Re: Alice our new puppy is in the house! I had an Akita for almost 14 years, so I went from dignified and mellow to totally wacky and hyper.. Poodles are just too smart for their own good.. I'm guessing your dog has some oodle in it too.. Alice is sooo naughty I'm sure she thinks her name is NO!

Re: Too many Colors to choose from........ And the winner for EGGARY is.. Congrats on your new KK.. http://komodokamado.com/ForumPhotos/Feb2012/KK-23-BY8013.jpg[/img:1dufj5g0] http://komodokamado.com/ForumPhotos/Feb2012/KK-23-BY8013close.jpg[/img:1dufj5g0]

Re: 23" KK The drastic difference is that your BGE is a simple glazed ceramic pot with a firebox to protect it from the high temps of the charcoal. While the dense mass holds and releases heat it does not contain any actual insulation, where the KK has two different actual insulations which reduce heat loss. This insulation lets you burn less fuel to maintain your cooking temperature, burning less fuel requires less airflow, the result of less airflow is meat that is more moist (imagine a hairdrier blasting/drying your meat for hours) But not only will you meat be more moist but the reduced airflow means that the smoke will spend more time in the grill where your meat is the coolest item. This results in the smoke/vapor condensing on your meat and giving it more flavor. Not that I recommend it because the expansion should be avoided but a KK with large pieces of charcoal to permit lots of airflow can easily bury the needle on a 1000ºf TelTru thermometer and that's in the dome! I know that 700-800º dome is 1,200-1,400 ºf in the charcoal. I have a grill that we filled with charcoal and then blasted with a large leaf blower.. It went well past the 1,800º the thermocouple was capable of recording. Flames shot out the top and more than 1" of material was glowing.. The refractory hot face is rated for 2,200ºf That was about 7 years ago and It is still being cooked on by my security Yes, it's the width and the across from the back corner to the opposite front corner.

Re: New Leg-less Komodo.. This was the first one we did.. and was going into a built in corner with a wall, so they would not be seen. I was not happy about the washer being taller also but it was hidden and so it went out like that.

Leg-less Komodo.. For those who choose to build in their KK. This Stainless base will prevent the refractory material from wicking up moisture. The small legs keep it from tipping over. ;) n68402 n68401 n68403 n68404 n68406 n68405

Some people mentioned that they used the discontinued Roti cradle eagle claws to lift hot grills. I knew that I could do better for this new application. So here is my new design.. they can be twisted either direction, lock in and work very well. n68399 n68400 n68398

Re: MY NEW KK!!! Close the lid.. Heat of course rises and leaves the damper top.. this causes vacuum which sucks air thru the lower draft door. All of this air is forced thru the charcoal. If you want to speed things up, my favorite tool is a cheapo hair drier blasted down onto the charcoal. Your KK does not really need any help with airflow.. Temperature only airflow and fuel. Always remember to shake out last cooks ash and don't dump[ the smalls from the bottom of the bag dead center. This will clog things up.

Getting to the top of this mountain has been a monumental task but Once again.. Komodo Kamado is #2 on Google for Big Green Egg. And I'm lovin' it! :lol: n68388

Re: MY NEW KK!!! You can't screw it up.. there is just the chance of getting a bubble in the insulation/grout. You came thru unscathed. But those lower temp 350-400 cooks do nothing.. The outside does not get hot enough to do anything. It's gotta be 475-500ºf

Re: Short cooking time, runaway temps. Wha' happened? It's best to light the charcoal on the top of the basket because it burns down.. if you light the bottom the new fuel needs to continually tumble down onto the burn. It can actually run out of fuel with a full bowl sitting above it. You really only need to light about a tennis ball to grapefruit volume.. then let it creep up rather than light more and cut it's airflow back to the desired temp.

Re: Everyday Misc Cooking Photos w/ details

Re: Everyday Misc Cooking Photos w/ details Fridge meat.. I smoke up a chicken and pork loin on a regular basis to have the meat in the fridge for snacking and salads.. More Piggy loin for sammies.. This is the third shoulder I've brined with a 3% salt solution in the last two months.. no nitrates. But this time I boiled two big hand-fulls of chipotle with the brine.. gave the ham a great warmth!

Re: Coffee wood impressions Must be all those cigars Mesquite of course has a lot of acid in it and the first smoke is quite bitter but very popular in Texas.. I wonder it their rubs are adjusted with more sugar to balance the acid's bitter flavor? I'm guessing that the very strong smokey taste that mesquite is famous for is from the first smoke not secondary.

Re: Coffee wood impressions And from the land of Mesquite...

Re: Meltique Beef the world's finest larded meat? Well the two modified steaks were warming up on the counter.. I answered the door and gave Alice just enough time to grab both of them and run! She's just about four months old but already 40 lbs and obviously taller than I realized. The first time I saw them and bought them I did not realize what they were. So the feedback on these will need to wait until next time but I'm not as excited about them as I was when I thought they were natural.
