Firemonkey Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 My journey has come full circle. From my first post on this board, just about a year ago, to counting days until the big truck rolls up and delivers my grill. I started the journey as a pretty critical observer: http://www.komodokamado.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=261&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 In the end I could not find any argument not to make the most powerful endorsement of all - the kind that requires you to open your wallet This little gem is floating its way across the pacific, destined for my patio:
Sanny Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 Stunning! Beautiful, Firemonkey! You chose a gem. Keep us posted on it's progress across the seas.
ThreeDJ16 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 I cannot believe he didn't get pink? -=Jasen=-
Firemonkey Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Posted May 10, 2007 You know, I honestly almost brought one of my EIGHT replacement tiles that came with my Mexi-K to Columbia with me. That way you could see it first hand as BROWN, and I could make you come on here and denounce all of this colorshifting once and for all! Then I decided I could not spare even one tile, since that POS will eventually be dropping them by the hundreds. You will have to come to FL to see it in its natural habitat, and appreciate its color

I never met you for dinner? hehe Deny everything, admit to nothing!!! hehe FYI, I would still say it is pink - hahahaha! -=Jasen=-
PaulR Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 Great pictures, I think mine is a bit younger than the ones you guys got.. Are both of them in the same consignment on the same ship? I'm bugging Dennis for pictures but reckon mine is still in the building stage...
Firemonkey Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Posted May 11, 2007 Are both of them in the same consignment on the same ship? I hope not, since ours on on the way to California! That may be a little bit out of the way or yours
PaulR Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 Oops, I meant yours and Jasen's!! Mine is not ready to be shipped just yet....(i.e. not finished!) And yup different boats I would think...........
Firemonkey Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Posted May 11, 2007 Yep...They are traveling in a Posse' with one or two others. That way they can throw their weight around in case they come across any Mexi-Ks en route. Oops...What amI thinking....I keep forgetting that K is is the deposit taking business, not the production or service business
PaulR Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 Dang, and I had high hopes to get my KK before Jasen (I procrastinated just a bit too long) on the other hand had I ordered sooner the Gen 2 wouldn't have been around! Love my KK...
Firemonkey Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Posted May 12, 2007 You still have a chance...Your boat ride will be much shorter! We will also have a delay in customs, and a 3000 mile truck ride before we see a grill
PaulR Posted May 12, 2007 Report Posted May 12, 2007 Maybe, but if I were a betting man, the money would be on your KK's. Australian customs are at times a pain in the behind! Anyway at least I know that 1 KK made it into Oz last year...so I'll be number 2 (I try harder!). We'll see, as soon as Dennis send me the pictures of my boy all bundled up I'll post them!

From my first post on this board' date=' just about a year ago, to counting days until the big truck rolls up and delivers my grill.[/quote'] That is a real beauty!! Congratulations! Your K is going to experience some serious self-confidence issues when that baby rolls into town. On a side note, has anyone in the FL lump co-op epressed an interest in a new pallet?
Firemonkey Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Posted May 14, 2007 I touched base with the guy who took 10 bags a week or so ago. He will be ready when we are. I still have about 100# - What do you have left? Do you remember who you shared a bag with in case they liked it? We can probably put a deal together with a weeks notice. Its always in the warehouse, and we have our players in order. Just let me know. If anyone else is interested in Lazarri mesquite lump for $12/bag (40#) in the central Florida area, let us know.

I am down to about 60 lbs. and am good for up to 10 bags whenever the trigger man pulls. "billwelan" was the other KK owner here in the Tampa area that bought some of the last batch. If you have your Ultimate by the time we do another pickup, there will be a need for bibs because of the drooling!
PaulR Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 Just curious how much would you pay for a pallet of charcoal??
Firemonkey Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Posted May 14, 2007 we are currently paying US$299 for a 1000 pound pallet. Are you asking because you are trying to find a good local deal, or because you want to make a deal?
PaulR Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 Trying to find a good local deal (charcoal cost a fortune here by the bag and...... all we seem to have is briquettes... ). I don't even want to think how much it would cost me to ship a pallet from the US to Oz!!!
Firemonkey Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Posted May 14, 2007 More than the coal itself! Do some homework. Being in the South Pacific, you may be able to find the coconut stuff fairly cheap (extruded or not). Maybe you should prod Dennis a bit to get his charcoal operation ramped up.
PaulR Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 I have done several searches on the .com.au search engines...no joy. Maybe they] Ozzie charcoal suppliers are not on the net? Although we're in the south pacific Oz is a fair way off from most of the other places around here... I'll ask the local chicken BBQ place where they get their charcoal... Dennis, are you going to produce charcoal in commercial quantities?
