Title: Exciting Announcement -- Survey with a Potential Prize!!!!
Post by: Kristin Meredith on January 16, 2018, 05:25:53 PM: We have a manufacturer that wants input from our PelletFan Members. That would be exciting enough, but they are also making a generous offer for one lucky participant!

Our pellet grill manufacturer would like members to answer a 5 question survey and , in return, have a chance to win 5 months worth of wood pellets (equals 10 bags of 20 lbs of pellets or 200 lbs total). They will ship the pellets to you for free. You need to answer the survey below and provide your e-mail address so that when they pick a winner they can contact the person. Your email will not be used for any other purpose. The winner will then need to send them a name and shipping address but personal information will only be used for that purpose.

This survive will run through Sunday night 9 pm Eastern time. We will then announce a winner when the manufacturer gets back to us.

We know this manufacturer and this is legitimate and we are very comfortable with this manufacturer. We hope many of you will participate. We think this is an exciting opportunity and were pleased the manufacturer wanted the input of our members.

(Contest over)

Post by: dk117 on January 16, 2018, 08:26:02 PM: I spent the time to respond in depth. Free pellets is not the motivation. Getting it right is. While I have friends with WiFi, for me it's nice to have only. I'm not sure I want to pay extra for it. Would be interesting to try it out for sure, and probably something I'd get used to and then rely upon.

Thanks Kristin for setting this up. I hope we have critical mass to make this a regular occurrence.

PS if the survey sponsors read this, they need to understand the persona of a pelletfan as opposed to the persona of a Costco/HomeDepot customer looking for a gasser and navigating to a pellet grill. We really are two totally different personas (UX people know what I'm talking about). You're getting survey responses from the top 10% of the pellet grill market. If not the top 1%. It's not indicative of the mass market.

Post by: cookingjnj on January 16, 2018, 09:04:50 PM: Hi Kristin, thanks for making this survey possible for all of us to participate. I am thinking, most on this site, like myself, are more interested in our passion and improving the tools we use more than just getting free pellets. Although one can never not appreciate the value of a free pellet too. Great to see a good partnership you cultivated between the manufacturer and all us good folks here. Knowing just what I know from PF, the owner of this survey is going to get a lot of "quality" feedback.

Post by: Canadian John on January 17, 2018, 09:16:29 AM: That is a really welcomed addition - something new and exciting.. Just a thought. Either a new manufacturer coming on board or an existing one is set on developing a new or improved pit..Either way,we as consumers will be better off.

Post by: Bentley on January 24, 2018, 02:30:25 PM: If this is ever asked of us again, we will need to have some date specific deadlines so we can be punctual with the announcement.

Congrats Just David and the manufacturer will be emailing you directly with details on the pellets. I hope to have a bit more info to share tomorrow. Just need to hear back from our manufacturer on a few questions. Thanks to all who provided feed back.

That is the next contest where the prize is a Lear jet. I wish you could keep these things straight.

They did not want it known for the survey. One of my questions is whether they still wish to remain anonymous.

We may never know who the manufacturer is if a dump truck drops loose pellets on David's driveway. We'll know who it is if the pellets are delivered in retail bags.

I can't control the survey only the length of the PF contest for pellets.

David, just let me know when the dump truck arrives; I'll bring a flat shovel and help you bag! :D

Wait, what? How did I not see this yesterday?! LOL. When I hear from them I will check on if I can say who it is.
Title: Re: Exciting Announcement -- Survey with a Potential Prize!!!!
Post by: Bentley on January 25, 2018, 04:40:47 PM: And I am not you all's parents...but if they do say no, I hope that will be respected now...and if it comes up in the future. Just on the outside chance if other Manufactures want to do something like it, and better yet, they want to give you all freebies, it happens!

Here it is again, that it is my site, and I cant dip my hand in the Honey Pot...Life is a Trip, que no?

It absolutely will. Don't let that worry you, Bentley. I'm actually a pastor so integrity is a big deal to me - their wishes will be honored.

Ironically, I only filled out the questionnaire because I wanted them to have a big pelletfan turnout. ;D
