I love mine. I've had it since about 2005 or so.
I ordered from Bob at kck.com, http://kck.com/bbq/info/thebk.htm . This cooker is the one I have. Bob was great to deal with and the folks at Kingfisher were kind enough to ship mine to FL direct from Kingfisher, OK.

I'm considering buying one from them next year, they're only a 45 minute drive from my front door. :o)

Prices are good, fit and finish leaves quite a bit to be desired....

Depends on what you look for. Mine is built like a tank and has never failed. I'm still using the original rotisserie motor and belt. The baffle is starting to need replacement but I've run a whole lot of oak, pecan, hickory, and other hard woods through it.

Everything "fits" and like Mr. Henry Ford opined "You can have any color you want as long as it's black". I'd buy another but don't need to.

They're good cookers. One of my best friends used to have one. I have cooked catering loads on them several times. I'd happily cook on one again. They are fairly priced.

But if you have seen a Horizon, Klose, or Lonestar, you know they are a different animal. While functional, Kingfishers don't meet the fit and finish standards of these other brands.

I've cooked on all the high priced cookers. I'd own several if I could afford them.

Matt was asking if anyone had experience with 'em. I have and do.
