Hey y'all, new member here. I just purchased a Vision Pro Series Kamado from HD with their Black Friday sale....
Everyone loves a good story so here's mine:
Couple months ago I decided that I wanted to get into BBQ / smoking because I love cooking and particularly love this cuisine. I tend to be impulsive (single, 29, disposable income) but decided I would wait to see if the itch faded by Black Friday. It didn't so I pulled the trigger on a Kamado mostly because I love Indian cooking and pizza, just seemed like a great fit.
So I make my order with HD, told its 3 week shipping because they have to freight it (200 lb grills eh?).... No problem, I can continue my wait. Well delivery date comes, I am refreshing my browser with the shipping tracking (who doesn't), but notice that the information isn't really changing; showing that the freight company had never received the grill. After some calling, turns out the damn thing was "lost." Vision had released the item to the freighter, where it went after that no one knows. I'm wagering my grill is in someone at the shipping companies back yard! No issue though, they refund me, I asked for an additional discount (15%) and they obliged. Now I just have to wait til early January!
All the more time to read and learn on these forums.
Outside of cooking activities, I play golf (5.6 index, trending up unfortunately), enjoy shooting sports (trap, skeet, sporting clays) and am a general workaholic (travel the world selling high fidelity energy simulation).
Thanks for reading, looking forward to being part of the community.
