Title: Carlise Food Keeper
Post by: jim on January 18, 2008, 04:04:45 pm
Found some on the internet for $159.00 plus frgt -- I went to my local resturant supply house and talked to the gal I deal with all the time ---- she said that they sold here for $275.00, after some discussing that people in BBQ may be interested in the item she gave me a price of --- $187.00 plus tax ---
Do we have any interest?

That's what I thought it was.  I wonder if freight would be more than $30 though.

Not a bad deal.  How long will she offer that deal?

I kind of sprung it on her the other day -- If anyone is coming to the pork and brew, call her pay with a CC and I'll bring them to the Pork & Brew ---- I ran it through my UPS account as a mock shipping and it was $32.00 to Albuq NM

There was a thread about these and Cambros on Basso's BBQ Forum a couple of days ago.  I would love to see one of these or the Cambro in person before buying one. 

We have a couple of thermo-electric coolers that we've been using as holding vessels and they've been working well for us.

I've seen the Cambro's before and they are fantastic.  They hold temps incredibly well.  Hummmm Some of these might be good prizes to give away... I will have to contact these companies and see if they want to help sponsor an event....  ;)

I'm not 100% sure about it but I think David has a Cambro.  He might even bring it out to the comp next weekend.

I bought one of the Carlise holders and freezer tray today,$159 plus $24.78 shipping FedEx to Phx.I have read on other forums that the Carlise in certain cases actually hold temps better than Cambros at a much lower cost.This will come in very handy for comps and events.

Hey Guys,

I did buy Cambro and will have it out there next  weekend.  Everyone is welcome to come on by and take a look,  As my name implies, you can never have enough Toys 4 BBQ'N.  The Cambro really does hold the products well, that at the steamer trays makes it a lot cleaner than the coolers.  I used it at Rawhide and around the house.  At Christmas the dry aged roast was cooking faster than I wanted to serve (Do to my nap  ;D), so I pulled it a little early and held it for four hours.  I came out perfect.

I got one of the Carlisle about 2 weeks ago,I haven't used it yet,but I will, maybe at the Avondale event.It is a well built unit and looks very similar to the Cambros.I am suprised how heavy it is empty(36 lbs.)that sucker will be really heavy loaded with 4 or 5 full pans !

Carlise --- Liz from Taste Buds BBQ uses it everyday for her catering business --- open/close/open/close -- you get the idea --- it's several years old.
Anyone have some data on the Camdro
FYO -- may have a used Carlise in trade for a WSM ----

Here you go....... they hold full size trays.......... this weighs about 36lbs....... the did say if you want items to be held longer than a 4-6 hour period. then go with the cambros.......... but this was $160........ and cambros are over $300.......  this works for me......................

We pulled the trigger and bought a Carlisle today from Restaurant Equippers.  The price was $159.00 + $17.05 FedEx Ground shipping for a total of $176.05.  With this addition, we'll no longer have to pack empty coolers for holding and it will also be a great place to keep food warm for the events where we have People's Choice.

i will have the price on the carlise model xt3000r later to day, the cambro upcs400 $221.25
Title: Re: Carlise Food Keeper
Post by: toys4dlr on March 06, 2008, 10:49:23 am
The 400 is the model of Cambro that I have and it is about 1/3 larger than the Carlisle that others have been talking about.  The retail is over $400.00 and I got it for around $225.00 shipped.  So $221.25 is a good price.
Title: Re: Carlise Food Keeper
Post by: bbqwant2b on March 06, 2008, 12:47:38 pm
the carlisle no.xt3000r-03 is $171.61 the no. pc300n-03 is $189.65  I think they will better that 2 or 3% maybe. The dolly for them runs around $97.00.

I just picked up one of the new Cambro 400 models and WOW is it a nice unit.

Got the Cambro Hand Cleaning station as well, now I should be all LEGAL...  ;D
Title: Re: Carlise Food Keeper
Post by: force on March 30, 2008, 05:09:40 pm
What does the cleaning station have?  How much?

Here is the link to the handwashing station..

http://cool.cambro.com/product_line.aspx?rrn=1&plrn=15

It's just easier to have for the Health dept.  It's really basic, has a place to hold paper towels and a soap dispenser.  It sits on top of one of the 5 gallon insulated beverage dispensers to use for rinsing.

Hey Mike,

The Cambro 400 is the one that I got.  It is really nice and a little bit bigger than the Carlise.  Where did you get the handwash station??  Costco business and I believe the Resturant Depot sell the Cambro beverage units.

What Color Cambro did you get???

Title: Re: Carlise Food Keeper
Post by: Mike (AZBarbeque) on April 01, 2008, 07:33:03 am
I got the brown one from:
 
David Patterson
602-225-2828
National Restaurant supply

I also got the hand wash station there as well.  They are certainly some "Heavy Duty" units.  The only thing I didn't like about the Cambro is that they tried to sell me a caster wheel set to bolt to the bottom of it for easy moving, I like the cart as then I can put the Cambro up on a table if I want.  With the caster kit on, you can't do that.  I think they still sell a cart for it, I am trying to get one.  That will make transporting them so much easier..
Title: Re: Carlise Food Keeper
Post by: toys4dlr on April 01, 2008, 07:38:34 am
You can buy the cambro cart, but they run about 170 buck or so  :o  My new fav place Rest depot is carring them.

I got a moving dolly from Lowes and a tie down strap.  Kinda looks red neck, but it works for 25 buck  ;D

What did the Cambro run from David???  I have been thinking about adding another one to the collection.  I found mine online for about 240 delivered.
Title: Re: Carlise Food Keeper
Post by: Mike (AZBarbeque) on April 01, 2008, 07:48:14 am
I got it for $231 and I had to pick it up, so for $240 delivered to your door, that's not too bad.

I like your idea of the cart from Lowes, whatever works..  The think I like about a dolly though is that it doesn't take up much room so I can store it out of the way.  I'm sure I could use a furniture dolly and get the same results.
