onegrill now has a 220v 50hz motor Joe at onegrill just wrote and said he now has a 220v 50hz motor. Please confirm rotation before you order.. You want it to turn ccw (counter clock wise) if you were looking at the square drive--which would be CW looking at the back.

Hey Dennis, have you ever figured out.....
DennisLinkletter replied to cruzmisl's topic in Komodo General
Re: Hey Dennis, have you ever figured out..... You would also save a fortune by not having to ship the cookers over here. But, even then, I can't imagine the numbers would come close to working. 160 hours per cooker? Wow. The shipping runs about 10% of the cost.. so not actually a factor.. That's 160 not including the hours for the CNC cut, folded and tig welded stainless that's outsourced. When I first saw the hour figure it was 140 and I insisted it must be wrong or people were fudging on the piecework times to get more money.. But I've personally watched and done a time study on every process and every component and the numbers add up correctly.. That 160 also does not include the hours of the 3 managers who keep busy also.. Can't argue with results.. -
So what going on the grill to celebrate the 4th?

Sai has actually graduated to Rare Tri Tip! Sai has actually graduated to Rare Tri Tip! And loving it.. secret is in the reverse sear giving a uniform, more firm texture to the meat and much less bloody juice. When I brought it up "after" she had been eating it for a week, she said I had tricked her into liking it! Trick worked.. she's still eating it. I now always keep a tupperware full of thin sliced Tri Tip for snacking, salads and my staple roast beef sandwiches... -
Hand Hammered Copper Cooker..
DennisLinkletter replied to DennisLinkletter's topic in KK Announcements
Happiness does impart better flavors! I'm confidant that food would taste better on a hand hammered Komodo.. We had about 6 different people say they could and fail miserably.. We heard about this old guy but he lives in the middle of nowhere about 6 hours from the factory and can not be motivated to move to the big city.. so he sits in his lil' shop and fixes old pots. He said with the spike in copper prices nobody ever orders copper pots from him. Making this top took three trips and the edge does not line up with the lip of the KK. I recently asked my office to look for a new craftsman restart the ball rolling.. -
Hey Dennis, have you ever figured out.....
DennisLinkletter replied to cruzmisl's topic in Komodo General
Re: Hey Dennis, have you ever figured out..... Not even worth starting the calculation.. With the relatively small production we have just paying the factory overhead and office staff in the States would make it a no go. We're running about 160 in factory hours per KK and that does not include the outsourced CNC metalwork/labor. This of course would make it a no go too... But I'd save a fortune by not having to import the high tech grout material. -

changing from propane to natural gas

KK gas burner comes with two jets.. one for each gas My KK gas burner comes with two jets.. one for each gas but I do my best to talk people out of using the burner to light charcoal for anything other than high temp grilling or baking.. -
Slick move.. What I am dying to know is how did you get the wife to settle for a Focus or a loaded Fiesta... Was this before or after you bought the Harley?

Outside-The-Box As the shape is completely revolutionary and a product of Outside-The-Box thinking — thus the OTB design designation. But Only The Best works for me too..

Re: Baconnaise I've made up a couple of different Bacon Mayo's and they are all GREAT! From a subtle hint of flavor in a simple haas avocado sandwich to lots of flavor on waffles with maple syrup.. This will be in stores one day!

Re: My Cheapo hair drier... Coleman (I think it's Coleman) makes a unit to refill the blue bottles from a reg propane tank. Have seen them in Wally World. I think Ace may also carry them. Look Here: http://www.navagear.com/2008/04/refill- ... cylinders/ Great thanks.. Ordered one.. Will be happy to have gas again..

My Cheapo hair drier... A while back Ace hardware here in Bali stopped importing the traditional blue propane bottles.. Argh.. I though my life was over. I reluctantly bought some of those lil' wax starters.. I break them in two or three pieces light one and toss them into a lil hole in the charcoal and stack some lil pieces over it. I wait a few impatient minutes and then hit it with the hairdryer.. it glows madly and immediately lights all the charcoal around it.. It can also be a life saver when you have shut down your airflow too long dropping temps and need to get some barely burning charcoal going again.. The secret is to move the airflow slowly into the KK.. This prevents ashes from flying too much.. you can also blow out of the KK any ash you stir up.. Oh and it also brings out the 10 year old pyromanic in you..

Must have been a cold morning! Must have been a cold morning! LOL -
At high temps all the volatiles have been burned off Remember that once a bowl has been raging at high temps all the volatiles have been burned off and there is no longer any smoke or smokey flavor. Great time for bread, pizza or vegetables.. Also a good way to use lousy charcoal.. Crank it up and shut it down.

This article sums up the shipping problems I've been having recently from having my "Discharged" in Kobe and NYK not accepting charcoal. Basically when demand for freight dropped, carriers cut capacity.
