And you got tiles, they cook way better than the pebbles

Welcome to the club

I believe they stopped attaching the lids a year or two ago to save on the cost of shipping ?

@Chief Mine came pre assembled but I would suggest offering a strong friend or two some chicken if they help put the lid on

I go around 250 and will spritz two or three hours in and rearrange them to make sure they are cooking even. And i do wrap for the last hour in foil with honey, butter, brown sugar and a little spritz of red wine vinegar. I've switched from apple cider to red wine vinegar. The length of the cook depends on the size of the racks, i like to cook 3 pound + racks of baby backs so it can take me up to 6 hours.

@Dianei Dennis says it can be fixed, go grab it 👍

That chicken looks fantastic !!!

This is the one that would really worry me, but I’m not an expert

There is a crack in the firebox and it looks like there is more extensive damage to the grill. It is not simply regrouping some tIles from what I can see. Here are the rest of the pictures

Prior to the final sear I rub the venison with butter to get the proper sear, if not the surface can be dry and scorch a little 😀

A friend brought me a big beautiful venison steak so I seasoned it last night and let it sit in the fridge overnight wrapped in butcher paper. I decided to reverse sear just as I would a beef steak but pulled it at a lower temp as it tends to carry over a little more. So I pulled it off at 106 and it carried over to 115, exactly where I wanted it. I let it rest for 20 minutes and got the KK ready to sear. More than happy with the end result, so moist and tender.

That looks like it has some serious damage, the firebox is cracked and in the pic with the lid up it looks like there is a crack between the layers. It’s too bad cause it’s only about an hour from me.

Where's the beef !!!!!! Sorry, i couldn't help it 🤣

The best way to get Dennis is to just give him a call 👍

And it’s beautiful to look at 😁

This video does a decent job of explaining it, the first 3 minutes is all you need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I_EUN5Txls

That's a beauty !!!!!

And this one has a nice video on the second page, i know this isn't a venting issue but the repair is the same, best of luck, it's a beauty !!!!! https://komodokamadoforum.com/topic/10768-burn-in-curing-venting-tips-and-tricks/page/2/

There is another thread on here somewhere that recommends a syringe of grout you can get off of Amazon to fill that crack. Just get it nice and warm and fill it and you should be good to go. No different that what most do after the initial venting. And i'd recommend getting the proper cover and keep it covered at all times while you are waiting to fix that grout. You don't want water getting in that crack and destroying the tile jacket. I wouldn't worry about using green grout, back there you'll never notice it. I'll see if i can find that other thread Edit: https://komodokamadoforum.com/topic/10673-fairly-significant-tears-in-grout/#comment-143535

This should hold me over for awhile

For just adding additional wood to an existing low and slow cook you can just utilize the hinge on the top grate, fold it back and drop in an extra chunk or two.

Even with that price increase they are still worth every penny. It is the last cooker anyone should ever need.

@tekobo I wish I was your neighbor from Mexico lol

YUM !!!

It’s hitting the foil and burning, use a drip pan
