beach is the smallest public high school in So. Cal and so I actually knew everybody in my class of only 208. Should be fun. I'll be here for a fast and furious week and then jumping on another 23 hour set of flights home. The flight here was a pain because I have a broken rib! Argh.. All my numbers have been rerouted so I can still be easily contacted. Looks like I sold two 42"s today in a 4 hour period.. That's a first for sure..

Love this shot.. I usually roast my chickens on the upper grate to take advantage of the heat that radiates off the ceiling for browning. Would you also please remember to take your shots at the end of your cook rather than the beginning as a nicely browned up bird is more appetizing than a raw uncooked one and gets much more likes on Instagram.. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all your notes of concern.. The 7.5 earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia today was far from Bali and the factory in Java.. We're all ok.

There is a new 63mm conical burr coffee grinder on the Indiegogo. It a single dose, much like my Monolith Titan Flat with almost zero retained grind. Big difference is it's a fraction of the price at about $588 Niche Zero on indiegogo.com BTW I love my Monolith Titan 75mm Flat Burr Grinder but just saw they have a new model with 98mm burrs. I won't be upgrading but will be fantasizing..
