  1. Re: Pipe Size Info & Orifice Chart (for NG conversion) Your burner came with two jets.. the one installed is for the LPG and the one included for natural gas. Just swap them out. The jets are small brass plugs drilled out. I can have the factory look up the hole size if you have lost them. If you unscrew the brass fitting from the cast iron burner you will expose the small jet. Only that needs to be changed.
  2. As you can imagine I'm loving the press these days.. Here is an interview on Kingsford's new Grilling.com INTRODUCTION TO THE KOMODO KAMADO
  3. Re: Dome Thermometer Spring Please take a peek at the thermometer stem on the inside.. the last 1" (or about) has a small groove in it. It is in this area that does all the work. You want to leave a little distance between this area and the heat soaked hot face to get an accurate reading.
  4. Heylo All, Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I flew to Thailand last week with Sai and the kids. It's school holidays in Indo and so this is a great time for the lil' ones to visit family in the Land of Smiles.. I'm still online everyday but my Skype connection is spotty at times. The first container has now cleared customs but for some reason has not yet been custom released. It should be in the warehouse any second now and be on a truck out to you.. All I can say is that ALL the food is is SOOO GOOD! I really miss it here.
  5. Re: Nearly Ran out of Coals during overnight cook Sometimes some ash gets into the draft door frame and causes a leak.. Maybe the latch not fully closed. Rear door? There is a little door on the stoker that can stick in the open position (or so I'm told) My pleasure.. But I'm guessing you might have had a much hotter cook from the new settings after you left.. If I had a dollar for how many times I changed the settings what I thought was a little.. got impatient and opened it up a bit more before walking away and came back to a much too hot grill... Glad you are enjoying your KK.. My last dollar bet... The culprit here is extra airflow causing a much hotter burn..
  6. Can NOT go thru a basket on a 13 hours cook.. You did NOT go thru a basket on a 13 hours cook at mostly 230 to 240 degrees. Impossible. My guess is that you did not shut it down properly. A door must have been left open or the Stoker door stuck open/air was getting in and it burned thru the fuel. I'm sorry no lesson for you here.. at least in regards to size of your fuel.. If you start with a full bowl of charcoal.. unless it's from balsa wood. (super lightweight). You will never run out.. As is documented on this forum.. 16lbs of charcoal at 235º will last about 85 hours. You are burning a very small volume of fuel to maintain these low and slow temps..
  7. Re: Delivery tomorrow Argh.. That's like Santa calling last minute and putting off Christmas!
  8. Re: Bison So what did you decide on the bison? I googled it and from what I've read it's worth cooking.
  9. Re: Delivery tomorrow Congrats.. Looking forward to your delivery and first cook..
  10. Re: What was my daughter thinking? Someone probably should have bought him a grill that does not require assembly..

  12. Re: Parts for old Komodo Kamado Hello, welcome to the forum.. KOmodo Kamado will turn 8 in August so it must be what I refer to as a second choice Kamado. These are all listed in the links area of this forum. When you look at a KK you will see they are clearly not competition nor should KK have any qualms with people trying to make comparisons. Good luck with your search to repair your grill.. We welcome everybody here regardless what they are cooking on. Feel free to discuss any grill here.. although you may just get chuckles.. My favorite quote is that KK makes the other grills look like Tonka Toys..
  13. Re: July 4th Weekend Pork Butt Looks good.. Been too long since I've done one. Any reason why you did this on the upper grill?
  14. Re: Where is everyone? Cook and post something While filets are very tender for additional flavor I'd suggest the last minute sear because they can be lacking in flavor. The browning creates entirely new set of flavors through caramelization and the Maillard reaction.
  15. Re: Three Extruder Machines are in the House! There have been a few small setbacks but I'm still pleased with where we are.. There is of course a learning curve here. I have the material where we need it to be at 4% ash The next problem was keeping the density where we need it.. Long story short this led to special electrodes and our needing to get a 500amp arch welder. We now have both the density and high carbon content we were looking for.. Now we're just making charcoal working at the tonnage we need to ship..
  16. Re: Tri-Tip Try the reverse sear.. It's the easiest way to get consistent results.
  17. Re: Posting Photos I have a telepathic solution in the works for you.. As long as you are not a slow thinker.. it will be up in the required 1 second.
  18. Keeping it simple... Here is a MUCH simpler way.. This is all instant if safari, mail and iphoto is open. Selected the photo in iPhoto, click email, choose medium image appears in Email drag image to desktop or folder click "upload attachment" in KK forum, click upload attachment, clicked "choose File", click the photo, and presto your picture in the post..

  22. 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.
  23. 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.
