jark87 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 6 hours ago, John Setzler said: this site is going to shut down in short order anyway Boo! Very sorry to hear that, John. I only found this site a year ago, shortly after getting my KJ. There’s no way I’d be enjoying it so much had I not found the gurus! Regardless of what you do with the site, know that you’ve helped me and many others, I’m sure. A.O. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you like the site to be free...or free of ads? A few ads to keep this site running is no prob at all. In the past I have been more than happy to donate to the cause and would be more than willing to do so again as I am well aware that is an expense as well as a lotta effort to keep this place up and running. You want HBO...gotta pay, want ABC...gonna be ads. Boater and jark87 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is something on ABC I want to watch I record it so I can watch later and zip through the commercials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, I really hope that you don't have to shut down the site! I have learned so much about Kamado cooking from you and the other Gurus on this site! Hey I don't even know if I would have been able to use my Akorn without all the mods and tricks I found here. I have noticed a few more ads than in the past, but I consider it a small price to pay for all the information available here. A lot of people want something for free regardless of how much work someone else puts into it. TKOBBQ and Boater 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitcaster Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Don’t get to get on here as often as I would like to. However, I have learned SO much on here. It has truly made my kamado cooking experience so much better!! I really appreciate all you do @John Setzler!! Having ads is a small price to pay for all the amazing content!! Thank you!!

adm Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 On 4/30/2022 at 3:35 PM, John Setzler said: There have always been google ads on this website. Maybe you were using a browser that blocked them or something. Those who contributed money when I was taking donations to help pay for the price of keeping this site running were put into a group that doesn't have ads displayed. Ads display at the top, bottom and after the first post in threads. It's part of how I can afford to give you this website without having to ask you for money. John, I for one would be happy to pay $20 a year if it helps. No ads for contributors, ads for freeloaders.
