Magnificent_Fubar Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Great spot but next time let the lid open by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Magnificent! And the first minute was a fabulous shameless plug for KOmodo! Dave in his Crocs. Most wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeats Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 yeah, didn't think they were going to show my feet. Thank God I had pants on! So next time, no crocs, and let the lid open by itself--and wear pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I like Crocs. Mine are light blue, and have charms in them. You and your KK were spectaculous!! I thought the you showed the lid opening so easily! But I'm used to Another Manufacturer's lid, which would have required lots of gymnastics, and your tush would have been in the camera shot. Do it all the same next time. xo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisLinkletter Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 TV Spot.. Thanks Dave.. As you know, I grew up with my grandfather and father on TV everyday but having one of my Komodo kids on the air makes me prouder than proud.. I think this is a first for KOmodo.. Does anybody know how to download and save that embedded flash file? Thanks again Dave.. You were great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a 13.1 Mb FLV file in your "Temporary Internet Files" directory you can copy and save it somewhere else... You'll probably need a flv player: http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000 ... d=10814415 Works for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyboy Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Stellar performance Dave!!! GREAT JOB!! I agree with Sanny, we have the same model grill; I too was quite impressed with how easy the lid opened. Had it sprung open by itself I'd of prolly fell out of my chair. You're not doing that with ours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Having both a KK and a K7, I can tell you the operational ease of opening and closing the KK is far superior to the K, not to mention the absence of the unattractive prop tubes. Good job Dave. Oprah could put this on her list of favorite things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobvoeh Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Fantastic Job !!! I can't think of anything you could have done better. You know you did a good job plugging the product when the TV Station Hosts were more interested in the Komodo than they were in the grilling tips you were there to provide! I do have one question though, how the heck did you get it there? My KK is being delivered tomorrow and I'm sweating just having to move it across the grass to the back patio !!!

Don't sweat it Bob! Get yourself a couple sheets of thick plywood and roll it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I rolled mine around the house, to the back patio with the assistance of the driver and a his hand truck. Through St. Augustine grass, some sand and even mulch. I think it was more plowing through the latter two, but it made it to the patio without too much effort before being uncrated. Tip the driver and you wont have any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have th e St. Augustine, no sand, so it sounds doable. Thanks !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeats Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Great work nice clip... How did you get it on site? I took the lid off, and using the 4 harnesses that came with it , my butcher and I loaded it into his cargo van. we secured the wheels with chocks(not chooks) and screwed them into a sheet of plywood on the floor of the van. The network lent us two guys to help unload and reload. As a preface, the day before I participated with a buddy in the 51st DesPlaines River canoe and kayak race( in the noncompetitive category). 19 miles and five plus hours later we finished, came home unloaded the kayak, and I went to work organizing and precooking for the shoot. After Denise, John and I were done, Denise went to lunch(sold a unit to her friend),We unloaded back home, I put Godzilla( the name fits, what a beast) back together and fell asleep in the massage chair. Had a couple of drinks that evening and was semi comatose until making it to bed at 9:30. Today a regimen of 2000units of b12 and Advil, I'm beat!Gotta do this one more time Saturday morning for a 9:00 segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to come back and deliver something else in a couple of days. He got ribs. And home grown tomatoes. Happy, happy man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
