So Cal Cooker Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Let me start by saying that I have over 40 years experience with Kamado cooking, beginning with my first Imperial Kamado in the 1960's, a replacement unit in 1990, and NOW upgrading to the OTB. We bought a new house 1 1/2 yrs ago and I have been Kamadoless for that period of time. It's been hell. I received "my baby" (OTB) a couple of weeks ago in perfect condition. I have completed the break-in and have done some terrific baby back ribs and last weekend a spectacular pork roast. It has been way too long. Now about Dennis. This guy is like somebody you may only do business with a couple of times in your life. I feel like we have become brothers during the experiences we have been through. Let me explain. After making my decision to buy the OTB, I waited for the arrival. When Dennis notified me of the arrival I sent him the funds for the OTB. Then US Customs got involved and delayed the shipment and ultimately wanted the cargo returned because the packing crates were not fumigated (who cares). Dennis immediately refunded my money until the delay was sorted out with customs. He did this entirely on his own, without even a suggestion to do so from me. A very pleasant surprise. The next thing I knew a trucking company was calling to arrange a delivery time. I received the Kamado, inspected it and set it in it's new home. I immediately sent payment to Dennis. He kept my money this time. Trust me, he earned it on this transaction. The trust and straightforward business approach Dennis demonstrates is truly unique. I wish all my business experiences were as pleasurable as this has been. For all of you out there "on the fence". GET OFF! Dennis is the real deal and his product is like none I have experienced. It is everything as advertised and more. You won't be sorry. Now I want to get to the recipes and the techniques of operating the OTB. Glad to be here, hope to talk with you all in the future. "My Baby" with me & my 97 year old dad on his birthday "My Baby" The Whole Enchilada
tskyrocket Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 What is that thing above your KK? Is that a heater or AC unit in the ceiling of your beautiful outdoor kitchen?
leejp Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Re: Happy To Be Here Now about Dennis. This guy is like somebody you may only do business with a couple of times in your life. Unless he gets into the charcoal business...
So Cal Cooker Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Posted June 22, 2006 It's A Heater That thing above our heads is an outdoor heater. We have a couple of them to take the chill off on those cool evenings. If Dennis get's into the charocaol business I will be back at the well for my next transaction.
tcoliver Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Dusty Cover I think that thing that is covered up with a gray cover is going to get dusty
Curly Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 97 Dang, he looks awful spry for 97. God bless him
TheNakedWhiz Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 So Cal cooker, where are you located. When I saw your photo, I thought "dang, that wall and hill looks exactly like my sister's back yard in Chino!" You might be a neighbor of hers!
So Cal Cooker Posted June 23, 2006 Author Report Posted June 23, 2006 Nice to hear from you all to answer the questions: Naked Whiz: I live in Coto de Caza, CA (Near Mission Viejo) Curly: Your right on two points. He is in GREAT shape for 97, I only hope I hold up as well. And that thing under the cover (Gas BBQ), will it will be getting dusty and rusty. As soon as I get the Gas Burner for the KK (Dennis are you listening?), I will be able to fire that thing up on a moments notice.
