DennisLinkletter Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Here it is the first stages of my new 19.5" OTB New lower standing next to it's big brother.. Measure your KK as you wish, I choose to measure my Komodos like a monitor diagonally front to rear. As you can see this new Komodo is a 19.5 And big brother is 23"
Sanny Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 You made that for me!!! YAY! Just what I was wanting - a slightly smaller one than the beautiful big one. SMOOOOCH!! I'll add it to my dream list.
primeats Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Looks great Dennis, just what folks are asking for , something a little smaller. What does the production time look like?
DennisLinkletter Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Posted January 23, 2008 Please don't ask when! Looks great Dennis' date=' just what folks are asking for , something a little smaller.

For me it just needs to be perfect and ready for BBQ season later this spring..
trish Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 I don't even like the word committment....I call it the 'C' word
primeats Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 I understand, we are of the same brotherhood .Anywhoo, I'm sure it will be another masterpiece in the KK tradition! Actually this might be a nice size to conceal a propane tank, what do you think?
TheNakedWhiz Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 The sliderule wasn't used for the prediction that textured will be less. That prediction was based on the fact that customers are simply going to expect it to be less. Frankly, if I were a potential customer and if money were no object, I wouldn't even consider the textured model. The tiling is just too attractive to pass up for me. But then, people expect plain paper to cost more than ruled paper because you have the added expense of erasing all the lines!
DennisLinkletter Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Posted January 24, 2008 Second Peek.. 19.5" OTB She's coming together.. still needs some fine tuning but the essence is there.
Sanny Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Sexy! Nice curves. Now, let's get Johnnyboy working on the jammies!
trish Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 A chip off the old block. .......Me and mini me.
Sanny Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 A chip off the old block. .......Me and mini me. Um, I think more like "midi" me. I think the mini look is only in comparison. That's no small cooker!
DennisLinkletter Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 Progress Report Legs are not what I want them to be but it's fun to share the progress with you..
Sanny Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Well, Dennis, my legs are not all I'd want them to be, either. But they do just fine. Your cooker is spectaculous!! Does one launch a new cooker with a bottle of champagne, as one does a battleship? I wonder what the appropriate "new baby" gift is for a cooker. It's obvious this one is a "she," with those beautiful curves.
jdbower Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 What? Dennis not happy with one of his creations and then going about fixing it rather than launch something he's not happy with? Great progress, I for one would love a matched set. Sanny, you launch a new cooker by throwing a FoodSaver full of pulled pork at it!
TheNakedWhiz Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Personally, I launch a new cooker with a flashback. At least that is how I christened my first cooker, LOL.
Sanny Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Personally' date=' I launch a new cooker with a flashback. At least that is how I christened my first cooker, LOL.[/quote'] Nah. Too much collateral damage. My eyelashes only just grew back! lol
Farmer John Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 I for one really appreciate you sharing the process with us. I find it truly amazing what you go through in design and production. Keep sharing! You know we still need a true baby one that is around 100# so we can take it camping with us. I just hate that I have to cook on anything different! John
Sanny Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 ...You know we still need a true baby one that is around 100# so we can take it camping with us. I just hate that I have to cook on anything different! John That's, what, about the size of a lunch box? You're right - it's fun to watch the baby before it's born.
Professor Salt Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 You know we still need a true baby one that is around 100# so we can take it camping with us. I just hate that I have to cook on anything different! John Here, here. A portable one (or one that comes apart in horizontal ring sections) would be great.
