Here is the first casting in simple portland to use as our "fitting" prototype.. It's awesome in person and will redefine what's possible in a Kamado grill. The grates will be in two pieces and have alignment pins in them. It will have a much larger latch. It will have sleeves for large bolts on the lid sides so removable side handles can be added to the lid so the lid can more easily be handled. It will have two 23" Ultimate based hinges with common rod and top and bottom straps. And will have a huge roti cradle for BIG Piggies! Whatcha think?

Here is the first prototype of my new Cold Smoker.. The Guru Adaptor will be much smaller of course. I'm really pleased with how clean the smoke is.. The new version will have a stainless cup on the bottom to collect water and tars. This will add lots of versatility to your cooks.. with the adjustable air pump on low the unit hardly creates any heat.. I'm really looking forward to smoking many of different things.. My first smoked chicken was a hit with the family.. Never got this much smoke while burning charcoal. ColdSmokerForum.mp4

Nice write up here.. Ocean Home write up

The secret with spinning anything is to center the meat on the basket's axis.. This way the motor does not have to work. The cradle reducers center different size pieces of meat and the cradle's now have multiple shaft points to give you more options too.. Imagine spinning a bike wheel, then tie a shirt to the outside of the wheel and spin it.. you would get the big wobble.. That's what you want to avoid..

I get special rates for charcoal to a business with lift gate or forklift. I can get from 10-800-lbs to most areas for only $150-175.. Freight Calculator enter in correct weight and zip code

I'd be all over that.. Love the thick bacon..

Always wished I could get only points for both burnt ends and for my super deluxe hamburger mix. I think tying them together was a great idea.. more volume. less exposure to airflow reduced evaporation too.. Love the Money shots!

I get my fresh spices from World Spice ~ www.worldspice.com Their spices are usually 60-80% more aromatic than the pre-ground and packaged crap that they sell in markets. The closest analogy would be pre-ground coffee compared to fresh roasted and ground at the time of consumption.. They will grind for you as they ship which is what I would do if I lived stateside. I'd just order every three months. I get things in their natural form and grind or chop up myself. My go to rubs I make larger batches and then keep them in a vacuumed tub in the freezer. Don't leave the cold tub sitting open to collect humidity. Pour out what you need and immediately return to freezer. I do not put any salt in my rubs.. I weigh my meat in grams or use the package weight if I have not trimmed too much and then add 0.6% - 0.8% salt .

I laugh every time I hear Dexter because that's my son's name!

Lookin good.. love to see them in their new homes. Have fun with it!

To Clarify: The tiles do not hang over the edge, the lip of the grill will touch a flat surface first and not the tiles. If you lift only one side the tiles will touch the surface it's sitting on.. The specked black that had tiled damage was lifted from one side and then while sitting on the edge was pulled/dragged towards the high side. This pulled the tiles away the grill's face.

New long awaited feature of this upgrade.. Drag and drop for images! After dragging them into the file area.. click the grey plus to add to post.. double clicking lets you reduce size of image. The salmon image was wider and I made them the same.. Sahweet!

Bam.. it's out of the park... Homerun

Solved this too.. All grills now ship with a very long allen key that goes in from the other side of the spring and makes removing and installing those allen bolts easy.

Sunbrella Covers Komodo Kamado makes custom covers A little about these covers. We use the best material we can find, 'Exterior Marine grade Sunbrella, color fast, breathable, resistant to sun, mold, mildew, atmospheric chemicals, salt, rain, etc. comes from the manufacturer with a 10 year warranty (excluding labor). The best warranty in the industry. Sunbrella is the material you see used in the marinas on 80% of the boats/sail covers. Seams are double sewn waterproof style, seam edges turned under and sewn. Heavy 18oz. nylon reinforced vinyl (truck tarp) is sewn inside around the mid section (6" wide band), and inside the very top to protect from rubbing against top of hat(damper), hinge, etc.. There's also a matching sunbrella handle sewn flat into the top; comes in handy for handling the covers during install/removal and can also be used to hang the cover while not in use. These will be made up and shipped on the next container leaving Indonesia or sent out directly post to you from Indo..

I already sent your delivery order to to the trucking agent.. Ball is rolling! Congrats George..

You can never cook too many ribs.. Look great. Home made sauce? I can't easily get sauces here so I'm going to have make some anybody have a show stopping sauce recipe?

What an amazing burger.. Great KK cook.. now I need to make some burgers soon. That tomato is a home run too..

This type of damage is caused when the weight of the lid is set on something uneven and the full weight is only on the edge of the tiles. LOL I've made that same mistake before.. Closing the lid firmly on tongs or something solid can do that to.. Seen that too.. That won't re-attach there because the grout on the edges dries out completely.. You will have/need to use the acrylic material to re-attach those tiles that were basically pried off the lid. Not a big deal..

Welcome to the forum.. and congrats on your purchase!

Personally this 5" shown below does not work for me.. and I also really think the Smoke/BBQ/Grill wordage is a bit hokey and very amateurish. KK grills now have a 2" dial.. The 32" BB could maybe go as large as 3.5" but any larger than that would be out of scale and distract from the whole..

Not the one I have made up.. Same to 750º

The current charcoal basket's bottom rods are close enough to keep smalls from falling thru and with the basket installed the firebox holds the smalls in place. But if you want to pick up and change baskets or lift out the basket the sides won't hold small pieces. Whatcha all think about reducing the spacing on the side rods on the lower part of the basket like this? Worth the additional expense or unnecessary?

Those look great.. Love beef ribs.. The place that I get my beef from has wagu beef ribs from time to time. Great flavor but because they are soo fatty they can make you feel like you just drank oil after you eat too much. Last time we bought freshly baked half sized croissants, and made lil' sandwiches with wasabi mayo. They were so good, everybody ate too many and we had to delay dinner.

I recently received this email.. I don't agree a 5" thermometer is desirable.. But wanted to run this by you just in case.. Email: I currently own a big green egg XL. I plan on upgrading to your ceramic cooker as soon as I can as it seems to be the most innovative on the market. One item however of constructive criticism of your grill is the thermometer. This is where your grill is like everyone else's and shouldn't be. I changed out the thermometer on my BGE XL for a Tel Tru five(5) inch diameter glowdial thermometer and it is fantastic. The size of the face of the thermometer makes it easy to read and monitor even at a distance. Plus it is extremely accurate. Also as your large grills are much larger than the competition, it fits the size of the grill. It costs retail about $100.00 but lets face it ceramic grills aren't cheap in the first place and therefore should not have cheap accessories. All of the components of your product are off the chart super high quality save one, the thermometer. I hope that you take this comment the way it was meant as a way to improve a great product. My Reply: My KK's thermometer is also a Tel-Tru bi-metal which is considered the best in the business not a cheap accessory and is the same ±1% accuracy as the large one you are using. Esthetically I would cringe at a 5” face on anything except my 32” grill and even then I don’t see the advantage of the larger face. If you are grilling at high temps you are standing in front of the grill.. For low and slow, because of the insulation it’s set and forget.. no need to constantly adjust your airflow like on ceramic grills that allow airflow around the firebox/charcoal. I only need/want to monitor my meat temp from a distance and there are many remote thermometers on the market.. I always use the ones that give me both grill and meat temps.. Honestly in 12 going on 13 years of building the grills the only complaint about the thermometers have been they occasionally fog up. Whatcha all on the forum think? Thanks in advance..
