    Smokin' @7000' in Colorado

    Thought it was about time to join and not feast on all the free stuff! Always striving for that perfect Smoke! I Grill/Smoke year round, not below 25 though. My equipment of choice is my 640 Yoder Pellet grill. When time is not an issue so I can babysit, my Gateway Drum Smoker is coming in a close second.
    Next on the list is an offset smoker that I'm researching now. Hope to get some directions from others on the site as what I should be looking for as well, as where to "Hide It", from my wife!
    It is going to be 72 in Colorado Springs today, a couple of whole chickens going on this afternoon.
    Regards

          Welcome from Maryland. We have some members that also cook at high altitudes and I'm sure they will be along with some good advice. I live next to the ocean so I have nada to add.

              Welcome from a bit further up the hill. I am pretty sure I can see the smoke from the top of the peak...

                        We recently moved from Monument (on top of Palmer Divide) and were at 7600'. Less oxygen meant fires didn't get as hot. It always took longer than any recipes because of the lack of oxygen. Gave "low and slow" a new meaning.

                              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.

                              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.

                              Thermapen One Instant Read Thermometer

                              The FireBoard Spark is a hybrid combining instant-read capability, a cabled temperature probe, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. We gave Spark a Platinum Medal for pushing the envelope of product capability while maintaining high standards of design and workmanship.

                              Compact Powerful Sear Machine For Your Next Tailgater


                              Char-Broil’s Grill2Go x200 is a super-portable, fun little sizzler made of heavy, rust-proof cast aluminum. The lid snaps shut. Grab the handle and you’re off to the party! Char-Broil’s TRU-Infrared design produces searing heat while reducing fuel consumption. A 16 ounce LP gas canister is enough to keep you flipping burgers for hours.

                              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 InfraredZone


                              GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily moved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

                              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.
