For distributors, consistent supply and reliable lead times are just as important as product quality. Our production system is designed to deliver stable, scalable output while maintaining strict quality standards.
Production Capacity
Our factory has a rated monthly production capacity of 3,000 kamado grills across all sizes, with the ability to scale to 5,000 units per month during peak season with temporary line expansion.
Capacity by Size
- 13-inch: 800 units/month
- 16-inch: 1,000 units/month
- 22-inch: 700 units/month
- 24-inch: 400 units/month
- 27-inch: 100 units/month
Capacity is flexible and can be reallocated based on customer order mix. For example, if a large 22-inch order comes in, we can shift production from slower-moving sizes to meet demand.
Lead Time Reliability
Standard Production Lead Times
- Stock items: 7–10 days
- Standard production orders: 25–35 days
- OEM / custom orders: 35–50 days
- New model development: 60–90 days
Our on-time delivery rate is 96.8%, calculated over the past 24 months across all order types. This is well above the industry average of approximately 85%.
How We Maintain Reliability
- Raw material stock: We maintain 60 days of inventory for all key raw materials, avoiding supply chain disruptions
- Production planning: Rolling 3-month production schedule with firm commitments 30 days out
- Buffer capacity: 15% reserved production capacity for urgent or unexpected orders
- Supplier partnerships: Long-term agreements with key component suppliers for priority allocation
Peak Season Planning
The outdoor cooking industry has strong seasonality, with peak demand from January through April for Northern Hemisphere markets. We work proactively with distributors to manage this cycle.
Peak Season Preparation
- We build finished goods inventory of standard models from November to December
- Raw material stocks are increased by 50% before peak season
- Additional temporary production staff are trained and ready
- Logistics partners are pre-booked for container availability
Best Practices for Distributors
- Place peak season orders by December for March/April delivery
- Provide 3-month forecasts whenever possible
- Consider early-bird pricing incentives for off-season ordering
- Maintain safety stock of your fastest-moving SKUs
