    Hello, glad to be a member. I have followed Meathead and his techniques since about 2009, but just joined the pit. I love this site. I tell everyone it is peer-reviewed, evidence based Bbq.

I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

                            • Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
                              1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
                              2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
                              3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
                              4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
                              5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
                              6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
                              7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
                              8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
                              9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
                              10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
                              11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
                              12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
                              12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!

                              Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...

                              I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
                              I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.

                              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.

                              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.
