Just wanted to let you know..

]]>17560Tue, 18 Nov 2025 15:49:56 +000010% added to help offset the new 19% tariff on goods from Indonesia.https://komodokamadoforum.com/topic/11944-10-added-to-help-offset-the-new-19-tariff-on-goods-from-indonesia/ I've been forced to raise the price on all KK products by 10% today to help offset the new 19% tariff on goods from Indonesia.
I've been eating 10% since March. Today, it was announced that the tariff will be 19% going forward.
I hope this will be short-lived. However, it could be worse, as tariffs on the rest of Asia are even higher.  19% is devastating for my factory-direct business model..

38" Goldilocks Unveiled..

The 38” Goldilocks is the newest member of the KK family. We took our 42” Serious Big Bad grill, sawed it in half, and pulled 4” from the middle. It is a reduced size 42". It has the same double two-spring hinges, the basket splitter is standard, and a stainless lip protector. Its inside dimensions are 38” wide and 22” deep. It comes standard with three levels of 3/8” 304 stainless grates that can cook on four levels. The main and lower grate have rods front to rear and come in three pieces.
It also comes standard with a charcoal basket splitter reducer that lets you cook on a reduced volume of charcoal. This creates a two-zone cooking environment. The grill weighs 1,560 lbs—(74 lbs less than the 42") and rolls easily on five high-density black rubber castors, four in the legs and one under the body, to distribute the weight evenly. It has 208 lbs of 304 Stainless..
Standard tiles $ 8,240
Bronze and Pebble tiles $ 8,480

]]>11589Sat, 06 Jan 2024 10:57:34 +000050% Rollback on Last Years Price Increasehttps://komodokamadoforum.com/topic/11480-50-rollback-on-last-years-price-increase/ We have been concerned about the number of emails we've received from people in the last year lamenting how our last price increase put the grills outside their budget.
Our material costs increased dramatically during the pandemic, mostly from outrageous shipping charges.  These inflated production costs forced us to make our first price increase in over 10 years.
Responding to this feedback, we have been pushing suppliers to review and reduce their pricing now that shipping has dropped. (actually less than pre-COVID)   We have reduced the previous price increases by 50% with these savings.
We hope this helps make our grills accessible to more people.

"The amount of powder/dust/granules in the bottom of the bag was stunningly small, a mere 2 grams for the smaller USPS box and 18 grams for the larger box sent by UPS. (A new world record in both cases.)"

"the volume of ash produced was the lowest we have ever tested, lump or coconut!"

DId four days in Paris, four days in Provence, four days in Venice and four days in Rome.. A great trip, my 16 year old daughter and wife's first time. Over booked the trip and ran myself ragged but lived.
Produce was spectacular, but sadly most of the restaurant food was underwhelming.. I did not realize how good both the food in Bali and my house was.. Qatar airways was amazing and DOHA airport mind blowing.. the business class lounge was over 100,000 sq'.
