Dennis --- I am so sorry to hear of your loss, but as you say, he was ready to move on and is in a better place. I thank him for many pleasant memories, he certainly touched a great many during his time. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Best to you and your family. Steve

Fetzervalve, Are you still selling this Versa Grill. I just purchased a KK and am waiting for delivery, but would like to pick one of these up for future use if they are still available. Let me know. Thanks --- Steve

Susan, Thanks so much for the color confirmation. What can we say, great minds think alike! I can't wait to see officially positioned in it's new home with that Florida sun sparkling off the surface. Can you send me a picture of yours? Thanks again --- Steve

Primeats, Really cool. Early in my Air Force career I had to go thru POW training and we really got an education on what our POWs went through, and the amazing stories of how they persevered. All I can say is that must have been one sweet ride home. Hats off to the MAC boys that flew her and the individuals they returned home! Thanks --- Steve

Eye of the Beholder Still a pair of Beauties!!!!

One More Answer MGuerra --- BBQ Guru, Digi2 2 or CyberQ2is in my future. I still haven't made my mind up which unit I'm going to go with. I like the PC interface with the CQ2 but am not sure if I really need. I did pick up one of their Guru Golf Clubs and constructed a lighting system similar to what Firemonkey uses in his videos. Now I just can't wait to have a KK to light up! ___________________________________ Steve

Thanks for the Welcome Okay MGuerra, I have officially sat myself in a chair, with an intensive lamp in my face, to better simulate the interrogation! So time for some answers. I chose the "Autumn Nebula/Bronze Metallic Mix" (image below) along with a pair of teak side tables. We have an outdoor kitchen with teak cabinets and this combination will really mix well. As far as my grilling/barbecuing experience goes, I would consider myself your basic novice, enough knowledge to cook up some pretty good meals, but still alot to learn from many of you folks. I have owned numerous grills (BGE, Hasty Bake, Kalamazoo Gas which I currently have, Traeger and your basic Weber Kettles) but have always been in a search for the one that will do it all = KK! Firemonkey, thanks for the videos, I have watched them numerous times and they really helped me get a feel for what the KK is like in action. I thought you did a great job in the video highlighting the features and benefits of the KK, and really had a major influence on my decision. Thank you for that. As far as the KK that I was able to see, I visited "Bromeliad" up in Gainesville, who spent over an hour with me detailing his experiences with not only cooking with the grill, and what a terrific product it is, but also echoed many of your comments on what a great guy Dennis is and the outstanding customer support he provides. He is a really nice guy. Hopefully I have answered some of your questions and really look forward to many more conversations in the future. I would also like to say hello to a few Air Force and Navy Pilots I heard are out there. I am an ex-F-16 pilot although my last stick time was back in the early 90's. Once again, thanks to all replies for the warm welcome and keep 'em coming! _______________________________________________ Steve

Well, I finally took the plunge and ordered my KK. I'd like to thank many of you for helping make my decision quite easy. Your comments, ranging from build quality to customer support were convincing enough, but when I had a chance to visit with a current owner in my area, and play touch-feely with the KK, this immediately sealed the deal. In addition, your comments about Dennis Linkletter, and specifically the personal touch he adds, was right on track. He answered my emails and telephone calls promptly, along with answering all of my questions/concerns. I guess the only bad part of this whole process is now having to wait for my KK to arrive, and I'm sure many of you can emphasize with this part of the deal. Once again, thanks for making this a great forum to interact with and I look forward to sharing my experiences with all
