    Good evening from Kissimmee FL

    New to the group, we just moved to Kissimmee from New Jersey. I couldn't wait to get into some fine smoking and cooking, so I bought a Kamado Joe Big Joe right before we left the Philly area and just left it in the back of our pick up truck until we finally landed here. It was lifted into our truck with 4 guys at the Wilmington DE Costco and today I had my unloading crew help me bring it out to be assembled. Unfortunately it appears somewhere before I got it it must have sustained a big fall, the top was smashed to pieces and the big handle up front was severely bent. Bummer, I was really looking forward to having this grill going this weekend. Call KJ but was only able to leave a message. I emailed then filled out their on line warrantee claim which did get me a reply (automated). I'm hoping for some good customer support!

      Damn duuude!!! That sucks! Sorry to hear about the KJ. Please let us know if you have any issues with the Customer service. We can try to reach out to them on your behalf, if need be.
      Anyway, welcome to The Pit, we are happy to have you. I hope you get everything resolved quickly so you can get to smoking. Glad you made it to FL safe, unlike Humpty-Dumpty.

      I am not sure if you have seen this yet but, please check out our homework assignment post for new members, it contains a few how-tos and please-dos. This will help you learn your way around so you can get the best experience from our forum.

      Also, it's very important that you:

You currently cannot change your email on file with us since it’s tied to your Pitmaster Club account as well as our payment processor, Stripe. Don’t worry though, we’d be happy to change it for you. PM (private message) ”Huskee” with your email change request, or via email at huskee[at]AmazingRibs[dot]com.

          There are many stories on AR about how great the customer service is at Kamado Joe. I dont see any thing different in your future. Its disappointing that that happened but it will be rectified.

                      You appear to have taken that better than me. I would have been committed due to the resulting tantrum

                          Thanks everyone, I'm sure this will get resolved. Finding this broken did put a damper on the afternoon thou... The real shame is that it's now the weekend so I will assume I will be awaiting until Monday to even hear anything from KJ. I guess it would have been nice to at least have someone reach out to us, let us know they got the message and we would hear more next week. Patience has its virtues I guess...

                          Thanks again for the welcome, I will update as we hear more.

                              This looks like a very good reason for me to stay in New Jersey. I just couldn't handle my toys being broke along the way

                            With the ability to monitor up to six temperatures simultaneously with either Bluetooth or Wifi on your mobile phone, tablet, or computer, Fireboard is the best digital thermometer we?ve tested.

                            Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker


                            This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp?s dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin?.

                            GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone


                            GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily rmoved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

                            The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


                            The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                            Finally, A Great Portable Pellet Smoker


                            Green Mountain?s portable Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker is one mean tailgating and picnic machine. But it?s also gaining popularity with people who want to add a small, set it and forget it pellet smoker to their backyard arsenal. And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.

                            Heat Resistant Gloves With Extra Long Sleeves Hold The Hot Stuff

                            If you?re using oven mitts at the grill, it?s time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder?s gloves. They?re heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned.

                            The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


                            The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
