Whether or not PK Grills are made in the US or not?

That’s the thing Pat, they won’t answer the question directly, I’m hoping someone that has one will look at the box or paperwork.

And the lack of response speaks too.

Well, if they're skirting the question from a phone call, you have your answer.

May be "assembled" in the USA using components from elsewhere, I bet.

on edit: mph33 just bought one. Shoot him a PM.

I could be wrong, but I thought the original PK is still made in the USA, but the 360 is not.

Jeremy, While this doesn't directly answer your question here is a list from BBQ Depot of USA made grills and PK is not on it.

https://www.thebbqdepot.com/blog/whi...de-in-the-usa/

Heres another list that PK is absent from as well

That's a good list, thank ya.
The Weber summit shouldn't be on it. Globally sourced isn't American made. Weber....always looking fer a loophole.

Got a call about 7 last night from California, didn’t answer, message left, it was PK, said they would call me back today.

Guess I’ll be answering unknown calls today, and no, I don’t wanna buy extended car insurance.

The bottom list does say the Original PK is made in America, and it's the only PK grill made in America.

I'm pretty sure all of them, including the OG, is now made in China.
