Amphoran Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Gerard, Actually, I was a Basidiomycete taxonomist/ecologist. Many fungi are extremely difficult to actually pin down to species, because you have to grow the sexual phase to do that, and how to grow the sexual phase is often unknown. That doesn't seem to be the case with trichophyton, and here's a link to the tests required for a species ID. It may be that these test are so time consuming that they feel that treatment will be over before results would be in. I've got no experience with this type of fungus, though, so I'm *speculating enthusiastically*. http://www.doctorfungus.org/thefungi/Trichophyton.htm Mike
gerard Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 ... http://www.doctorfungus.org/thefungi/Trichophyton.htm Mike Mike, I had forgotten all about the doctorfungus website. Thanks. It's an excellent source. Kinda backs up my notion that their claim that pcr was necessary was absurd. I'm done hijacking this thread. Back to 19.5" OTBs.
Sanny Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 ROFLMAO, Sanny! As a former mycologist, I really SHOULD know my molds.... See? There you go. A resident expert. Tadaaah!
Saucier Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Fungi I like porcini mushrooms, does that count ?
Amphoran Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 For year-in, year-out all around eating pleasure, I find it very hard to beat chanterelles. Unfortunately, they've gotten too popular, and spots where I used to be able to go and reliably pick 10-20 pounds are often swept clean ( They grill up really nicely!

Amphoran Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Yes, Chanterelles are one of the safest mushrooms to send a neophyte out after. They have a unique body structure, a pretty unique color, and grow in pretty specific types of locations. One of the things that make them easy is that they have low ridges, rather than gills, running down their outside. If you study the difference, you really can't go wrong.

swalatee79 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 19.5" Dimensions. Dennis: These side by side pictures are very helpful. Still looking forward to getting the full set of dimensions a-la "OTB Dimensions" posting. My BBQ Wet bar is under construction right now, and I want to make sure the eventual upgrade from my Imperial Kamado to this new 19.5" KO-KA OTB can occur with no problem when it becomes available. Using your side by side pictures I have estimated the critical dimensions that I need to confirm with you are accurate, at this stage of my construction. Overall Height of 19.5" Model without base & Wheels = 38" (Floor to damper top) Floor to Lip without base & wheels = 23" The final critical dimension I will need is B (Front edge to opened damper top) which is 40" in the case of the larger OTB. I hope this dimension in the case of the 19.5" model will be <=36".

johnnyboy Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Sheeze Louize I missed this thread What the heck we begging for a smaller size in the other thread for. Looks like it's nearly here. Whooo-Hooooo. Yes Sanny; I'll get right on designing that cover! I have a feeling you and I will both want one..........
DennisLinkletter Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Posted May 23, 2008 The mold is finished.. Yes, I made the base a bit wider.. I'm very pleased.. I think it's great!
Conodo12 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Toooo Sweeeet!!! That wider base is going to provide for two great features that I can think of immediately: 1) A better center of gravity. No chance of this guy tipping over! Very stable! 2) More FUEL!! Who doesn't want longer cooks?!?!?! Awesome work Dennis! I cannot wait to see a finished 19.5" OTB. These will be on apartment decks everywhere!!
TheNakedWhiz Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Of course, I'll be needing one with all the bells and whistles to do a review, LOL!
tkline01 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Since Texas has such HOT summers you'll probably want to send me one to "stress" test and make sure the new design can handle it!!
johnnyboy Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 You know; come to think of it. I'm out here in the frigid midwest where temps hit the negative double digits, w/o wind chill factored in. Of course I don't know if wind chill effects material things or not, but still I think right here could be a pretty good darn test site too!
PaulR Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Nah those are good reasons but unfortunately I need one for research asap since a great medium sized KK would crack open the market here. Strangely enough most antipods don't seem to go for a normal sized KK.
primeats Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Well it WOULD be easier to bring down to the studios for a screen test!, I could even put this in the back of my wrangler! I guess there just might be a market for this size after all, who'd a thunk it?
DennisLinkletter Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 New Peek... 3/8" Main Grill The 3/8" looks really beefy in the smaller body.. I'll I said was, SAH-WEET!
