jdbower Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Komodo isn't just the name of an Indonesian island, I believe that the origins of the name for the cooker stem from the Komodo Dragon (who, of course, draws its name from the island). Quoting the Wikipedia page: "The Komodo Dragon's loosely articulated jaws, flexible skull, and expandable stomach allows it to eat up to 80 percent of its body weight in one meal. After eating, it drags itself to a sunny spot to speed digestion" From what I've been reading, that pretty much describes a weekend with a KK, eating 80% of your body weight and then sleeping it off in the sun. OK, time for a good old wrist slap - probably would have been better off in the Jokes forum now that I see this is a generic photos forum (I'll get a post up here once my username ages properly, apparently we need to be simmered slowly for a few days so we don't post naughty pictures right away...)

PaulR Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I agree with the origin being the komodo dragon but thought it meant "giant" i.e. komodo dragon - giant dragon... komodo kamado - giant kamado?

Curly Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Re: The REAL reason for the name ...apparently we need to be simmered slowly for a few days so we don't post naughty pictures right away...) I think that was to keep Gerard from posting his weird pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
