coolpapabill Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Here are a few pictures of my KK 23 to give you an idea of the condition. One quick question I understand there is a venting / burn in protocol for a new Komodo Kamado . Since this one is 4 years old but essentially unused should I do this any way . Been in Colorado dry climate the whole time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alimac23 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Wow, that really hasn’t seen a lot of use has it!See if Dennis will send you the owners guide as it describes the venting process in there, but essentially you take the grill up to about 500f and hold it there until you can smell a solvent like smell, then look out for any rising tiles or bubbling or tearing of the black grout material. Keep it hot until the smell disappears / the venting has finished and then push any tiles that have risen back in whilst it cools down.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolpapabill Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I've emailed Dennis for advice on the venting , thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alohapiggy Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Can u still reach out to the original owner and ask if he has completed the venting process? I’m assuming if the grill is a few years old the original owner must have vented the grill. Edited August 22, 2019 by Alohapiggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolpapabill Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I will be doing the venting process this weekend after speaking with Dennis . Taking 5 to 6 hours of my weekend plus a little charcoal is worth setting up a lifetime of cooking properly. One thing I forgot to mention was how much I was blown away when I first saw the KK in person. Pictures do not do justice to the build quality , engineering , and beautiful looks of this thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolpapabill Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Looking through some old pics and found some of the 23" Ultimate strapped in for the trip from Aspen,Co to Corrales,NM. You can see the block suggested for transport under it in the first two pictures. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
