primeats Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Well here it is , thought it went well, the hosts didn't hog the conversation too much! Won't have to lift this guy till this Sat. morning for the NBC spot. http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?sectio ... id=6151448
Magnificent_Fubar Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Great spot but next time let the lid open by itself.
Sanny Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 Magnificent! And the first minute was a fabulous shameless plug for KOmodo! Dave in his Crocs. Most wonderful.
primeats Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report 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.
Sanny Posted May 19, 2008 Report 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
Conodo12 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Dave - I have nothing but praise for that spot - Nice Work!!!
PaulR Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Great work nice clip... How did you get it on site?
DennisLinkletter Posted May 20, 2008 Report 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!
PaulR Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 Re: TV Spot.. I think this is a first for KOmodo.. Does anybody know how to download and save that embedded flash file? 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...
DennisLinkletter Posted May 20, 2008 Report Posted May 20, 2008 On a Mac.. Does anybody know how to download and save that embedded flash file? I forgot the all important bit of info.. On a Mac..of course!
johnnyboy Posted May 20, 2008 Report 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!
trish Posted May 20, 2008 Report 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!

Duk Posted May 20, 2008 Report 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. having 2 #7's and a KK Ultimate there is no contest ---one of my 7s can't open the other has a broken spyder for the top damper a stuck bottom draft door with a broken rail for it and the fire ring has crumbled ----oh yes, they both morphed into texured K's from tiled ones oh well, live and learn
bobvoeh Posted May 20, 2008 Report 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 !!!

Firemonkey Posted May 20, 2008 Report 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

I only have th e St. Augustine, no sand, so it sounds doable. Thanks !!
primeats Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report 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.

I only have th e St. Augustine' date=' no sand, so it sounds doable. Thanks !![/quote'] The first trip, the delivery driver got some dead Presidents. Had to come back and deliver something else in a couple of days. He got ribs. And home grown tomatoes. Happy, happy man!
