  1. Yes we found the best material is  AISI 1095 carbon spring steel.  Hard as hell but gets surface rust in minutes..  We then put them in a stretcher to open them up a bit. Then they are rolled, blasted to degrease and remove surface rust.  Now completely clean, they are first electroplated zinc and chromate conversion coated before spraying the inside with a clear ruberized coating.  After 12 years playing with the springs this is the best we've found.

    This is one of my very early OTB grills.. July 2006  It was pre-machined interlocking lip.  The new food grade silicone gasket would not last indefinately on a flat surface.

    Others have said when you get a KK you wished you got it sooner not in my case I'm stoked that I'm getting one now so much improvement not knocking your earlier versions at all just great to be geating one that has been smoothed out and I'm sure once I get mine you will alter it somehow

  2. Awesome news - hopefully it won't travel around the world like Bosco's did. It was almost painful watching Bosco's container tracked on GPS.

    I was involved in a study of weather observations through log books of ships from as early as the 18th Century basically jotting down the weather observations of ships to help science very tedious but it actually gave you the tracking of the ships you were looking at speed wind and where they were heading. But most importantly helped build a graph .so will be good to see.like I said Glad going to Singapore I don't won't my KK anywhere near the south China sea lo given todays verdictl

  3. Not long now spoke with Dennis today Ora should be shipping Wednesday can't remember if it was this Wednesday coming or next week from there it goes to Singapore because it's being sent LCL less container load then it's a matter of time until the container heading for Fremantle gets filled because of Ramadan there is a back log of goodies waiting to be shipped so won't take that long to fill .exciting times ahead

  4. Hey Tony,

    Right now I'm leaning towards a fairly organic, natural locally sourced stone version of something like this, in a semi circle...a KK'S about 6 feet on each side of the chimney, with proper height work space on either side. Simple, but nice brick/stone compass mosaic in the center of an abutting circular patio....possible pergola over whole thing. You'd step down off the deck on increasingly larger split stone grain wheels, onto said patio, walk across to the semi circular wall of grillage and chimney....Lots of fun, hanging lighting etc...

    Working on it...
