    Hello everyone my name is Dave.

    Long time "go-toer" to this page. Just recently decided to join the Pitmaster Club. I've been barbecuing now for about 4 years now and as confident as I am about my product(s), I realize that I don't know it all and I still have much to learn. I look forward to the all the exchange in ideas and information that pass along through this forum. It is my intent to pick everyone's brain to understand their school of though and experience. Can't wait to hear what everyone has to say!

    Thanks,
    Dave

                  • We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

                    Welcome Dave! We have quite a few Daves, military, and former military in The Pit (I'm a Dave and USAF separated).

                    First order of business is for you to check out the welcome channel and read up on completing your signature. We want to know all about your cookers and thermometers and your signature is the best way to share that info. After that, take a look around and as soon as you can post pics of your cooks!

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

                          the good one grill
                          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.

                          Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

                          Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                          The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

                          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.

                          Grilla pellet smoker

                          Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees.
