Re: KK Insurance Dennis: I have no doubt but that you are conscientious to a "T" and that you will insure it to my door. I was thinking ahead. My patio links to a sidewalk and thence to the driveway and to the curb. I read about zomeone's KK being stolen and I am erring on the side of caution. I assume that the average insurance company would balk if presented a claim for z cooker in excess of $4,000.00.

Hey Guys: What have you done re insuring your Kooker? Have you insured yours? I will be ordering mine in a couple of weeks. Altough I live in a secluded subdivision, I am within 15 miles of Baltimore, MD, and I want to insure my Kooker against theft or other mischief. What have you done? Should I be very proactive: contact my agent and ask for a separate rider on the policy? Should I take the minimalist approach: keep the receipt and use it to offer proof of replacement cost? Should I do a third thing? Thanks, Paswesley

I can relate I have been living in our subdivision for about six years now, so the power freaks are not as omnipresent nor obnoxious as they once were. About three years ago, my next door neighbor used a rather brash yet effective means to send them hightailing off his property and out of his business. (He had had the utter temerity to plant a small vegetable garden in his backyard without their foreknowlege and consent.) He listened just long enough to surmise what they wanted. Then he loudly exclaimed that he thought the Gestapo had been disbanded long ago. Undeterred, the unwelcome visitors continued to berate him for planting his garden without their permission. Thereupon, my neighbor straightened to attention and began to bellow, "Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil," as he snapped off one sharp salute after another. His dutiful wife blushed crimson and began to try to hold his arm at his side and cover his mouth with her other hand. I had been maintaining proper decorum on the sidelines until that point in the exchange. However, even my reserve has its limits, and I began to bray my laughter like a donkey! The "Gestapo" beat a hasty retreat as my neighbor continued his salutes, his wife redfacedly trying to shush him. That was the last that we saw of them. Do you think a serving of babyback ribs with a nice salad would have been a more appropriate way to receive those honored guests?

I know what you mean The process that you are describing is also known as dignifying the ridiculous. I am one of the lucky ones. I had not heard of the KK, or of Dennis, and I started out a couple of weeks ago looking at the kamado that you refer to. However, a sixth sense kept warning me that something was amiss, so I began to dig. I asked to join their forum a week ago, and fortunately did not hear (and still have not heard) from them. My with the way that things were going caused me to do a Dogpile,com metasearch, and I lucked into finding komodokamado.com. I was sold in the first three minutes. I intend to get the Gen 2.2 23" Ultimate. I am simply counting up my pennies. I am so glad that I found Dennis and his incredible product!

Thanks Thank you so much for your help. I was sold on the KK as soon as I found Dennis' website. I just wanted to know whether m63 was needed with his kooker. I will ck out that site you linked me to. Paswesley

On another forum, I have seen the praises of this material. It seems to me, an utter novice, that the inner refractory coating of the Komodo Kamados makes this heat resistant coating unnecessary. Also, the vacuum process should eliminate the problem of tiles falling off and the burn-in is not needed. Am I correct in my thinking?

Re Oops Mguerra: I am not sure if my post got through. I was having a middle aged moment, I guess. What I meant to say was a GEN 2.2 Ultimate 23" OTB in pebble tan. I am still learning the jargon. I was surprised at how easy it was to get my wife on board. I guess the quality of the cookers is so apparent that it sold itself. I wound up having to cook my steaks on the stove! I had run out of gas in each of my three tanks. Thanks to my custom rub, the rib eyes weren't ruined, but it was yet another reminder of why I want a cooker so much.

More Anticipation? You guys are so lucky! I am still in the trying to figure out how to pay for it stage. Of course, most of you probably didn't have to go through that stage. I really have my heart set on getting an Ultima II. I am about to go out and cook some steaks on my six year old Nexgrill (Costco model) five burner. I would so rather be imitating what I saw on the Youtube video on a shiny new Kooker! Oh well, "Where there's a will..." BTW: I want to introduce myself. I am Anton, and I go by the name Paswesley. I have been grilling and smoking for over thirty years. I love cooking outdoors and watching people eagerly eat what I put in front of them. I look forward to associating with everyone.
