**CLOSED** - Cook Partner Group Buy Spring 2018

[hstexan]

Oh man from the first pic it looked yellow but I love orange...that griddle is beautiful kinda kicking myself I didn’t get one too

Heck yeah that thing is a beaut!

Looks like Partner has update the gas port to the left side and changed the logo tag to orange.

Got mine today, can’t wait to use it! The quality of this thing is absolutely incredible. I bought a Camp Chef Mountaineer, and compared to this looks like it was assembled by a 2nd grader.

Can’t wait to get out and use it!

Yeah, kind of silly the two things I noticed when I opened mine were both cosmetic -- badge color changing (it's an odd, light orange ... sherbet?) and moved the hose to the left side. The griddle looks awesome, probably going to regret not getting one but so it goes.

:mad2:I got nothing still, no tracking, no UPS notifications, nothing.:rant:

The left side hose will be perfect if anyone plans on building the diy drawers on the 4th gen, so I am kind of happy about that. Not crazy about the orange logo plate though.

You are #26 in line, take a deep breath and relax. Everyone posting pics are the first few people on the list. It probably doesn’t help that almost everyone ordered a 22” as well.

Yea the griddle looks nice but I prefer steel, if I find one that fits well I'll share the info.

got my shipping notification yesterday, should have it on Tuesday

Received mine today. My attachments are on the right side which is fine by me. Seems very well made but still not UPS proof. Leave it to to bozos in brown to take the joy out of a shipment. Do they train people to damage things or does it come naturally?

 

[ZOMBRNR]

Aw man I'm really sorry about that. I too had some very tiny dents on the bottom of mine if it makes you feel any better.

And wait, your gas port is on the right side?! What the heck....why are they making different sides? I'm going to contact the vendor about that, there should be consistency.

Their website offers left or right gas ports, maybe they make a mix of both in their production runs and send out either if there is no specification. It's no big deal to me but I can understand if someone is set up a certain way in their rig.

during ordering - you specify if right or left gas port.

Yes, but wasn't an option in the group buy

So did yours have the older blue logo plate or was it also the newer orange logo plate? Just wondering if maybe you received one they had in stock already and the new ones they're making with the orange plates have the gas on the left side

during ordering - you specify if right or left gas port.

If you're ordering straight from them that is the case, but brandocommando/ZOMBRNR said he asked about it and that for the group buy you weren't allowed to have a choice of left or right

I agree about consistency--I'm not building mine in to anything (yet) so it doesn't matter to me if it's on the left or right, but I'd be pretty chapped if I were building it in and was told I had no choice in the matter and then come here and see they are actually shipping both

Edit--I guess if you really want the option always exists to trade with someone in the group buy, but you'd have to stomach more shipping costs which would likely eliminate any of the savings of the group buy

Orange.

EDIT: seems they shift the tag side as the port side changes

 

[hstexan]

Orange

Well there goes that theory

New theory: Depends who is making your stove and if they're right or left handed :lmao:

 

[sactown]

Just tested the new stove, works great! Nice to see such hefty products are still being made. Thanks again for this group buy!

You are #26 in line, take a deep breath and relax.

It's nice to know you have a sense of humor.

 

[bigears2303]

everything arrived and survived ups no dents thanks again for the group buy

and just if we are keeping tally my port is on the right side and badge is on the left side it is also orange

 

[5280 TRail-Runner]

Got mine yesterday. No dents, orange tag and connection is on the right side. Thanks for setting this up!

 

[AZFIRERUNNER]

Got mine yesterday, no damage, gas line on the left, orange label on the right. Thanks for setting up the group buy!

 

[clydeepants]

Received my 22" inch yesterday, orange tag on the left and connection on the right. Looking forward to putting it to use this weekend.

Thank you [MENTION=98618]ZOMBRNR[/MENTION] for putting this successful GB together.
