    Hello from Bristol, England

    Hi, new to the pit after reading the main site for a while, thought it was only right to introduce myself before asking all of you lots of questions.
    Been trying to up my grill game for a couple of years on a weber 57". Just bought a Slow n. Sear that I'm going to be trying out this weekend for the first time and pretty damn excited to see what that can do.

    Anyone else from the West Country here?

                Welcome to The Pit aguycalledadam! Thanks for your support here. Happy to make more friends from distant lands! I am not from the West country, England or USA, as I am east/central/northern USA in Michigan....but I hope we can be friends regardless! Enjoy that SnS, following ABCbarbecue.com's lighting instructions and other techniques makes it really easy to get stellar BBQ. I'm using mine as we speak on some pastrami.

                          I would hope that he supports his local club Bristol City Football Club. Currently 4 points above the drop in the League Championship. They still need all hands on deck to stay up.....

                      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’.

                      GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone


                      GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily rmoved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

                      The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


                      The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                      Finally, A Great Portable Pellet Smoker


                      Green Mountain’s portable Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker is one mean tailgating and picnic machine. But it’s also gaining popularity with people who want to add a small, set it and forget it pellet smoker to their backyard arsenal. And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.

                      Heat Resistant Gloves With Extra Long Sleeves Hold The Hot Stuff

                      If you’re using oven mitts at the grill, it’s time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder’s gloves. They’re heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned. Our Fave.

                      The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


                      The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. 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.
