    Hello from Rhode Island and glad to be part of the PIT crew

    Hi everyone, I am an avid smoker and have been doing it for 15 years. I also have just started cold smoking this year as well. I have an Oklahoma Joe, New Braunfels and a Weber 18" Bullet, with each one having a purpose. I feel you can never stop learning everything here is to Smoking and BBQ, so that's why I chose to become a member on this sight. I am toying around with opening a weekend BBQ spot in the late spring of 2019 down on the water and I feel I could gain a lot from people on this site al ready involved in some kind of BBQ business. Looking forward to learning from all of you.

    Steve

            Welcome from Winnipeg. Good luck if you open the restaurant. Aaron Franklins book is an interesting read about how he got started if you have not already read it.

                              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.
