Just for Fun: Have you named your favorite cooking device(s) and if so, what?

[HotSun]

I was trying to think of a fun post and came up with this question:

Have you named your favorite cooking device or devices, or all of them for that matter, and if so, what did you name them?

I think I'm going to name mine 'The Commander', mainly because typing Kamander all the time is annoying, I really love this device and it has served us well for over 5 years, puffing away day after day. So there you go, 'The Commander' it is.



Follow up question: If you don't have a name, what would you name it?

(Note to mods: if this should go in a different area, please move it)

An old but fun thread:

Really, you just had to bring that old thread up again? 😜😛😁

[HotSun]

Nothing new under the (hot)sun, haha...

[STEbbq]

It does remind me that I need new names for mine since Smokey was sold and Bandit doesn’t have a partner anymore. The PK300 doesn’t feel like a Smokey.

Decisions, decisions.

[bbqLuv]

Comfort your poor nameless PK300. With a name, it will feel more like part of the family.

Buford T. Justice and Snowman come to mind for some reason

[captainlee]

I call my Yoder Yoder....

[Bad Hat BBQ]

Off Set (Rocket Grillz) : Delilah
Santa Maria (Pa's Welding) : Rosalita


NexGrill Cabinet: Pellet Rig
Weber Spirit: The Gasser
Camp Chef Griddle: Flat Top






Rosalita

No names here, and if I was going to name any of them, I wouldn’t. It’s just not my thing. The egg, the griddle, the kettle. The Smokey Joe, but I never use it. (It’s easier to section off part of the kettle with a S&S than it is to fire up the Smokey Joe. Uses less real estate overall, too.)

"So glad I got you ALL in the Divorce!"

[bbqLuv]

Now that is funny.

[jfmorris]

I'm not too into naming stuff like grills. I just call them what they are here... gas grill, griddle, kamado, kettle, offset... maybe by the name plate (Weber Performer), etc.

[mrteddyprincess]

jfmorris I really want to get my two friends with Traegers some stick on magnet signs that say "Easy-Bake Oven."

(When I met Jim for beers in AL last June, Jim gave those two friends a ribbing by asking them how they like their Easy-Bake ovens. The other friend and I cracked up about that for the rest of the trip.)

[jfmorris]

mrteddyprincess haha I hope I didn't insult them too much! Great group of friends you had with you, and I know yall had a blast on your BBQ pilgrimage... I was just poking at pellet smokers in good fun...

[HotSun]

jfmorris , mrteddyprincess , you're cracking me up over here. 😂

[Steve R.]

I don't make up names for my cookers; but when I had my Weber Ranch kettle my wife kept calling it "the spaceship," so I just went with that. 🛸👽

[jfmorris]

What is this "had" versus "have" thing you speak of...

[Uncle Bob]

If I get mad at any one of them their name becomes a spontaneous string of expletives that "would make a sailor blush"............................

[bbqLuv]

I have no idea what the @##$$%^* you are talking about.

[GolfGeezer]

Mine were all named by my beautiful bride: "Really, you need THAT?"

[HotSun]

Haha, funny how they all ended up with the same name: "That'.

[rlozinak]

I have no names for them. Just not that person. I call them what they are. smoker and kettle

[bbqLuv]

I can't decide on the proper pronoun. My pellet grill, sometimes HE just keeps on trucking, other times SHE is a bit fussy and needs a little more loving. So far, they/them will cook up a great meal.
