The Questions We Kept Hearing at the 140th Canton Fair

The fair closed on November 4. Rather than list our products again, here’s what buyers actually asked at the booth — the questions say more than a spec sheet does.

“Does it need power?”

No. The flip-lid BBQ pod opens and closes by hand. Nothing to wire, nothing to plug in — which matters if it’s going on a balcony or somewhere without an outlet.

“Will it fit in a container?”

This came up on every pod. The curtain-style unit is fully knock-down: aluminium-plastic (PVC) composite panel shell, curtain front, flat-packed. You get 30 units per 40HQ instead of shipping assembled boxes with air inside. The flip-lid pod is one piece and takes less floor space to begin with.

“How does it hold up outdoors?”

Waterproof and rust-resistant on both pods, UV-resistant on the storage box. For coastal sites we recommend the aluminium-plastic shell over anything painted steel.

“Can I see one before I commit to a container?”

Yes — we ship samples. Most buyers take one sample, put it outside for a season, then order.

“What about the grill?”

The cast iron LPG unit is the simple option: small, light, runs off a standard gas cylinder. It pairs with the outdoor storage box, which holds the cylinder, charcoal and tools so nothing has to live in the house.

For anyone who asked and didn’t get a full answer on the floor: pricing, packing dimensions and loading plans go out this week. Factory visits can be arranged with pickup — just give us a few days’ notice.
