    Cheers from Maryland!

    Been using this site as a resource since 2011 and figured it was finally time to join in on the fun.
    I'd been casually grilling on my 22.5" Weber kettle since then, when it was stolen during the move to my new house in 2014. Fortunately for me, the previous homeowner gave me his 20 year old kettle with the house. That kept me grilling for the remainder of that summer and I stepped up to a Performer in 2015 and a 1st gen Slow 'N Sear shortly after. That's when I started dabbling in using a kettle to smoke ribs and that's when the spark was lit . I started getting a little more into using the kettle for more than just hot and fast grilling of the usual suspects, and learned (still learning) how to use it for longer cooks of whole chickens and ribeyes after smoking a few racks. Things started getting serious this spring when I upgraded from a Thermoworks ChefAlarm to a Smoke and a Lavatools Javelin to a Thermapen Mk4. If you can't tell, I tend to crack myself up a lot. Looking forward to talking with everyone here in the future about what you're doing and how you do it!

              I miss very few things about living in MD (I grew up there), but this picture is definitely one of them. Even though I live on the Chesapeake Bay in VA, they just don't do crabs that way here.

                            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.
