Title: Help from a Canadian is requested
Post by: eyevandy on June 14, 2016, 06:51:07 AM

I need a Korean BBQ insert and I can't even find a used one. It's looking like this is my last hope:

https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.original-gourmet-bbq-system-korean-barbecue-insert.1000797491.html (https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.original-gourmet-bbq-system-korean-barbecue-insert.1000797491.html)

They won't ship to the US so I'm wondering if someone will act as my middleman and re-ship the box to me? I could even throw in the cost of a couple of beers for your trouble. I'll still be better off than paying the $200+ the Amazon sellers want. Assuming that HD's listing isn't incorrect which wouldn't be surprising considering how these inserts have vanished from the face of the earth.

Thanks.

Try these guys;

10 bucks cheaper, and I think they'll ship to the US.


Edit.

They have it in stock, but don't ship to the US.

If I worked for BBQ World and some polite and respectful American asked for help shipping to the US, I'd try to help. So I sent them an e-mail and told them I would sing their praises here if they came through for me. Thanks Darko.

If it doesn't work out, let me know. I'll get one for you & ship it out.

Interesting.  I have CI skillet and a grill basket type thing   ( https://www.amazon.com/Grilling-Arctic-Monsoon-Accessories-Vegetables/dp/B01BY8DM9C/ref=lp_3742141_1_14?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1466001455&sr=1-14)
What does the Korean BBQ insert do differently?

So? Did you have any luck?

Looks like BBQ World has one for me, but haven't finalized an order yet. I have learned a lot about how much it costs to ship Canada -> US though.

Not sure if you ever considered other option, but you can get authentic one with same design Weber copied at your nearest Korean Supermarket for lot less money. Not sure if it will be cast iron or  coated steel.   It might be worth checking it out.

My Korean BBQ arrived from BBQ World in Toronto. They are awesome people and if I am ever near one I will make sure to stop in their store, it sounds like a big deal. It cost me about $75 shipped. For a new one I am not too sad about that, although just considering what it is I spent a lot to get it.

Thanks Darko, your post made all the difference. I thought I had searched every online store that could ship to me.

I'll write up a post with some pics after I use it.
