Hello grilling friends!
I am really excited to share some very exciting news with you all! I have had the pleasure over the last year and a bit to make friends with a man I have come to know as T.K. Its short for Tarsem Kholi and he is the man responsible for creating by far one of the best Kamado style cookers/ovens on the market today called GrillDome. Now, for those of you who have never heard of GrillDome worry not, as I had no clue the company existed either a little over a year ago but after my initial research into this wonderful cooking medium we found each other and have had some great conversations since about cookers, food, technology, evolution of his product etc. I also made friends online with a great guy and distributor for GrillDome in Australia by the name of Michael Jones for whom I also feel indebted to so Michael, if you catch this post mate, I owe you a few cold ones for turning me onto a fantastic product that I have really enjoyed firing up since I got my first one. For the record, Michael owns a company called "Kamado Cookers Australia" so if you want to check out a cool site and some great pics of the GrillDome product in action check it out and enjoy!
GrillDome have been in business for twenty years and in that time have produced an incredible product and story. Engineered and designed in the USA and produced in India Tarsem and company have really honed their skill at producing great cookers. Not only do they come in six color's but GrillDome have taken their game to a whole new level by including a 304 stainless steel component package on their cookers which for us Kanuk's and our ever popular weather patterns, its a huge advantage and I must admit GrillDome win hands down for having the best spring hinge mechanism I have ever seen or used. I often hear concerns from people that the lids to these cookers are heavy, and they are, but rest assured GrillDome have nipped this in the butt, no questions asked.
GrillDome have a number of different sized cookers but the most popular sellers are the new generation "Terepex" technology XXTall and SuperDomes which are available in red, blue, copper, black, and green. I purchased myself an XXTall copper model for testing and love it to bits! Unlike anything else on the market currently GrillDome take on a slightly different shape similar to that of a tandoori oven and are hand finished which adds a special unique touch to a truly artistic vessel. Now although GrillDome are not available in Canada as of yet through any distributor you can purchase online (warranty included) from the USA and have it shipped up to Canada and mark my words folks, you won't be disappointed. Tarsem and his team down in Atlanta pride themselves on great customer service and the attention to detail is impressive for sure. GrillDome's come pre-assembled ( huge bonus) and packed nice and tight and safe for the trip and all one needs to do once you get it is give "The Grateful Griller" a call for your start up demo and deck party and let the rest take care of itself. After testing this product extensively I think it is fair to say that "The Big Green Egg" and any other company has some serious competition in the marketplace as it relates to the circular/kamado styled cookers that exist currently and this is one hell of emerging brand that people need to be made aware of indeed!
GrillDome have a number of different accessories for their cookers and the food result is simply incredible. There are slightly different procedures when using GrillDomes compared to BGE's or Primo's. GrillDome are the only company in this marketplace that provide color options and that's going to fare very well for these guys as they grow their business in the coming years. I also have to say that T.K being the principle owner is incredibly up front and accessible to anyone and everyone it seems who wants to enter into this cooking lifestyle and he has been just awesome when it comes to discussing his product and trying to help make the experience great for everyone. Think about folks, how many owners of their own brand big or small can you get on the phone regularly to make life easier for you. I can count them on less than the fingers I have on one hand so T.K, many thanks for your product, passion and straight forward approach when it comes to cooking with ceramics!
You have sold "The Grateful Griller" and have an ally forever up here in Canada! Keep on grilling my friends and spread the word on the "grilled to obsession" lifestyle! See you on the deck soon.
fire, ice, bevies and food,
The Grateful One
