Re: Stoker Enclosure Why of course.. Who wouldn't!

KK has the largest standard grilling area of any ceramic on the market.. 23" KK OTB Main 375 sq" + Lower 329 sq" + Upper Sear 274 sq" total 978 sq" and of course it's all 3/8" 304 Stainless Steel

Re: Boneless Beef Short Ribs Looks great.. I see very well marbled beef ribs here thinly sliced for shabu shabu.. and getting top dollar for them. There is a lot of junk that needs breaking down but it adds to the overall moisture of the meat when finished. They make great sandwiches the next day also.. Thank you for documenting the cook for us..

Re: Komodo availability - Good & Bad News Update: May 1st 2011 The latest container ETA May 7th has only these 3 of 24 unsold. The situation will not be getting any better as we come into traditional grilling season. As many of you have seen, if you see something you like best to not sit on the fence because it will be gone. My next container has a target ETA Los Angeles of the third week in June. These are the tiles we have in inventory in Indonesia and the ones with an asterisk will be built for inventory.. If you have your heart set on a KK for the summer, now is the time to contact me..

Re: Three Extruder Machines are in the House! The extruders I purchased actually have a cutter with a photoelectric sensors but I'm guessing well be doing it manually.. To much to go wrong with the sensors.. we'll see. When the charcoal comes out of the extruder it can be easily broken by just lowering the charcoal support..

Teaser.. Please excuse my being remiss about posting teasers.. Argh.. Nothing has been easy on this project.. the charcoal produced by the extruders was not dense enough to carry the Komodo Kamado name.. so I cut them up and rebuilt them with new extruder screws flown in from Thailand. But the end result is absolutely the most beautiful extruded charcoal I've ever seen.. What ya think?

My family and the crew at KOmodo Kamado would like to wish you all a Happy Easter.. Took the kids on their first big egg hunt.. Lots of announcements coming soon.. KK's has had a great 6 months and is having a stellar year.. Thanks to all..

Re: High Temp Brisket I'd say you nailed it.. I really like that rub also.. The fresh cardamom from World Spice in Seattle is much more aromatic than any cardamom I've ever run across..

Re: Komodo availability - Good & Bad News You got that right doc! Trish! Long time no see.. Nice to see you dropping in..

Re: Annoying Feature I've never seen this message.. And can't find it in the Admin. but I have posted rather lengthy replies only to later see that someone else answered before me and said the same thing.. in hindsight it looked lame, like I read what they said and parroted it.. Wish I would have seen the notice that day.. I did go back and edit the redundancy out of my post..

Re: Uneven Burn of Coals Yes, I'd light the charcoal dead center.. and only about a cup in volume.

Re: First Pork Shoulder Looks great.. Time to cook another butt.. I'm dying to hear details on the controller..

Re: Uneven Burn of Coals I've talked to him on the phone about this so this answer is for the forum. You are burning only about a tennis ball volume of charcoal for a 250º cook. If you light it on the left it will stay on the left and burn down.. The mistake made here was all cooking that is not grilling needs to be indirect, this means you need to use a heat deflector or the drip pan as a shield. What happened with lighting it on the left is you created a hot zone above the burning coals and by accident a relatively indirect zone on the other side. The hot zone ribs were overcooked the others were not.. Lucky you did not light the middle you would have over cooked them all .. You might have lit more coals but there was not enough airflow at 250º to keep them burning.. the coals on the left side won the battle.. could have been larger coals there and a bunch of smalls from the bag cut off airflow on the right.. but for whatever reason the left side won the air battle. No reason to ever feel stupid unless you make the same mistake twice of course! Not using the heat deflector is a common mistake.. You'll nail it next cook.. At least you had two good racks, next time they will be incredible..
