Re: Tel-Tru thermometers... Now Standard! ahhhh man!!! so the guys, like me, that bought supremes in May and got Delivery last week are left out pooo K

can anyone else see the pictures I posted INLINE All, I just linked to this message from within my email and I can't see the pictures I put in line. this has happened to other folks posts too..anyone else...is there something i'm doing wrong? K

Re: heavy ahhh, that was fun I uncrated the top portion of the crate, took the lid off, took the stuff out from inside, put the crate back together..wow that was a decrease in weigth itself). I then took two 6ft lengths of 2x4 and nailed/screwd one at the front of the crate, and another at the back of the crate...both at truck bed rail height. I then took two ratchet straps and criss crossed them under the crate and attached the other end to the 2x4 section sticking out (this is very important as crates should be lifted from the BOTTOM...not the sides. Now I had 4 long handles sticking out to the side of the truck. I then got 3 other guys and my wife. The 3 others and myself lifted the unit using the 2x4's while my wife drove the truck out from under it later, K

PICS!!! Rather than continue to hijack this thread, I updated my old one: http://www.komodokamado.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2788#2788 later, K

Here she is!!!! Some of you know that I didn't want to open the crate since I will be moving soon and thought the legs may break off during the move (heard stories about the other K). Well...I was getting antsy (and a bit of pear pressure from some of you!!) to use it, so a call to Dennis was in order. He explained that the legs are reinforced with rebar and that I shouldn't worry about them splitting/breaking off So here she goes!!!... Most pics are on my website ...will take more as it gets used..here are few samples Can't open the top yet, missing 6 bolts...one call to Dennis and they are on their way. Here she is on her first day home: Here's where I used a circular saw to just rip down the sides of the crate for a quick open, without hassling to use a prybar and hammer...plus very little nails sticking out this way Here's a good size comparison. That toolchest is 5'3" tall. Here's just an artsy fartsy angle shot (with better lighting) with two of my most beloved toys..tools and grill. ...hmmm, possibly new Avitar photo To allow me (wife no good at this stuff...and too late to call neighbors) to roll the unit off the crate, I hammered out one side of the pallet legs and created a 'ramp' of sorts to carefully slide the unit down. Be careful, the center block tends to slide with it later..time for bed so that I can start dreaming of my first use this weekend!!! Kumar

Re: Post pics of your repair I received my OTB last week. I talked to Dennis about the neck piece popping out (did on mine too, but luckily no tile damage). I think it's a product of the black foam pad compressing during shippment...thus with the twisting of the crate creates enough of a gap to pop the neck out. Only issue besides that one with my delivery was that my OTB was missing 3 bolts on the lid (a new step in QC coming per Dennis)...not major bolts..as 2 were already there and holding the lid on just fine. Great experience overall...Dennis is the man! now let's get that lump charcoal vaccuumed up and start the shipping! K

Re: Teak flooring.. I'm currently searching for a home in the greater Denver area...I will definitly keep this in mind...it looks really nice...I assume your price was per square foot? Kumar

curios...what's the cost for materials on something like this? are they pre-finished or doe sit require some sort of special finishing once installed? thanks! Kumar

Re: Thanks for the comprehensive answer. Actually that weight range did not include the top, i.e., that 253-278 range is for the main body and the base and wheels. oops...i knew I posted to quickly k

Re: Dang Dennis is very accommodating, I have first hand experience. My KK is on the water as I type!!! K

Re: Thanks for the comprehensive answer. actually, more like 188. the top can come off...dennis provides a 19mm socket to unhook the spring lid spring. k

Re: 2 more construction questions I remember seeing the post, but taking the base of takes some doing...it's not super hard, but probably not needed. the KK's come with handy carrying ropes...so a few buddies and you shoudl be able to carry it. K (My initial)

Re: CNC laser cut name in plate what would be cool is for you to offer your current owners a bolt on badge when you finalize the design ... free of course

Re: Packaging Suggestion I think I've seen something like this at the UPS distro center. it was really cool. Basically they pulled a random length of plastic bag from this machine, once it was at length/size they wanted they would push a button, it would then seal the other end of the bag, insert the chemical in liquid form, then they would quickly pack my box with it, and VOILA...the foam expanded inside the trash bag to hug my part perfectly. Not sure the technical details, and i'm sure I have part of it wrong, but it's the general idea

Wow, mfg was quick! I emailed Dennis last nite to see if you he could take some pics of my OTB being manufactured, but he said that it was already done and ready for packing. Said he would get some pics of it in the crate before it leaves. Folks ,this is only 6 days after I ordered the unit!!!...that is quick. Great service so far!! will keep you posted once it arrives (hopefully in one piece). Dennis, are you using the new packing techniques mentioned somewhere on this board? K

Well after Dennis so thoughtfully replied to all my bazillion emails, after the web forum went down and back up, and after the follow up support from Dennis, I now am the FUTURE proud owner of a Supreme OTB. Placed the order today...will post pics when it arrives Later, K

That's some nice work. Can we get pics of your Supreme vs Deluxe at a detailed view such as this? awesome work! K

I would be interested in this unit as well...let us know if/how it will fit! k
