I hate to sound old but I remember when a company would move it's manufacturing to China to save costs that would result lower cost for the consumer. Now it looks like they just move manufacturing to China to try and make insane iPhone equivalent profit margins.
Don't get me wrong I like PK's grills, I own a PKGO that I use a lot and I was seriously thinking about getting the New Original PK despite having just bought a new SNS kettle. I just think if a company is shifting there manufacturing to a low wage country where workers have no rights and work 6 days a week for 12 hours a day and is in turn indirectly supporting a socially represive communist government that crushes anything that see as a threat no matter how minor, they should at least pass a little of those saving on to there consumers.
That being said I am sure I will buy a new one in the future or at-least a new old original before they stop selling them because they are great grills. I do recommend the PKGO as small or portable grill just not for 350.00 dollars because that is more then my new SNS Kettle that comes with stainless steel grate.
* The prices I mentioned are on the PK website not third party, at this time third party retailers are still selling at older prices, so hopefully they will stay that way.
