You are more than welcome Miranda. We're ready when you are. Most of the grills are now pre-sold before the container ships. Please remember to give us a couple months' notice to build yours as we may not have the color tile you want in ready stock.

Thanks Steve.. The plan is to create a new video each week.

Thanks very big!

Great to hear Howie.. thanks for the kudos.

Heylo Quincy.. I can tell you have been around the Kamado world for more than 20 years because you called me Richard..LOL 🤣😂 Anywho.. thanks for the kudos 😉 (Richard Johnson made a problem-plagued tiled Kamado over 20 years ago)

Sorry Dennis, I goofed while formulating my comments. I emailed with you years ago before making my purchase. You were very helpful. I can't say enough good things about the KK's. Everyone wants to ask questions about it when they see it. And after they taste the food they like it even more. Looking forward to more great videos! Regards. @@KomodoKamadoGrills

Thanks Paul..

Thanks Bill..

Thanks Ash.. Love to hear it.

Thanks Axel.. Hope to see you soon..

Thank you Otis.. Yes, they are very durable.

You're welcome.. glad you are enjoying your KK.

Thanks for the Kudos, yes it's been 10 years since the 32" Big Bad came out.. we're always fine-tuning. Yes I'm blessed to live here.. my little chunk of heaven on earth.

Thanks Adam.. One can't go wrong with a 32-inch Big Bad in Bronze Metallic!

Thanks Tom.. glad it was helpful.

Happy to hear it.. a tomahawk is always both visually stunning and tasty.

Thanks Doug, and thank you for your support and great reviews for the last 20 years. For those who don't know the Naked Whiz website, it is an amazing resource with reviews of all the top brands of charcoal and accessories for Kamado cooking.. Hands-down, the best on the Internet! Naked Whiz's review of Komodo Kamado's Coco Char nakedwhiz.com/lumpdatabase/lumpbag152.htm Komodo Kamado Smoke Generator nakedwhiz.com/productreviews/kkhcsg/kkhcsg.htm He makes incredibly professional and thorough reviews as you can see..

Thank you.. Yes I'm Daddy Komodo..

Are you telling us you can’t wait to Die?

My son will take over my company and take care of your son..

Love to hear this Edward...

Thanks Larry..

Thank you Amir.. Yes baking both pizzas and bread is one of the areas we plan to explore as the grills really excel at baking because of the mass of the hotface. It's like a brick oven.

Thanks for the Kudos. Ready when you are on the new 32 ;-) Yes, the reduced airflow creates more smoke flavor and more retained moisture than the pellet machines, but they are push-button convenient.

Thanks David.. love to hear this.

Steaks on the lower grating

Heylo Martin, Probably not.. would not want to give someone help in knocking them off ;-) Thanks for the kudos..

Thanks for the Kudos Alex..

Bucket list.. We're ready when you are!

Heylo Sanny.. Always great to see an early forum supporter pop up! Hope alz well with you and yours. Come visit on the forum!

My phone number is on the website.😉

Thanks Robert.. Yes the springs can settle. Easy to adjust the tension at the bottom of the hinge. High Carbon steel rusts from even looking at it wrong. You can always soak it in molasses to remove the rust and spray it in silver Rustoleum. The new springs seem to finally be rust-free.. really challenging to prevent rust in the very inside bottom of the spring..

Pleased you enjoyed the video Zach.. Yes. It's available on the website... Best to use a syringe to fill the tears from the bottom up. Amazon link on the website.

Great to hear it... I love to hear about the early grills.

I love that review.. Thanks for your support on the KK forum!

Thanks for the kudos.. now you know that KK grills have this same two-zone feature plus much more. I'd say 30% of our sales are from bucket lists.. We're ready whenever you are. Meater probe works fine,

Thanks Lynne.. Coming from arguably the best Kamado chef I know, it means a lot.

Eat well my friend!

Thank you.. ZEP fast 505 degreaser with one of those white magic foam pads. Hinge adjustment on the list. But basically remove the hinge cover and turn the ball to the bottom of the spring one or two turn maximum and then try it.. Be careful not to over tighten you can destroy the hinge. Send me photographs of the tiles it's usually caused from water and repetitive freestyle cycles..

@@KomodoKamadoGrills Thank you Dennis, what is the best way to send you pictures?

Thanks Scott.. Yes, Tri Tips are still my favorite meat on the cow!

Heylo John, the new sliding splitter fence design was borrowed from the 42" splitter. There is a 1/3 warming grate available in the accessories. Not essential enough to have in the base package. Heat Deflectors I used to make and supply them because people coming from the glazed-pot Kamado world think they're very important. The glazed-pot Kamados lose heat through their walls and having more thermal mass inside the grill helps reduce temperature drops when the ambient temperature changes. Because KK's are so well insulated, this is not a factor. That being said I have not used the heat deflector in one of my grills for probably 15 years. I'm confident that using foil to create your indirect area then putting your drip pan on top of the foil on the lowest grate gives you a much better performance.. i.e. less airflow, less evaporation, and more retained moisture in your meat. komodokamadoforum.com/topic/10026-heat-deflectors-in-the-kk/?tab=comments#comment-121321 Rum and Cook... RU-vid is a business and Kamado Joe has been aggressive in recruiting new channels.. Channels need to post videos that will get the most views and subscribers. My plan is to make many videos now..

@@KomodoKamadoGrills Rum and Cook... is now back cooking on Komodo Kamado grills.. ru-vid.com

Hello Gary, and because of the forced airflow through the charcoal basket, the damper top controls temps much more than other charcoal grills. as far as the lower drafts.. You can pull a lot of air through a small hole with vacuum and with no vacuum, you can use a larger hole and no air will come in.. If it's not leaving the damper top it's not coming in the front draft door.. My hypothesis is more than 95% of temperature control can be the damper top.. But if you want/need higher temps don't restrict the airflow below.

They are a bit heavy.. The 32" grates can be special ordered in 3 sections like the 42"

We ship worldwide and pick up most or all of the shipping!

Heylo Daniel, May I suggest getting on the Komodo Kamado forum and ask if there is anybody in your area that would show it to you.. I've seen this work many times.. Thanks for the kudos..

Thanks for the kudos.. I'm sorry the new lid was made for the tabletop base and won't fit the standing Isla. Agree on the corn.. we soak ours in seawater for a few hours when possible or adding sea salt to water works too..

Thank you Dave.. Nice to hear from you! Let's catch up soon!

@dennislinkletter2549 our next vacation needs to be Bali!

This is a Bronze 32" Big Bad which is $6,645

@@KomodoKamadoGrills that’s not much better. Thanks for the clarification though.
