    KAT BBQ Smokers stands among the elite. I looked around Texas and California for a quality built…read morecustom smoker. Many folks don't realize that California has a very active and successful competition BBQ Association. As such, they also have skilled Pit builders. Ken is at the top of that list. He is a skilled welder, cares about his customers and builds extremely high quality into his equipment. After looking at my options, I decided on a vault type smoker, mainly because I could feed it while it was smoking. I found the KAT smaller vault was perfect in size and more economical than most. Ken has a waiting list and makes the wait times clear on his website. His site says that there is currently a 21-26 week wait. Mine was a little longer. That was okay with be, because I now have my lifetime smoker! I am a certified pitmaster, KCBS member and BBQ judge and have seen many pits. The welds, attention to details and quality that goes in to these units is superior! The attention to detail astounds me. So, Ken gave me a call to let me know my pit was ready for pickup. So off to California I go from Phoenix, AZ. Ken was friendly, accommodating and a joy to chew the fat with. Because i couldn't find many reviews for Ken or KAT smokers when I purchased the smoker, I had some uncertainty. That is why I added this review on Yelp. You can rest assured that Ken is a good, hard working man that won't do you wrong. In my discussions with Ken, he has even taken pits back from customers to make function modifications for them. He all about his customers, trustworthy and friendly. Ken took me through the operation of his smoker and was quite proud as he did so. Rightfully so, the machine is perfect! From Modesto, I drove to the Bay Area. While there I showed my new smoker to a close friend who is an integral member of the California BBQ Association. She was exited to hear that I purchased a KAT smoker. She told me that a pitmaster friend of hers had one as well and that she and he thought highly of them. She told me that they were conducting a BBQ competition that Saturday on Coast Guard Island using their KAT. Not a bad endorsement! In the end, I got my beautiful pit and I am very pleased by my experiences with Ken. I would like everyone to know that you can trust Ken and KAT smokers! You will have to wait, but the wait will be well worthwhile. My friends rant over my new KAT smoker! Few have anything so nice... Thank you Ken! Your a skilled and awesome guy!

Installation went smoothly and on schedule, which I appreciated since I work form home and didn't want disruptions. The finished setup feels really solid and thoughtfully designed -- all the little details were nailed, like easy-to-clean surfaces and smart storage spots. Price-wise, it wasn't cheap, but given the quality and how hassle-free the whole process was, I think it was a fair investment. I'm looking forward to hosting friends there this summer.

I reported the issue in November, and they inspected it in January. Since then, despite multiple follow-ups and a formal written request for resolution, I have not received any response or proposed solution. I also had a local engineer inspect the installation. He did not identify any structural issues with the support. The countertop material is marketed for outdoor use, so this appears to be a product or installation failure. I was hoping to resolve this directly, but the lack of communication has been disappointing. I'm still open to working with them to fix the issue.

Rhonda was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to walk us through the differences between the various high-end grill options. She thoroughly explained the pros and cons of each model, answered all of our questions, and helped us make an informed decision without any pressure. What stood out most was how much effort she put into educating us so we could choose the grill that best fit our needs, rather than simply steering us toward the most expensive option. She also took the time to explain the service and warranty support behind the different brands. Knowing that the manufacturer has a local service technician available if we ever need assistance gave us tremendous confidence in our purchase and peace of mind that support would be readily available if needed. Rhonda's expertise, patience, and professionalism made what could have been an overwhelming purchase a very enjoyable experience. It's rare to find someone who is both highly knowledgeable and genuinely focused on helping customers make the right decision. If you're looking for a premium grill and want honest, knowledgeable guidance, I highly recommend Diablo Grills and especially Rhonda. Excellent customer service, great product selection, and an outstanding buying experience. We couldn't be happier with our new Fire Magic grill.

That day finally came, and the smoker was delivered this week. I wanted to share how impressed I was with Henry, the delivery driver. What I expected was a straightforward delivery. What I experienced was something far better. When I asked Henry for a few quick tips on installation and best practices for getting started, he didn't just give a quick answer and head out. Instead, he smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and helped me get everything set up. While we worked, he walked me through the key points just like a knowledgeable friend would when helping you get started with something new. That level of service genuinely caught me off guard--in the best possible way. In today's environment, it's rare to see someone take that kind of pride and initiative in making sure the customer has a great experience. Kudos to Diablo Grills for having someone like Henry on your team. More importantly, a big thank you to Henry himself for his professionalism, generosity with his time, and clear commitment to customer service. It made an already exciting purchase even better.
