    Greetings from Southwest FL

    Hello, my name is Rich, and I'm a member of PETA (People for Eating Tasty Animals). As a life long meatatarian there is nothing I enjoy more than a good piece of meat that is cooked right. I've been grilling for years, nothing fancy, just your usual outdoor stuff, but just recently started looking into smoking. I've been doing a lot of research on pellet grills, when I came across this website. I was impressed with the public end, so I decided to spring for the full cut. I will most likely lurk, because I just don't have much to contribute right now, but I appreciate everyone who has come before me to make this site possible. Looking forward to learning how to smoke meats and trying new recipes (something my wife never thought she would ever hear me say, except this has to do with MEAT!)

              Huntington Beach welcomes you sir! Don't be a lurker.

              In the words of a great American Philosopher and Patriot during an interview "Man, I believe we have something to learn from everyone."

              So chime in with a compliment, question or observation. Many of us feel at times we can't offer things to a thread. Sometimes the slightest observation or oddest question make everyone change their direction or way of thinking.

              its all good here. No flame wars.

              Peace out brother.

                          If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

                          slow n sear
                          The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

                          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 Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

                          Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                          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
                          We always liked Grilla. The small 31.5" x 29.5" footprint makes it ideal for use where BBQ space is limited, as on a condo patio.

                          The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

                          Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

                          kareubequ bbq smoker

                          The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

                          Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker

                          masterbuilt gas 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'.

                          The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted

                          NK-22-Ck Grill
                          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. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
