Re: Komodo availability - Good & Bad News I have been remiss in getting this posted.. I actually have photos also but today started in the factory in Java and it's 2:30am and I'm back in Bali.. This day included ice skating with my kids for 2 hours at a mall in Surabaya also The new Gen 2.4 Has a longer lower latch with a press plate parallel to the body.. this gives you more leverage to press the bearing over the cam to firmly hold the grill closed and airtight. Has threaded side accessory sleeves and comes with stainless aircraft allen bolts. The earlier Komodos had bolts sticking out of the grill and came with acorn nuts. Has the new extruded capital "D" shaped food grade silicone gasket on the lower CNC milled lip. Has the new knob design with spring loaded airflow control wheel. Has allen bolts instead of the butterfly bolts to hold on the rear stainless spring cover. Has another/second rod support dead center across the bottom of the charcoal basket to prevent sagging after years of cooking. The newest ones have a longer tri-set threaded sleeve to reduce wobbling with the oversized threads in the damper top.

Re: New KK On Its Way To Peterborough Ontario Canada! Welcome to the forum and of course thank you for your purchase.. Novice or not, I assure you will be thrilled with the food you cook.

Re: Tri-Tip

Re: First Brisket Ever I'd say you nailed your first brisket.. Great ring and puddle..

Re: Ultrasound?

Re: Tri-Tip With a Tri Tip remember it's really important to cut the slices across the grain.. Sometimes it's difficult to see after it's cooked so a mental note needs to me made when starting.. Will need much less chewing.. Tri Tip is our standard sandwich meat around the house here.. I add rub in 6% salt and garlic salt by weight.. easiest to do this with a gram scale, then wet with just a bit of olive oil for stickiness add black pepper, and rubbed dry parsley. I smoke it at about 280ºF until it hits 125º and then sear it at 550-700º about a minute each side for marks and flavor. This gives you a very uniform texture/color from top to bottom and an extra boost from the smoke.. This reverse searing works great for thick cuts like this..

Re: Ultrasound?

Re: KK question Here are some photos of the charcoal basket and the lower grill installed. As you can see there is not much room between the charcoal and the wall of the grill. Airflow from the front draft door can make some areas hotter than others especially if you are using small pieces of charcoal.. You can open the rear gas door to balance out the airflow for high temp grilling if you need a larger uniform cooking area. I never do.. in fact I like having a cooler area to hold meat while I'm searing other pieces at high temps. n66890 n66889

Re: Saturday afternoon RIBS Looking good.. That piggy had some big bones.. I just learned of an Italian guy here in Bali who is making cheese in the mountains.. I'm told he has a herd of black and whites and his mozzarella is amazing.. Ensalada caprese here we come!

Re: New owner--First time start up Owner's manual sent or re-sent..

If you're cookin' with wood you're actually cookin' with gas Absolutely.. If you're cookin' with wood you're actually cookin' with gas. In the note accompanying your owner's manual I wrote clearly in caps PLEASE NEVER BURN WOOD IN YOUR COOKER. Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits is the gas inside wood. And when burned with a less than optimal air to fuel ratio you end up with lots of unburned fuel vapor which plain and simply tastes acrid and nasty.. Burning wood also creates creosote which again is just nasty stuff.. That's why I always let the first thick nasty smoke off smoking wood escape before I put my meat in. Creosote will also condense inside your dome and in your chimney.. Not a good thing. That first smoke is also so acrid it burns your eyes.. once the smoke becomes a bit transparent and bluish it no longer burns them..

Can't believe it's been a year since I broke the half century mark.. Can't believe it's almost been 8 years for KK, 5 years for this forum. Time to reflect a bit and give thanks to all of you who have supported me so much over the past few years, especially my amazing forum moderators and regular contributors... There is no way KK would be where it is today without you. KK has broken sales records every month since last November and we passed total sales in 2009 in the first week of May this year. My family is not happy about my spending every week in Surabaya and late nights with coffee online but one needs to cut grass when the sun is shinning. Third world projects take a bit more time than expected but I have lots of exciting products in the pipeline.. and ideas to boot. So once again.. Myself, my family and all the crew at KK would like to thank you all so much for all you support, we are truly blessed to have it.

Re: I want to see one! Heylo Carl, I could not find an Email from you.. I've just sent you an information filled Email.. I also removed your email from your post.. not a good idea. You would eventually be swamped with spam from that.

Re: Komodo availability - Good & Bad News

Re: are cloth awnings over a KK ok? Even with the worst sparking charcoal, anything overhead is definitely safe.. If you use a drip pan, I can't imagine it getting more dirty from smoke than everyday dust and dew. The smallest breeze will completely dissipate the smoke.

Re: Three Extruder Machines are in the House! Absolutely.. We're just fine tuning out gasifier and re-burn retort and the production line is finished.. When it's running and producing uniform high quality product, We'll invest in building larger versions of it all. Thanks for your interest and inquiry.. I'm still shooting for sending out a few tons this month. When all is rolling our current capacity is about 1,600 lbs a day but we can of course run more than one shift..

Re: Three Extruder Machines are in the House! I'll get some photos up on Sunday..It's almost 1am and I'm beat.. Long week at the factory and lots of long nights.. Lovin' the great sales but it's taking it's toll too..

Re: First Cook

Long Story but I've been asked to help sell some early grills from 2007. I was not going to put them up here but as I only have just a few 23" OTBs in inventory and the next container is a few weeks from shipping, I guess it won't hurt. I've offered all of these to an overseas buyer and he's interested and checking on freight costs so if any of these interest you, now's the time.. The window might be very short to move on one..
