Is there a cobalt blue in your future?

I think you're on to something with tamping down the air earlier. Have you noticed if the wind picked up in that 1.5-2 hrs.? Increased air flow across the top can create a vacuum.

The rain won't hurt anything. Make sue you have something to through on while you do the burn in. Don't waste the fuel/heat.

Well that's always good.

@tekobo That looks fantastic! THE BOMB! Those are the same three cuts I use when I grind burgers. I never pack or knead the mince, but the idea of laying it in strands is brilliant. I'm going to have to try that.

Kroil is the bomb! Never heard of Boeshield...have to look for some and give it a try.

Nice!

I thought the same thing. My first thought was, is that Lorena Bobbitt?

Coming together nicely @Basher.

Sounds like you could work in our IT department. IT person - close the application, huh...still didn't work, OK - re-boot your station...NUTS! I'll have to dig into this one. Don't worry we're here to help and remember...We're not happy till your not happy.

Who has the oldest Komodo Kamado? I think Dennis L. has the oldest KK

Welcome to the two KK club!

I'd get her anything she wants!

Nicely done!

Toss me into this group also. I like mine rare enough to be on the endangered species list while she wants hers dead.

Nice looking cook. Did the neighbors come by for a sample?

Nice looking cooker @Wingman505. That little gap is no big deal. Good job with your burn-in.

Couldn't agree more!

I thought winter tomatoes were only used to make ketchup??

Did you hear about the chameleon that couldn't change color? Suffered from reptile dysfunction!

I live on a ranch with ~50 head of cattle and 400+ sheep. All dorper. We eat lots of lamb!

Welcome @Mayor! You're going to love cooking on your KK and friends and family will love you cooking on it. ckreef did an in-depth charcoal comparison. Take a look at his research and see what brands are available in your area.

Putting smiles on faces and food in bellies! Good job!!

Can you leave the lower grate out?
