    Cool 1953 Newspaper Article re: Grant Hastings and Hasty-Bake

    Interesting and fun .... in 1953 you could buy a Hasty-Bake for $129.99. That would be about $1275 in today’s dollars. Found it on a Hasty-Bake forum :-)

    Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker


    This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175o to 350oF and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.

    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 because temperature control is so much easier.

    Finally, A Great Portable Pellet Smoker

    Heat Resistant Gloves With Extra Long Sleeves Hold The Hot Stuff

    If you're using oven mitts at the grill, it's time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder's gloves. They're heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned.

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


    The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. 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.
