I'm sure that this has been thoroughly discussed here, but I don't think it can be overemphasized. The folks at Adrenaline Barbecue take customer service to levels unknown in most of the universe. If you haven't done business with them, you will NOT regret doing so. If you have consulted with them on one of their products, you know exactly what I mean.

Plus I followed ABCBBQ Dave's cold grate method on my last porterhouse steaks, and they were freaking perfect. My wife ate a 20oz porterhouse and left nothing but bone - she said she couldn't stop eating it, even though she was full.

Above and beyond customer service for sure. Remember the XR 50 thermometer launch disaster? They were all over that replacing units before some folks even knew there was a problem. I just wish they hadn't discontinued the SNS low profile and not offering a 24" easy spin grate as it has me rethinking a future WSCG purchase.

Yes, too bad you didn't jump on that when it was available. I use my WSCGC Lo-Profile SnS a great deal. I'm glad I have it as part of my WSCGC arsenal. You don't need an Easy Spin Grate for the WSCGC because it doesn't have the detents that the regular kettles do. The WSCGC grate spins easily from the get-go.

ABC customer service is awesome and incredibly timely. I had a Livermoron moment with the XR 50 (totally my fault) and emailed them looking for guidance. They simply replaced the item. I actually feel pretty guilty.

...but I'm not giving anything back...

I'll have em on the lookout next time you email . j/k sometimes we just can't tell if the problem is the unit or the user, and we always assume it's the unit.

Awww shucks folks, I really appreciate you as well! Creating The Pit will always be one of the best things I've done. And it's great to see it's been in good hands since I had to leave. I just couldn't juggle this and running Adrenaline Barbecue Company. Heck, ABC is more than I can handle all by itself!

The SnS LP was never much of a profit making product for us, and it's just gotten much worse lately with prices for metal being what they are nowadays in the US... plus you're better off with our Kamado anyways.

Don't get me wrong ABCBBQ Dave - love your products but I wouldn't own a Kamado of any kind on a bet. Maybe since Amazon is now selling the Weber Summit Charcoal grills the expanded market might make a difference with margins. I can always hope.

Digital Thermometers Are Your Most Valuable Tool And Here's A Great Buy!

maverick PT55 thermometer

A good digital thermometer keeps you from serving dry overcooked food or dangerously undercooked food. They are much faster and much more accurate than dial thermometers. YOU NEED ONE!

Click here for more info on the Maverick PT-55 Waterproof Instant-Read Thermometer Review shown above. It may be the best value in a thermometer out there

If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

slow n sear

The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

Bring The Heat With Broil King Signet's Dual Tube Burners

the good one grill

The Broil King Signet 320 is a modestly priced, 3-burner gas grill that packs a lot of value and power under the hood. Broil King's proprietary, dual-tube burners get hot fast and are able to achieve high, searing temps that rival most comparatively priced gas grills. The quality cast aluminum housing carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

the good one grill

The Good-One Open Range is a charcoal grill with an offset smoke chamber attached. It is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. The grill sits low in front and doubles as a firebox for the smoke chamber which is spliced on above and behind so it can work like a horizontal offset smoker only better. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

Griddle And Deep Fryer All In One

The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all. Plus it has a built in cutting board, garbage bag holder, and paper towel holder. An additional work table on the left side provides plenty of counter space.

The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers in the hardware stores because temperature control is so much easier. Best of all, it is only $299 delivered to your door!

The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted

NK-22-Ck Grill

Their NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.

Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado. Beautifully designed and completely portable. Meathead says it is his preferrred grill.

The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing.

Professional Steakhouse Knife Set

Our founder, Meathead, wanted the same steak knives used by steakhouses such as Peter Luger, Smith & Wollensky, Morton's, Kobe Club, Palm, and many others. So he located the manufacturer and had them stamp our name on some. They boast pointed, temper-ground, serrated, high-carbon stainless-steel, half-tang blades with excellent cutting edge ability. The beefy hardwood handle provides a comfortable grip secured by three hefty rivets. He has machine washed his more than 100 times. They have never rusted and they stay shiny without polishing. Please note that we do not make, sell, or distribute these knives, they just engrave them with our name.
