CeramicChef Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 If people ever figured out the customer service we enjoy, there'd be a 5 year waiting list! We know what we have, but who ever talks about customer service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 KK, the ultimate in luxury grills .... Geez, ya THINK!? Yup they are the ultimate luxury grill but more importantly (for me anyway) they are the ultimate work horse of a grill. Don't get me wrong Prometheus is an awesome looking kamado but ..... I live in the country, I don't have a fancy house, my grills are tucked away in the woods and not many people get invited over. No worries for me, I bought the best because I use it almost every day. It makes my daily cooking easier and the more I use it the easier it gets. They say ultimate luxury grill, I say ultimate daily use grill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Charles - I couldn't agree more! I was just thinking the same thing this morning at coffee with the guys! One guy visits Amazing Rbis often and he said he saw the award in the luxury category. I told him that my KKs aren't luxuries but rather necessities! He looked at me with this incredulous look. I asked him if he liked my BBQ. He said Heck Yeah! Great Stuff! he said. I told him that to get such great Q it was a necessity that I have a KK! He just said, "OKAY!" Short conversation!

Cookie Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 First, congrats Dennis. Your KK's belong on the 'Best Value' and 'Top Luxury' lists...and a host of others. Whenever I'm buying anything that costs more than $1,000, I ask myself two simple questions: 1. How often will I use it. 2. How long will it last. From there, it is a simple calculation to get to a cost per use figure. As I've grown wiser (not older), I've found this to helps me make better decisions. A few examples where I have spent top dollar: 1. Mattress ($5,000 mattress that will last 10 years = $1.37 / Use) 2. Business Shoes ($1000 for two pair that will be rotated and last for 3 years being used 5 days a week = $1.28 / Use) 3. Jeans ($200 for a pair that will last 2 years and will see 4 days of use per week = $0.48 / Use) I could go on. With this mentality, I find myself buying fewer things, but the things I do buy are high quality and I try to choose 'timeless' styles / colors. I think I save money in the long run - and I have some nice stuff, just not lots of it (except BBQs...I have lots of BBQs). Now, lets have fun: 4. Komodo Kamado ($4440 for Metallic Bronze 23" OTB; 3 days per week for 20 years = $1.42/use). Let's call it $1.50/use with minimal routine maintenance over that period of time. Now let's look at that silly BBQ Boat that is also on that 'Luxury' list: $50,000 for a boat you might use 50 times a year if you live on a lake. You use it for 10 years before you realize how impractical it is. Cost per use = $100.00 The Boat-B-Q, my friends, is a luxury. The KK is luxurious, but also delivers a tremendous amount of value.

tony b Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Interesting way of looking at things, Cookie. Clearly shows that the KK has "value" and not just another nice shiny toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
