Hello folks! I just joined today, but I've been grilling for 30+ years and smoking for the last 4-5. I'm currently using a Weber Kettle and a Weber Spirit for grilling and a WSM for smoking. My wife thinks I have too many cooking devices in the backyard but I want more...
Recently, I've gotten the stick burner bug and I figured this would be a great place to learn more about the equipment and maybe pick up a few tips and tricks along the way. Looking forward to talking to y'all, learning some new stuff, and sharing a few things I've learned over the years!
Cookers:
Large Big Green Egg with a Ceramic Grill Store rack system, and the SnS setup.
Weber Genesis SA-E-330 LP INDIGO with SS Grates, Weber Crafted frame kit, baking stone, griddle (2/3), all from Ace Hardware.
For the first time in a long time I have no kettles as I gave them all away.
Everything Else:
SnS #3 with certificate. I was their first customer.
Sous Vide equipment.
SnS and Thermoworks instant read and leave-in thermometers.
Grill Grates for BGE.
Kingsford Blue Bag, Weber lighter cubes, Weber charcoal chimneys.
Rubs with salt: Meat Church Holy Cow.
Rubs without salt: Home-mixed versions of previously sold SnS Grills Rocky's Rub and Not Just for Beef using their recipe. SPOG.
Spices: Lots of 'em.
Welcome to The Pit TexasMike. We're glad you're here. We have a term we use (MCS) that means More Cooker Syndrome. I call that normal around here. You're going to fit right in. See you around the pit!

Whoa TexasMike, welcome aboard! It is interesting that you come to us already with the affliction of MCS. It has been proven there is nothing to cure it. You can smoke all you want & grill all you want, but it is hopeless! All you can do now is sit back, take a deep breath, & enjoy the ride!
