You will notice Andy stated he viewed our gasbbqthailand thread and based his order and purchase from viewing the legitimate feedbacks of our previous customers.
Once he received his BBQ a short time ago he was so impressed with the unit he became a undonmap member and posted his thoughts, as well.
Andy is an international trader of goods, has numerous customers and friends around the world, many of which he communicates with on a daily bases.

Maybe when you get some money maybe you to can own one. FYI...Doc sent me pics before I received it and in case you haven't worked out pretty easy to forward them by email to my mate in Canada. If you don't think I am real then check out my website http://www.timeman.net and try emailing me and see if it is not andy_timeman@yahoo.com. The BBQ is a handmade piece and what is wrong crediting the person and business that has done a crackerjack job making it, the world needs a little bit more of this rather than knockers and tossers .

I have included the message below just incase you think I haven't bought a barbie.

Hi Andy, went to factory to check progress of your Barby.

I'm amazed at how our # 1 guy is fabricating your baby.

No computers, no slide rules, he just thinks of how it can be done, takes
a piece of stainless sheet scrap, draws out the measurements, cuts, bends,
etc, etc, and makes it happen, all by hand.

I had no idea how he was going to skirt the frame, but today saw he's
making panels for back and sides rather than wrap it some way, with the
shinny stainless frame showing. This young guy is a genius, a million to
one in this country.

Your dream of having a very beautiful one of a kind Barby is taking shape.
It'll take center stage in our web-site. The big daddy of them all.

Open attachment and enjoy, Mate...

My best,
Doc

Thanks for the support, Andy.

You're a real deal kinda guy, and much appreciated by myself and the Quik-Fire team.
Happy days, Mate...

What was the cost Doc, this unit seems to address all the issues that most serious BBQ ers have.

Good evening, Mr. Wazza,

The price for this BBQ is not for the faint of heart, 65,000.



For those that might get bent out of shape considering the price, here's a comparison of an imported counter top model, half steel, half stainless coming unassembled in a box, out of Bangkok, at 59,900.



Thanks for your interest now and in the past, Wazza, you're appreciated.

Our best,
Doc

Random samplings of recent feedbacks and pics from more of our good customers around Thailand and Lao.

Hello Doc

Thanks for the great effort in the workmanship and the timely delivery, you could not have made it more simple! I have not seen the BBQ yet, but from what Junya has told me, she could not be more pleased. I will be sure to recommend you to the other ex-pats in the area and hopefully I can generate some additional business.
Good luck to you and Sawitta in all that you do!

Thanks

Hi Doc,

Very nice tool and it takes only a few minutes to heat it up. The SS-Deluxe works perfectly fine, it\'s very easy to adjust the 2 separate burners and the result is just fantastic. I\'m having a lot of fun with this piece, it\'s really quality work and worth every bath I paid for. I really recommend this gas-bbq to everyone who is seeking for the perfect bbq solution - you get good quality for your money.

Hello Doc.

How are you?

Finally finished the house and put the bbq in place.

I thought that you may like to see its pride of place.

Tomorrow I have 9 family arriving from England for 2-3 weeks to see the
new house so expect to give the new BBQ a "real thrashing".......steaks, shrimp, chicken, veggies......the works.

Another super feedback from a top notch good guy, Greg, his wife, and super neat daughter.
These sort of feedbacks, along with our stand up, mate, Andy, and numerous others, are what makes all the hard work worth while.
Thanks Mucho to all, and to all, Happy BBQing, Mate's...

************************
Hello Doc,

This is a note to say thank you so much for the fantastic SS Master Deluxe barbecue, with custom high pressure wok burner. I have attached some photos. One is of my daughter "presenting" the BBQ as it arrived, still in the excellent packaging. I had not realized that the three burners are arranged length wise along the BBQ, which is an excellent layout that I am sure helps to give nice, even cooking.

On the first evening, everyone watched as I barbecued a chicken (photo attached). I left it on the BBQ a bit too long as my wife insisted that it was not cooked yet. Oh well, it was my first attempt and it still tasted good.

On the second evening, I could not get a look in on the BBQ as my wife and her Aunt took over and did the cooking. They made some excellent shishkababs and barbecued fish. Everyone was really impressed by this machine and I know that it will get a lot of use, actually, probably daily use.

The double insulated hood is very solid and heavy and the outside surface stays relatively cool as the heat is trapped inside.

I must say that the workmanship is excellent. All of the welds are very neatly done and of course there are no nuts and bolts to be seen. This is one very solid BBQ and I expect that it will last us many, many years. Having the thermometer fitted to the hood was an excellent suggestion of yours too as it gives a bit more control over how things are cooked.

To clean the BBQ, I just turned it up to 350 degrees for a few minutes before turning the BBQ off and then when it had cooled down I used a wire brush to remove the black remnants.

I will be recommending Quik-Fire gas BBQs to anyone who will listen.

Thanks again and Best Regards

Greg - Prachinburi

Another fine customer with a few words after receiving his SS Deluxe 4n1Quik-Fire BBQ.
SS Deluxe, 4n1; BBQ, Oven, Half Griddle, w/side burner. A very popular model these days.
Thanks for the mail, Alex.

Hi Doc,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on the BBQ. Have used it several times already and am really happy with it. My wife wanted to know why I did not get a bigger model. This is a large step from telling me we did not need one.

Also the family have realized the side burner is much easier to use than the small burners on top of the gas bottles.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know all is well.

Regards and thanks again for providing a great product.

I didn’t believe, but now I am convinced, Quik-Fire BBQs are really ˜Top-of-the-Line.
I took delivery of a ˜SS Master DeLuxe@, I originally thought a little expensive, but now realising you get what you pay for. What workmanship, Quik-Fire say everything is hand-made, it's a fact I can verify.

Needless to say it is being well used, the latest being the production of Sausage Rolls. I feel sure that this hasn't been attempted yet by other proud owners. (The attached photograph shows the final product).
I feel my horizons are now wide open for more adventurous cooking in my Master DeLuxe.
Incidentally, for once, my wife is ˜gob smacked@, with the results, a rare occurrence for a Thai.
Our Thai BBQs have been relegated to the farm, I better be careful, maybe I shall have to get her a SS Gas BBQ for there.

Doc, you convinced me.

Regards
lumpuk

[beer monkey]

Those S/rolls do look perfectly cooked,well done,,(you and not the rolls) but i bet you kept a close eye on them so as not to burn them...so i suppose this means you could cook a meat pie from raw on a bbq...!!

[aznyron]

looking very good Doc I do have a couple of questions one is what do you burn other than LPG
also what is the price of one of them. when I complete my thai Kitchen out back it some thing I may consider buying very impressive looking

[wazza]

BM

I have a temp control module ( Therometer ) inserted into the lid of mine . ( its not a Quick Fire Model )

So you can monitor the temp for the baking etc, by controling the flow of gas

[docta]

Hi aznyron,

Ronnie, the only other firing system we have is Charcoal.
The gas is quick starting, clean burning, and easily regulated for both BBQing, and Oven cooking.

The big SS Master Deluxe which has the volume within the insulated top makes for a great Oven, is a bit pricey for many, but it certainly is an Oven, as much as it is a Barbecue.
Seen in person they blow guys away with their beauty and quality workmanship.

We also apply heavy duty Oven Thermometers set in stainless housings into the tops for those that really would like to do some serious Baking and roasting.
It certainly makes sense to have a Thermometer, if you have an Oven.

I know you've been looking forward to getting a nice Oven someday, so going this way will give you much more versatility, and surely cost less having the combo in one unit. Might as well enjoy life, brother.

Also, what's neat about having an Oven/BBQ combo is when your meat is cooked just the way you like it all nice and tender with the top closed, you can open the top, place the meat on the BBQ grate, apply your favorite BBQ Sauce, if desired, and put the finishing BBQ touch on the meat, all in one session.
Hey, man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about fall off the bone BBQ'd meat.
By the way, we're coming out with a new line of delicious Quik-Fire BBQ Sauce sometime in the near future. Original, Smoky, and Hot. Maybe I'll put your picture on the label...

Even with the tough meat you get around here, simply putting your favorite seasonings on it, a little water in the pan, cover it with Aluminum foil and letting it stay in your BBQ Oven long enough, the meat automatically gets super tender, and tasty.

Ok, the price for an SS Master Deluxe, is; 24,995. Applied Thermometer; 1,500. 26,495, total.

You've seen our feedbacks, you wouldn't be disappointed, I wouldn't let that happen, anyway...

Anyway, thanks for posting, you're aways welcome to give me a call...087 863 8651

Take care, Ron,
Doc

Another pleased customer in Phuket sending us pictures of his newly built and beautiful Granite counter made specifically to mount his new, SS Crown Deluxe. Wouldn't we all love to have a Barbecue counter like Bobs.
Thanks for the pics and note, Bob, much appreciated.

Finally completed the BBQ pit and here are 2 photo's [as promised] of it in situ.
Hope all is well with you
Cheers
Bob



More pleasant feedbacks from two very nice customers.

Hello Doc,

We bought the BBQ from you today.
Just to say that I have never used Gas before. My Wife's family were
here and we had Whole Fish, Squid, Sausages and Chicken. Everything
was cooked perfect.

Thanks. John and Kai.

Another very pleased customer relating thoughts regarding his recently received, Quik-fire 'SS Deluxe', Barbecue.
Thanks allot, Andrew, we work hard to do it right...


Doc,

I am happy to inform you that I now have the coolest barbecue in the Mooban.
After some back and forth with the post office regarding whether or not I
needed to be there for it, my maid managed to get them to release the barbecue
to her last week. After wrangling a pickup truck owner from the local market
to deliver it, it sat in my carport for a few days, tempting me, until I had a
chance to unwrap it and do the "break in" myself.

Both my wife and my maid thought it was too beautiful to use. But I finally
got a chance to try in at supper last night, and what a beauty! I love the
strategically-placed "peepholes" on the sides that allow a look at the flame
tubes -- simple and effective. I used it for a couple of small steaks last
night, and I learned pretty quickly -- it gets hot in a hurry, so I need to
monitor closely. I think I'll try some sausages tonight.

As for the quality of construction, I have to tell you that I'm really
impressed. Let me share a little story. Yesterday afternoon, I was at a
fancy supermarket in Chiang Mai that had several gas barbecues for sale. They
were the same, flimsy-looking ones that I had seen on other websites catering
to farangs (no names, but you know the sites I mean). When I had the
chance to lay hands on them and give them a good shake, they shuddered and
twisted like an outhouse in a tornado. For one, the asking price was B30,000!
I was reminded of the cheap, made-in-China ones I saw at Home Depot in the
U.S. In February (retailing for about $200). I turned my nose up at those,
and, when I saw the same kind in Chiang Mai yesterday, I could only chuckle,
knowing what I had at home.

Correct me if I'm wrong about this, but there are a couple of features of the
grill that don't get mentioned on the website and should be.

1. The wood handle for the hood that rotates in its mount. The wood stays
cool, and, because it rotates, it's easier to open the hood. That's a quality
touch, and the combination of the wood handle and stainless steel construction
is kind of nautical-seeming, like it should be aboard ship.

2. The push handle that juts out slightly from the shelf side of the barbecue
and the high-quality casters are very nice. I've had several barbecues with
wheels, but none of them were very easy to move. In those cases, there were
no good handles to use and the shelves were usually very flexible plastic;
also, the plastic casters were terrible on outdoor surfaces and easily broke.
Your machine, however, I can (and do) wheel quite easily from the covered
carport to the open patio. It reminds me a bit of those medical-equipment
carts you see in doctor's offices.

3. I would add one very pleasant surprise about it. It's not as big as I
expected it to be. I don't mean the cooking surface (which is more than
adequate for my purposes), but the overall dimensions. Though I'm using mine
outside in a fairly open space, I could see how it would fit in a confined
patio or courtyard, or even on an open balcony.

Hope that you're having a good weekend there in Isaan. Mine here is a lot
better now that I've got a good barbecue to use.

Best,
Andrew

Quik-Fire's – “SS Lad”


Quik-Fire’s Newest Stainless Barbecue.
Desiring a less expensive, but quality stainless barbecue?

If so, Quik-Fire’s, new; “SS LAD”, is certainly worth your serious consideration.

The SS LAD is a High Performance, down sized Gas Barbecue.
You’ll not find an imported barbecue that will rival the quality of the SS Lad, in this price range.

For starters; the SS Lad is welded not bolted, with each unit being individually hand crafted to American quality Standards.
The SS Lad comes to you in one piece ready to fire, not unassembled in a cardboard.

With your new, Quik-Fire SS LAD, simply hook up the gas, spark your fire, and after a short sealing interim, you’re barbecuing.
All newly received Quik-Fire gas barbecues work the same. Could it be easier, or more convenient, we don’t think so.

The SS LAD will cook plenty of food on it’s 17x13 inch stainless grate.
The top was made extra tall for roasting or baking your favorites.
The firing area is configured in such a way Pumice Stones are not required to disperse heat.
Heavy stainless steel angle irons placed over the firing tubes disperse the heat, and they are easily removed for periodic cleaning.

Our recent and first SS LAD customer says; “it works perfect”.
We expected no less, our Quik-Fire team pre-tests all Barbecues before they qualify for market.
We found the SS Lad to be an exceptional performer.

The SS Lad sells for 13,500, plus, 400 for Regulator/hose set tested with Barbecue, to assure safe and correct firing.

Quik-Fire will soon be uploading a new Website. For a short time, Udonmap is the only place the SS Lad can be viewed, unless you’d care to see it in person.
In this case, give Doc a call: 087 863 8651
