Hephaestus Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Happy happy happy, After a long wait, (nothing to do with Dennis) it finally arrived last week. What a thing of beauty. The quality and workmanship is simply amazing. You simply do not realize how big this cooker is from the net. Thanks to many members, taking the crate apart was well a piece of cake. I did some sausages yesterday and a pork roast with cherry chips this afternoon. it took a little longer than i would have liked but I will get used to it. What a beauty to see it smoke away. Tomorrow Monday we don't work up here in Canada it is going to be chicken rotisserie.
Conodo12 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Congratulations on the delivery - you will be surprised again and again with how well built the KK is and the food that YOU make! Post some pics of that new beast soon!
Hephaestus Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Posted May 27, 2010 Thank you Conodo12, i will post some pictures on the weekend. By the way I see you are from Philly. Are you a fliers fan? If yes congratulation
Duk Posted June 6, 2010 Report Posted June 6, 2010 very nice--Dennis came out with that design after I got mine--That is one of my favs.
Conodo12 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Great pic! I really like that pebble look - great alternative to the regular tile (although both look great!) Yupper - I root for the Flyers - did more yelling AT them tonight - Let's see what happens this Wednesday!
Hephaestus Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Posted June 9, 2010 Thank you guys. It doesn't of course just look great it also cooks a storm. I will post some cooking pictures on the week end. I wish you good luck Conodo12 with you Flyers. I hope you understand I could not root for them. Not after they eliminated our Canadiens
LarryR Posted June 9, 2010 Report Posted June 9, 2010 Avatar Beautiful cooker and welcome! I like your avatar, I named my cooker Hestia, thinking maybe I should change my avatar, hmmm
LarryR Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 Getting action from your pictures Hephaestus, I like your photos, each time I click on them I get a pop-up from some gal who lives in my area that's horny and wants to talk to me. I've never gotten this much action in my life

Loquitur Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 So that's where those ads are coming from??? They pop up right in the lower corner of my screen. Are they emails? I haven't seen them in my mailbox. I might not mind as much if there were some hot guys inviting me over. Susan
Conodo12 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 Here is our back yard set-up That is an impressive array of cookers Heph! I know the Napolean series gas grills and of course recognize the Grill Dome. I would be curious to hear your first-hand account of differences between the Grill Dome and the KK - both pro's and con's of each...
mguerra Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 me too Glad you asked Conodo, I asked the same question in a private message so as not to bring up Grill Dome on the forum, even though Dennis doesn't mind. I thought about getting one as a secondary backup to the Bronze Behemoth.
Conodo12 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Posted June 14, 2010 Doc - I wasn't worried about posting the question only because of the open door policy that Dennis invites on the forum. Heck, if our posts were subject to censorship, I (and many others) wouldn't be here! Alas, we don't have to worry about that. As for getting some of the differences between the two cookers - my sense is that at the end of the day, it will prove to bolster sales of the KK. Let's face it - Heph has good taste in cookers. If he felt that the GD was the end all be all, he would not have stepped up to the Komodo Kamado!
Firemonkey Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 I find it interesting that he had a grill dome, but still decided he needed a KK. So I am also intrigued to hear the comparison of the two, and what prompted the addition of a KK to the lineup?
Hephaestus Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Posted June 15, 2010 Let me make something clear. I have no idea how these pop ups came about. They started appearing when I started up loading the pics I also get them now every time I click on them. Even though it does not appear to be a problem to many of our fellow members I will ask our computer guy Pedro to eliminate them. Any suggestions on how do this????? I will post my comments on the two cookers another time.
DennisLinkletter Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 Komodos are not for everybody I of course never mind comparisons.. nor am I ever threatened by a glazed Pot with simple straps and grills outshining my multi layer body and 82 lbs of 304 stainless.. Actually not fair to compare the two.. Komodos are not for everybody any more than performance sports cars are.. but for those enthusiasts who can't live without cooking on charcoal and can afford them, a Komodo can't be beat.. They may be expensive but they are a great value if you look at what you're actually getting for you money.. much more bang for your buck if you compare them to any of the other ceramics.. But then again, there is no way I could ever be objective. Every parent loves his kids.. I think if I was to buy one of the "other" ceramics I'd lean towards the Primo..
mguerra Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 freedom They have some seriously obsessed thought police over on the Primo forums! Reference another cooker, or put a link in your post to some other cooker, and you will hear about it pronto, and be given an "infraction". It's like those power freaks that populate homeowners associations who drive around the neighborhood daily looking for "violators"! The KK forums are like early America, when we still had some semblance of freedom.
DennisLinkletter Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 Primo Primo's lawyers wrote me on April 1st (fools day;-) and threatened the world if I built my 32" big bad Komodo saying it infringed on their patented oval shape.. and it would confuse their customers.. I wrote them a very funny reply about how my cooker's shape is based on a heart not an oval and how a child could see the difference between the two cookers. Also the fact that I would not want to be confused with a cooker that cost only 1/3 of what mine does.. Never heard back from them..
