Tyrus Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) If that's the gas unit door to the back side I believe that has been discontinued, but, not totally certain. anyhow I see a box and something in the garage. Keep the Komodo Kamado sign a safe spot, you may find a place for it later. Looks beautiful and already jumping into the fire Edited May 22, 2019 by Tyrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alohapiggy Posted May 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Ok just curious, I watched a couple of videos and I thought that was the ash cleaning door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Oh my goodness, Alohapiggy, that unit is awesome. All I see is at the back is the serial no. What an awesome unit and when you cook on it you are going to find the cook is just as beautiful and the taste of the food moves to the next level. I agree with Tyrus that sign comes in handy. Keep it, please keep it. Fortunately I kept in mine and I have them in my ODK. I am confident that it won't be long before you consider this one of the best purchases you have ever made.

Alohapiggy Posted May 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just started the venting process. I have the grill pegged at 550 for almost 3 hours. I’m headed the store to grab some steaks. I can’t let the heat got to waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimac23 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Congratulations, hours of fun ahead!! I usually pull the front vent panel out and scrape the ash out that way, the door at the back was for the gas port i believe. How did the venting go?

Alohapiggy Posted May 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 There’s a metal plate in the way after I remove the vent panel. Does that metal plate come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pescador Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Congrats, @Alohapiggy! Looks great! If the 21 is anything like the BB, that metal plate should come off by unscrewing some nuts from the backside (the inside). I don't thinks its necessary or desireable to do that though. When I clean mine out, I usually just scoop out most of the ash from the inside and then give it quick hit with the shop vac. Keeps it nice and tidy. Hope the steaks came out as good or better than expected. You're in for a real treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alohapiggy Posted May 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Grill has been sitting at 550 for 5 hours, and steaks just went on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alohapiggy Posted May 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Steak is done a little over cooked because I got busy with the kids and some home renovations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve M Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 It's a beauty! I just lean into mine to clean out the ashes. If I ever go missing, you guys need to check there first. And those steaks look great to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a metal scoop to clean mine out from the top or sometimes the shop vac. If you use a vac, make sure you have the drywall filter for it, so you're not just blowing the ashes around, but capturing them in the vac. Nice job with the steaks, looks perfectly edible to me!

DennisLinkletter Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 If there is no breeze, I sweep the ashes right out the draft door into a box pushed under the grill. If there is some wind, I put half 6" of duct tape lengthwise on the edge of a trash bag then put the other half on the lower draft door frame and sweep the ashes out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
