    Checking in from FL

    I've been around for a few years, but have never posted...mainly playing voyeur for opinions and techniques. I recently moved to Riverview FL and the movers lost my COS (I don't know how that even happens) and damaged my PBC. Luckily I've had my 22" Kettle for charcoal grilling and my Char-Broil gas burner for the weeknight cooks. I just got the PBC going again and just bought an Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn so I'll be modifying it as I assemble it and hopefully have something to offer the group through that experience. Thanks for sharing and letting me look over your shoulders and learn. I'll try to contribute now that I've 'broken the seal' on posting!

                      Welcome to The Pit from Madison, WI. We look forward to your participation. My guess would be your "lost" cooker was "found" and is cooking for a family member or friend of one of your movers.

                        I have ZERO doubt about that!

                        Looks like we share a couple passions. I'm an Air Force pilot and obviously love BBQ. Tell me you're into classic cars and we'll get along just fine!

                        Two of my pilots are retired Air Force. I am director of maintenance. Who doesn't like classic car and classic aircraft!

                          Welcome from Colorado ... you'll definitely want to replace the PBC (not so sure about the COS, though )

                            To late...I just assembled (and mod'd) an OK Joe's Longhorn this afternoon! Haha. I researched the big boys, but I'm in for less than $450 including mods right now. Especially with moving every few years, I don't want my lifetime pit to 'get lost'.

                        The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted


                        Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart 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 22″ Pro Cart a viable alternative.

                        Grilla Pellet Smoker proves good things come in small packages

                        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.

                        Built around SnS Grill’s patented Slow ‘N Sear charcoal kettle accessory, this 22-inch kamado is a premium ceramic grill that brings true 2-zone cooking to a kamado.

                        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’.

                        Comprehensive Temperature Magnet With 80+ Important Temps

                        Amazingribs.com temperature magnet
                        Winner of the National BBQ Association’s product of the year award. This 8.5″ x 11″ magnet contains more that 80 benchmark temperatures for meats (both USDA recommended temps as well as the temps chefs recommend), fats and oils, sugars, sous vide, eggs, collagens, wood combustion, breads, and more. Although it is not certified as all-weather, we have tested it outdoors in Chicago weather and it has not delaminated in three years, but there is minor fading.

                        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.
