John Setzler Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Thanks everyone Some of the existing Man Cave Meals videos will be moving to the new channel. The rest will be taken offline as part of this agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bferne Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Wait it out a couple of days if you can, give me a chance to watch them all. John Setzler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Setzler Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 It might be a couple weeks before they all come offline. It will be a minimum of about 10 days before anything comes offline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy boy Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Congratulations John. I've been wondering how long it was going to take for KJ to hire you. I will continue to support you by purchasing KJ products and helping to pay your salary! John Setzler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teajunkie Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I used a Firefox YouTube downloader plugin to download all the Man Cave Meals videos that I wanted to be able to view at any time later. John Setzler and bhall7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodman Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Smart move on Kamado Joe's part. Your videos are wayyyyy better than the videos Kamado Joe has by the "Grateful Griller". ManCaveMeals really got me into cooking and I learned so much. Thanks to you John for your contribution to my dinner table--I'll be following your new venture for sure. Thanks again for all your hard work. John Setzler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbque Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Maybe Kamado Joe should go ahead and swap out my vision classic for the big joe as part of this agreement, John. POOLGUYINCT and John Setzler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Now with the addition of your considerable talents, Kamado Joe becomes a REAL player in the kamado arena. Watch out BGR and Primo! I think you deserve all the success that comes your way ... you've worked hard for this and you've earned it. Very, VERY, nicely done, John. And of course, I'll be following you in every aspect of your new endeavor! Thanks for all you've done and all you continue to do for us! KUDOS! This couldn't have happened to a nicer man.

rwalters Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 A bit late as I just saw this post,... absolutely thrilled for you. CONGRATULATIONS!! And yes, I will see you at the KJ site :-) John Setzler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 So will you have to shut down the Man Cave Meals videos that you have already made? That was Meat Head's choice--publish a cook book and shut down his whole web site or go with what he has. In his case he chose to keep the Amazin Ribs site. Actually, he did eventually find a publisher that would let him do both. The book is currently expected to be released in spring 2015. http://www.amazingribs.com/meathead/the_book.html John Setzler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 It sounds promising for you, and I know you have to do what you have to do in the way of Mancave Meals. I'm just a bit perplexed as the KJ's reasoning for shutting down the Mancave videos. The success if MCM was, for the largest part, due to its association with the Chargriller Akorn Grill, a mass produced entry level Kamado that, more than likely, sold more than 10,000 units a year, worldwide. KJ sells several hundred grills per year, but an educated guess says they might do 10% the volume of Chargriller, so it stands to reason you might get 10% the viewing audience of Mancave Meals. I would think that the smart money would be to let those Akorn Videos continue, and keep attracting a percentage of those several thousand Akorn buyers in the course of a year, and know that KJ will receive a substantial amount of business from these owners down the road, when they decide to upgrade their Kamado, as witnessed time and again here on this forum.

SmoothSmoke Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm a bit saddened for you John. Not by your actions but by some of the comments that some people left on the video. I just hope you dont get down because of them. Stay the course and keep doing what you're doing as you've shown to be successful at it. I wish you continued success and longevity on your new endeavour. Jack., John Setzler and chunky chips 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the chargriller numbers but your numbers on KJ sales are WAY low. KJ sells a lot more than your chargriller number posted here in a year. chunky chips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
