    Howdy from Truman Town!

    Hi folks, I've been lurking here on AR for about a year and just recently joined the pit. What an incredible resource for a guy like me just getting serious about BBQ! I live in Harry Truman's hometown of Independence, MO, just on the east side of the KC metro area. About a year ago I won my local newspaper's "Ugliest Grill Contest" with the beauty pictured below. Turned the gift certificate prize into a Weber Performer Deluxe and haven't looked back.

    Ordered a PBC this week, can't wait to get started with a new piece of cooking gear. Thanks to Meathead and everyone for making AR such a great site!

                            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.
