    Hello from Connecticut

    Hi Guys. I have to start by saying that I love some of the conversations people are having on here. Very informative! I appreciate all the experience people have brought to this forum and I'm excited to learn from all of you!

    I have a few different grills for different things, and I'm planning to make a few adjustments as I build my permanent outdoor kitchen. My current cookers are:

    Kamado Joe Classic II
    Char-broil Kamander (metal kamado)
    Pit Boss 820
    Old rusted out vermont castings gas grill that my home's previous owner left me and might be home to a mouse or two

    I usually use the kamander like a charcoal grill... high heat cooking and searing. The Kamado Joe is my smoker, and the pit boss is my weekday cooker or for veggies, side dishes etc. My first smokes were on the pit boss but I will probably replace it with a Grilla OG now that I have other cookers. I'd like to get a gas grill too but that's another post.

    I'm looking forward to being a part of the community. Talk to you soon!

              Thanks! I am going to try and restore it but there is a LOT of rust inside and a couple small holes in the fire box. Ill post some before and after photos to show how it comes out. If I do restore it, the grill will probably end up on Craigslist to support my drop-in grill fund.

                            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 175° to 350°F 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’.
