JustinM Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I purchased a “23” ultimate” KK on eBay. The photo doesn’t look like any of the photos in the KK gallery. Is it a fake, or an earlier generation/ original KK? eBay link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Not a kk. It looks like a Richard Johnson, or possibly a Kamado Rocket. The exterior looks to be in good shape, what’s the interior like?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinM Posted April 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Thanks for the heads up. Dennis emailed me saying essentially the same thing. I’m requesting a refund. The interior looks ok from the pics I’ve seen. But I don’t like what I’ve seen regarding the Richard Johnson debacle. I have. Bge, only looking to upgrade to a KK.

5698k Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I hope you get your refund. I definitely believe that you’re doing the right thing by upgrading to a KK. There’s definitely none better!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Your thousand dollar refund is the exact amount you need to reserve the real McCoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cost less than $1,000 new, and was worth less than that. My K7 lost its tiles. I gave it to my neighbor when I bought my 23" KK. He then tried to give it to his gardener, but it broke into pieces when they went to lift it. A genuine KK is worth every penny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 It’s interesting how many times I’ve seen similar situations..grills advertised as KK’s, that to the trained eye, clearly aren’t. The problem is that the sellers know what they have, and what a KK is, and hope the unsuspecting buyer doesn’t. I just wasn’t raised that way.

remi Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I note in the listing that they wrote 'Komodo Kamada'- hope that doesn't give them an out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonj Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 In the description the seller cites the komodo kamado web site, not the RJ site.
