BLAZIN grill works has new owners. New info on there web site.
-
I can’t connect to their site. Oddly, I receive a message that my iPad isn’t connected to the Internet.
-
From their facebook page, “ Hello all, Randy Kinney here. We are excited to announce that we are the new owners of Blaz'n Grill Works. With the support of our USA based, Kinney Manufacturing company, we will be able to have a reliable supply of Blaz'n Grills in the future and the potential to enhance the products we offer. We will keep you updated on our progress. Happy Grillin'”
That was posted in May.

I think but am not certain that Blazin was a side business for a contract metal manufacturing company. It appears that they were purchased by another Nebraska company in the same business.

Here is a link to their new web site. https://mgrills.com/

So far, from what I can tell the new owners have improved some things when it comes to the website. Before they purchased Blaz'n, there was no online store to purchase parts directly from them. You had to call them to place an order. Now they have things like replacement parts, accessories, etc on the site.
I was pleased to see that they had replacement wheels in stock as two of mine had started to come apart.
So far I've made two purchases thru the new store and shipping times have been acceptable. Takes about 5 business days to get to me here in Central Louisiana from Nebraska.

Here's my understanding of the Blaz'n acquisition–
The Blaz’n pellet pits were manufactured by Precise Fabrication in Beatrice, NE. They were acquired by Kinney Manufacturing of Lincoln, NE. Kinney Manufacturing also acquired M Grills of Mesquite, TX.
I ordered an M Grill M-36 on September 14th. It was finally delivered, 9 weeks after the original delivery date and during this winter's first snowfall.

Now, I need to figure out how to get it 20-meters down a grassy slope that's covered with snow to the back yard patio.

Congrats!!!
Looking forward to seeing it out of the box.
Easy way to get it down the hill.
Hose down the hill, let it freeze over night and it will slide down easily. ;D

PF is pellet pit focused. I decided a long time ago to honor it. Consequently, I doubt that I'll post much about it here. I may post in other forums where people write about cooking on their charcoal and gas grills, electric smokers, stick burners and such.
-
True, but there are many food discussions here that don't involve a pellet grill.
-
I would hope Paul knows he is more then welcome to post about cooking on any device. We have moved way past just pellet cooking on this site. It is about pellets in name only. I appreciate he wants to respect the site, but 90% of what I post has nothing to do with pellets.
-
I would be interested in Paul's evaluation of his new pit.
Pit evaluation is a personal thing resulting different things from different people. Time also has an effect, requiring follow-up posts..
Paul: hope you make it down that slippery slope safely! Enjoy that new pit.

Okay. If I post a recipe cooked on something other than a pellet pit, I'll post it in the proper recipe section.
I'll put posts that are something specifically about another style cooker in the General Discussion section.

I may have to resort to that. It's been sitting, unused, in my driveway for more than a month. However, I rethink it because the shipper wrote, "561 lbs." on the wrapping.
-
The M-36 has been sitting in the driveway for almost three months. Movers will take it to the backyard patio tomorrow. It may be a few days before I make my first cook on it because I'm planning a few cooks on other pits.
-
UPDATE
The movers took it off of the pallet and removed the internals. They still had a deuce of a time getting it down to the backyard patio. The four-inch wheels dug into the soft sod so it was essentially carried by using straps over their shoulders. They were astoundingly skilled. I kept thinking that I thought my back was indestructible when I was their age.
I've not cooked on the M-36 yet, or any other grill. Back problem restrictions have kept me idle. Door Dash will miss me when I'm closer to normal activity.
EDIT: Grammar

Look forward to seeing it and cooks.

I remember looking at the website when you first mentioned them, looks like a nice unit.
Looking at your signature, I wouldn't know what I wanted to cook on half the time.

I have the odd-ball habit of sometimes shopping for something to cheer me up when I'm sad — I don't plan it but I recognize it in retrospect. Anyway, soon after Marcia died of pancreatic cancer, I bought it off of the Internet without knowing anything about it except for a few videos on youtube. Apparently, the larger the sadness the larger the purchase.
-
If you posted this earlier I sure missed it and am sorry I did not see it. I am sorry to hear this, you always spoke so fondly of her, I know she is missed.

This is my first mention of her dying. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it but it was part of my decision making process so I included it.
Thank you for your kind thoughts.
-
Please accept my condolences Paul. That is sad news indeed.
-
So sorry for your loss Paul.
-
Have you assembled and used the M36 yet? I was very impressed with their video. Lots of variations of use for it and built like a fortress. Anxious to see pics of it in action.
-
Our thoughts and prayers with you as well, sorry for your loss.

I've had health issues that have kept me away from the outdoor cookers. I did manage to light a few sticks to do a burn-in and seasoning. I was impressed by the ease of maintaining clean smoke and a desired temperature. Then I grilled a tiny pork tenderloin over charcoal in that 36-inch grill. I didn't think either was worth your time to read about it.
I'm in the process of moving so IDK when I'll have the time to do a long cook that may be of interest.
-
I hope you are feeling better Paul & the move goes well. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
-
Thanks for replying. Hope your move goes well, and you are feeling better soon. Keep in touch when you can.
-
Hope things improve with the move as I would enjoy seeing photos too. Like many on this site, you are a resource and a valued member!
