Wondering about this one. Meathead is a household name in the cooking space. It truly appears they are spinning off that name. I am not suggesting any trademark or branding infringements here, but that could be possible for sure. However, I am just questioning the name in general and wondering why. Just thinking outloud here to be honest.

It is obviously not Meathead and he is not involved as it is Meat Head instead. I would not be surprised if they are aware of Meathead but I doubt Meathead has legal recourse here just as I would have no recourse over my legal name. If the website was offering smoker reviews and advice, then that might be a more questionable area.

I don't think it's an issue for Meathead. But if someone makes a website called Amazingchicken.com or Amazingbeef.com, then it's time to rally the forces. In fact, buying those domains ahead of time might be worth the hassle.Last edited by SmokingPat; July 13, 2021, 04:32 PM.

OK. Somebody had to go first and try the Meat Head Charcoal. I bought the two 22 lb bags for $64.98. Free shipping to California. I will try it and report back. The website made it sound good. Not cheap but not all that spendy for high end lump with, hopefully, not much dust or tiny pieces.
