  2. Re: Granite work-surface Pick your own I now ship the large KK workstation with or without the granite top so you can pick your own. The size needed for this are considered smalls and are reasonable because the are the leftover pieces from larger kitchen sales. This workstation is very Komodo like in that it is over built and actually engineered. The piece is all teak with mortise and tenon joints. The doors are in house 5 layers of teak which are cross laminated to make essentially teak plywood. This is used for the door frame because it does not expand or warp when it gets wet. It's the ultimate material for outdoor door frames and drawers. Woodworking has of course been my primary business for 28 years here in Indonesia. To give you an idea of how this piece is built it is 64"w X 28"d X 33.5"h and weighs a whopping 214 lbs of only teak. KK~Workstation.jpg[/attachment:1w4jr2q4] n67324
  3. Re: Rubs Spice from this place was the game changer.. On average 60-80% more aromatic and flavorful. I order them whole and grind them fresh.. never add any salt to my rubs. For ribs and brisket, sea salt by weight, 0.6% by weight (thanks Syzygies
  4. Re: KK~ How to install your roti motor video Joe at one grill changed to a new motor that seems to have a tad bit smaller socket and some reports of a motor with a shallow socket. I understand your frustration but only know about things like this when I get feedback. As you saw in the video, with the original motor.. it works well. This of course is not how the motor was designed to be installed. This is the first I've heard about the key being a tight fit, I will look into this. The female threaded sleeves are a new to the KK's they used to have a bolt sticking out of the grill instead. We have also had issues with the tubes threads getting messed up when the tubes are cut to length. The bolts were put in without cleaning the threads properly with a tap. I'm sorry about the frustration caused by these parts.. It's been a hotly discussed component in the factory.. We also had two different machine shops/suppliers which had slightly different taps that caused issues. We are now definitely aware of the problems and are redesigning the entire roti system to improve it's ease of use.. I will contact you and make up a shaft that fit your motor..
  5. Re: Most of forum recovered from Hackers.. We were hacked again sale arsehole.. Left malware that could have deleted the entire forum.. Once I knew he was scamming me I hired SiteLock.com to secure the site.. We lost very little and the site is being "hardened" and we should be impenetrable in a few days.
  6. Here is a simple video that shows how to install the roti motor.. We had two companies making the roti components because the better company was often fully booked and could not take the order.. Mistake.. we're learning lots.. one problem was that the sample motor we were using had a larger than standard socket.. Go figure.
  7. Re: 8" to 6" Roti Cradle Reducer We have only made up this prototype.. But we'll make some up for existing 8" owners and then package it 8" with them in the future. Do you hear something out front? Go check it's probably being delivered as you read this... Actually the problem with putting a smaller piece of meat in the larger 8" basket is that the meat no longer turns on it's axis.. It's out of center and wobbles.. This reducer raises the distance of the cradle from 4" from the axis to 3" to the axis. Simple but efficient modification.. I got really excited when I figured this out and could hardly wait to see it in metal form. As I said, It will definitely kill the sales where people purchase both and I'll now include it in the 8" package which will make the 8" now cost about $110 so I'm sure there will still be some 6" sales at $74.
  8. Re: Coconut Charcoal is Amazing Remember that the volume of the charcoal is not the only determining factor for how much actual fuel there is for your cook. It's also the density of the charcoal and of course the fixed carbon content.. The same volume of charcoal from soft wood will of course weigh much less than the same volume of dense hardwood charcoal which of course weighs even less for the same volume as the extruded CoConut shell charcoal. Then depending one how well it was carbonized, the fixed carbon content can range from a low of about 50% to a high of around 95%. So with these figures in mind, filling the bowl has noting to do with how much actual carbon you have to burn. Perfect example, your 8 hour cook using a full bowl in contrast to a full (16lb) bowl of my KK burning for 85 hours. Oh last but not least.. Thank you for the kudos.. I have to agree, my KK Coconut Charcoal is Amazing!
  9. This is probably not going to be good for my 6" Roti sales but it's a great idea and so here it is. The reducer just sits inside the 8" roti cradle and raises the meat being turned essentially creating a 6" cradle.

  10. Re: Hello from OHIO I really like my Looftlighter.. I wish it had another button for more airflow so it would work like my hair drier. It's basically the same principal.. It lights just a tiny bit but that tiny bit with lots of airglow creates the heat which lights everything so quickly.. I wish it had the slow speed to get a grape worth of charcoal burning then a high speed switch/fan to get it raging.. They sell them for $39 in AU makes the $79 in the States look like a ripoff..

  14. Re: Thoughts/pros/cons of adding Tapatalk support? Problem on this end.. but working on it..
  15. Re: Help on how to maintain grill temp This is not how I recommend adjusting the lower draft door.. First I need to reiterate that the draft door is not supposed to slide easily in and out.. the tension in the guide tubes is by design. It is necessary to hold the door snugly against the stainless frame. The doors are absolutely set at the factory.. Impossible for them not to be.. The problems always come from owners who think they should slide like a drawer and try to adjust them. To check.. First close the door completely and press on each corner to ensure door is touching the frame.. the door should have absolutely no movement, all four corners should be tight against the folded frame. To adjust.. You need to adjust the tubes welded into the frame to adjust the doors position. You need to get a steel rod or long screwdriver that can fit into the tube.. the tighter the fit and longer the shaft the better. Let's say 12" or longer is easiest to use. Let's say the lower right corner is out.. Place the shaft into the tube, and gently move the rear end of the tube up "JUST A LITTLE BIT" this will pull the corner in.. Start small. If the entire right side top and bottom is out, you will want to move the rear of the tube left.. "JUST A LITTLE BIT" this will pull the corner in.. Start small. As you will see the adjustment of the tube will change how the door sits. You also quickly see how the tension between the rods and tube is by design.. If you have tried to adjust your door by putting pressure on the rods you might have tweaked your door. Please look across the top of the sheet metal to ensure it is still straight and flat.. Please feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss this further..
  16. Re: Help on how to maintain grill temp You are better off not using the blower until the grill is heat soaked and at the target temp. When you first light the charcoal the body is absorbing much of the heat and will give you a false reading of the heat generated. The temp control device will run the blower until it reaches the set target temp. All this forced airflow will light much more charcoal than is needed and even with all vents and your damper top closed will result in your grill overshooting the target temp.
  17. Re: Thoughts/pros/cons of adding Tapatalk support? Probably.. Maybe when he was backing up the forum before he started to do the upgrade..
  18. Re: Thoughts/pros/cons of adding Tapatalk support? Being installed now..
  19. Re: Murry's Beeswax I believe that all wax will have nasty solvents, many of them even have toluene which I really would not want in my grill. Corn or potato chips burn quite well and will light charcoal..
  20. Re: Beef ribs a cookin! I have never believed that putting water in a KK does anything except ruin your bark.. With a big piece of meat cooking, your KK already has a cloud of steam inside the dome. A water pan would not create that much additional humidity and water in the meat's surface still turns to vapor when it hits 212ºf. You will get some evaporation with or without it. In a metal grill you need the water to create humidity because the much larger airflow volume dries out the air and your meat.
  21. Re: Did a Brisket today due to LarryR Video Inspiration Absolutely.. a brisket has a flavor and texture all of it's own. When you nail them they are always crowd pleasers. I make a brisket sandwich with caramelized onions that can make a grown man fry. I often hide the blackened tip with it's chewy French's mustard bark from guests.. so I can have it all for myself. What they don't know won't hurt them!
