Kamado 2008 review
Hi and I said I would never do it!
Guess you can't ignore technology for ever...must say now thoughthis is a one way conversation blog! Definatley no time in our lives to stuck on a computer all day chatting away!
This is the first Kamado Cookers Australia Blog, not a bad idea to keep our customers informed on whats happening.
We also have a lot of genuine interest in how our business is going from our customers which is really great, seems that everyone really likes their cookers and wants to see us enlighten the rest of the world to what they are missing out on!
Thanks for business and your many words of support and positive comments, they mean a lot as we start out to tackle the big giants of the BBQ industry marketplace with their million dollar + marketing budgets!.
Above I said 'world', we have been sending Pizza stones all over the world this week, NZ, USA and UK to name a few!
Also have had cooker sales inquiries from Thailand, USA, and UK!
So who knows, we have sent cookers to NZ, which is a really easy exercise and not too expensive on the freight, so your fsamily and friends overseas can enjoy Kamado Cooking also.
In short..2008 what a crazy busy year.
We set up a small band of loyal retail dealers from Cairns to Melbourne with some success. Did 3 major expos that exposed us top over 40,000 people and several BBQ store demos and some local food markets,mostly all in Qld.
We also gave away 3 cookers! In promos.
And had fleet of cookers feature in a local Surf Club Promo.
Furtherest sales went to Kunnunarra WA and Hobart TAS!
We have had to endure a business big bump being the collapse of the AU$ against the US$ which was scary and resulted in price increases.
In amongst all this is a full time job, family and sport so has been just tad busy you may say!
2009?
There will be changes to get things rolling, we will be ramping it all up a notch or three! So a busy year planned.
After all the cookers we have sold in the last 18 months we know that we have a superior product and much better way of cooking, the superior flavour, moisture of the food and no greasy fat trays to contend with, just to name a few advantages.
Not to mention an attractive conversation piece in your outdoor area, rather than a boring old dime a dozen gas steel cooker.
The Challenge is educating the general public without spending a kings ransom and also encouraging people to have a go at cooking at home.
Most times unless you are dining in one of the very best Restaurants in Australia (and I am talking top 10% $250 Dinner for two you will be able to produce much better food at home! And you as sure as hell can make a much better pizza with nice fresh tasty healthy ingredients for the same cost or less at home than the big name franchise operations!
Sorry the only thing we can't help you with is the dishes! At least you don't have any dirty trays or pans when cooking with the Kamado cooker!
With the 'economic' stresses of the world currently their wouldn't be too many finance and or personal budget experts that would not be recommending to cook at home rather than going out for meals. Invest in a Kamado, sharpen up you cooking skills, impress your friends and save money! What a Sales Blurb!
Events to look out for us at will include, the Good Food Shows, ABC Home Garden Shows, Qld Home Garden, to name a few.
Video's on the website, AU website,You tube, Face Book to name a few media's more recipes and the start of a major project which will be our own Kamado Cookers Australia Cook Book (probably won't be ready until 2010).
Increasing our range of products on offer is also on the plans.
Thanks again for your support in 2008, look forward to seeing some of your recipes, set up photo's feedback and tips.
Don't forget the website, which also has direct email links to us on it also.

Kamado Cookers Australia does not recommend or suggest that small children should or could be cooked in the Kamado at any stage!! Personally once they are this stage and size they are a little bit tough!
