frans Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hello my name is Frans and live in Australia, Raymond Island in the Gippsland lakes, Victoria. I just took possession of a bronze KOmodo Kamado 23" I cannot believe the workmanship that went in to this beautiful cooker. Dennis it is an unbelievable cooker the craftsmanship is the best I have ever seen. I am very proud of it and your service is legendary, all I have read about you came true. You are also the kindest person to deal with. Anyway I hope you enjoy the photos . The journey took me 12 hours including waiting, the return distance was 650 km. I left with the ferry of 0530 and arrived back at 1645. Not bad for an 20 year old car and a 15 year old trailer. You can see the car on the ferry. I cannot believe that I have the most beautiful and the best cooker in the world. Thank you for everything. I am looking forward to cooking on this beautiful toy. Frans.

Syzygies Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: New to forum from AU Welcome! I loved my six week stay in Australia. I had kangaroo a few times, but not barbecued. Is that something one does, other than as an act of desperation or inebriation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: New to forum from AU G'Day Frans - Congrats! I just received my bronze KK a couple of weeks ago and it is awesome...you're gonna love it! Had some Brits over for dinner on Sunday that were very impressed with the aesthetics , but were more impressed with the beef tenderloin (Aussie beef I might add).

frans Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: New to forum from AU Have a look at the bottom picture and you'll spot the "Natives" Kangaroos. They are regular visitors to our property at dawn and late in the afternoons. The KK is a wonderful addition to not only the deck but its surroundings as well. My partner said " its a work of ART and its functional as well".What more can one want l ask you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Brimfield Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: New to forum from AU My bbq arrived today. And yes its bronze also. Can't let these Vics get ahead (of a Tasmanian living in NSW) Now just have to get it off the pallet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frans Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: New to forum from AU Hi Brett nice to hear from you in fact I was trying to get in touch with you today to find out how you were getting on with it because I saw your unit and the one that went to Mark in Tas. When it was loaded on to the truck whilst I was loading mine in Melb (nightmare) but I could not find your number in the white pages. Hope you love it as much as I do.

tcoliver Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: New to forum from AU Welcome! I was just wondering about all the extra wrappings you have, the metallic lining, the paper wrap and the cardboard around the crate. Is this the new way of crating or is that particular to Australia? Happy cooking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sold more to Au in the last two months than the previous 5 years.. This is the only good thing about the dollar's considerable plunge against currencies here..
