About Me
My name is Josh, not Joey (surprise), and I reside in Central Ohio. I have been grilling since I could drive, and smoking for around 15 years. Over the past couple of years I have gotten more into just cooking, and really enjoy sous vide and the flat top. I find myself experimenting with different foods and new ways of cooking as an outlet to work stress. I use every piece of equipment I own regularly, with the exception of the electric smoker. That only gets brought out on occasion to make jerky.
My favorite beverage is bourbon. I typically have at least 8-10 bottles open at any given time. While I have favorites, I enjoy sampling new and different varieties.
At my house a flattop is a necessity. But so is the kettle, the stick burner, the cabinet smoker, the gasser, the camp stove, the pizza oven, the fryer...If you find yourself not using an appliance, then sure, get rid of it. I haven't had that problem yet, so I just keep adding new ones.
I have a LSG 20x36 offset, LSG 20x36 pellet, a Weber Performer, a Weber Genesis gasser and 3 burner Blackstone. I may use two on any given day but it depends on what I have going, the weather and my mood. All have their place and the wife is good with that. In fact she was the one that told me last year to order both LSG's and with prices going up and shipping costs going up I am glad I did.

Everyone's suggesting a flat top, save yourself a few bucks and purchase Grill Grates for your PK Go grill or Weber Spirit Gasser. Now you have your flat top grill.
I agree with the addition of a flattop since you were asking what’s missing. 🤣 I love my flattop and cook breakfast on it all at once so it all comes off at same time. Many other things have been awesome on it. Burgers are almost always done on flattop as they’re that good. I have a pellet smoker, and gas grill. There’s many times I’ve smoked something then took it to the flattop for a nice sear afterwards.
Ok, I will say that there is no limit to how many cookers a person can have...I use all of mine and will continue to do so. Here's my breakdown...
2042 Klose offset
Engelbrecht Campfire Santa Maria (sits on top of my Oyler Woodshow Broiler base I got for free because it didn't have the top)
Traeger Pro34 (had to get an extra one to feed my company for an outing they did)
Traeger Pro22
Weber Genesis II (Always believe I'll keep a gasser on hand)
Blacksone 36" griddle (so much fun for fried rice and breakfast)
Blackstone Charcoal kebab grill (Literally only use this because the kebabs rotate automatically and it's amazing & cheap)
Weber 22" MasterTouch
MeadowCreek BBQ42 Chicken Flipper
Walden Backyard Legacy Firepit with Grill top (new Instagram partnership, but fun to use)
Gozney RoccBox
Ooni Pizza Oven (not sure on which model, never used it)
Bayou Classic 9 gallon outdoor deep fryer (gonna go on my new bbq trailer)
Loco Cookers 80 quart pot and burner
Coming soon, 30x96 Reverse flow AJ's Custom Cookers smoker & grill on a trailer (should be picking it up towards the end of April to May)
UDS that a friend made for me in the garage, seldom used but a chicken machine
2 kettles, one with sns
18” WSM
Grilla Chimp
Traeger Tailgater (going to my son)
Camp Chef Tahoe stove. I prefer it over flat tops because of the exposed burners, makes it pretty versatile
Soon to come: OK Joe Bronco thanks to my good &()/*&$-# friends Panhead John, Uncle Bob, DTro, Sid P et al. With an honorary mention to …, …, … man HawkerXP
If anyone’s been wanting a Bronco, now’s the time to buy. Walmart has them online for only $269….Reg. $449. And FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING. I’ve never seen them this cheap in a long time. I think I paid $300. for mine a year or so ago. I was following bkono ‘s current post and he mentioned he saw them there for that price.

Re-reading this thread and realized I said this exactly one week before buying the Bronco that was delivered today. Didn't realize how accurate a comment this was...
I once quoted this gal many moons ago. Don’t remember her name & just threw away the note that I had saved for about 2 or 3 years ago. She is a blacksmith, talkin about her many anvils. She was explaining that each one had specific use.& then finished by sayin "you wouldn’t want just one when ya can have many".
Applys to cookers too! Yessir!
What is it they say? "JUST DO IT!"
