    Love my Smoky Joe Silver, best $15 BBQ tool ever. For 2 steaks, 2 burgers, 2 dogs, 2 half chickens, etc, it sure beats firing up the BGE or 22".

    If it's in a casing that counts as a veggie right? I think there were jalapeños in there too, though technically it's a fruit but it's green.

    fzxdoc , I really (emphatically so) think that ya' would greatly enjoy/benefit from havin' a Smokey Joe as part of yer cooker lineup...
    They are amazin' lil' cookers, most often overlooked...
    Their loss, my gain!
    Talkin' bout a Quick Fix fer th' Lack o' BBQ Blues? Well, there She sets...
    Since I hold ya' in such Very High Regard, I'll utilize this response to answer th' question I posed, above:
    Anybody, besides me, notice anything 'bout th' sliced food pics? Jus' curious...
    In alla yer life, in alla th' posts, on alla th' BBQ websites, how many 'smoke rings' ya' ever seen, comin' offa a Smokey Joe?

      Not all meat needs a smoke ring. Many a crispy crust, seafood, pork and beef I've cooked outside with no smoke ring needed or desired but great eating.. I'm with FireMan and always with fzxdoc. Have you seen her pastrami? Just saying.

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.

Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker

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.

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.
