Thanks, I ended up doing the following with some help from another coder.

/* Grab Excerpt Function
-----------------------------------------------------*/
function grab_excerpt($str,$length=40,$append='...'){
    $pieces=explode(' ',strip_tags($str));
    $excerpt=implode(' ',array_slice($pieces,0,$length));
    if(count($pieces)>$length)
        $excerpt.=$append;
    return $excerpt;
}

Then put this in my template :
<?php echo grab_excerpt($post_object->post_content); ?>
