Jon B. Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) After we unpacked the 19" TT KK at the house, I brought the crate into work to dispose of the wood (we send old pallets to a plant to be recycled). Put in the KK crate in old pallet pile and said my final goodbye . Today I walked by the maintenance cage and saw a pleasant surprise........the top half of the KK crate was rescued and tuned into a work table by the maintenance crew. They love how strong it is!!!! Only trouble is that every time I see the crate, I want to go home and start cooking !!!!! Edited March 22, 2016 by Jon B.

tony b Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Mine got recycled into a doghouse for the neighbor dog across the street. Neighbor was impressed with the quality of the wood and asked for the crate to build the doghouse out of. It's a nice doghouse! The dog likes it, too!

CeramicChef Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 The crate for my 32", TheBeast, lives on as a dog house for a friend of mine who breeds Mastiffs. It just fits. Angel, the mastiff, just loves her crate. She's as gentle as a lamb despite her bark and her size. Just like TheBeast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to use my crate as a side table if I get the awesome komodo kamado label on the side. Maybe I would add wheels too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon B. Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Our crate was for a 19" table top model. They did not have to alter/cut the crate, as it was at perfect woriing height - FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
