    Hello to the "bbq science group"

    Hey you all! My name is Dustin and I currently live in Albuquerque, NM. I currently have a Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 that I smoke, grill, and sear on. I prefer to smoke meats, I just love to go low and slow. It is always rewarding and worth the wait! I also have a Weber Genesis, which I love, but I wasn't getting the awesome flavor of charcoal and smoke.

    I love this site. I love how everyone goes deep into the science behind grilling. I am a nerd and I like to know why behind everything. I especially love all those mythbusters, I have always thought some of them have been nonsense. Instead of doing the trial, I wanted to jump in and pay for the membership because the resourse has been deffinately worth it!

    I look forward to learning tons!

    -Dustin

      Welcome from Nevada. You came to the right place, as it's often PhD level stuff when folks really get to explaining.

          Welcome to the Pitmaster Club! That 560 sure is smooth, isn’t it?

          Also, it's very important that you:

          Give us an email address you actually use. You can check the email we have on file for you by clicking your name in the upper-right, then User Settings, then the Account tab. It’s tied to your Pitmaster Club account as well as our payment processor, Stripe. Don’t worry though, you can change it by simply visiting https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/pi...il-request.php

          Add the domain AmazingRibs.com to your email safe list. We NEVER spam!

                      Welcome to The Pit Dustin. I had an algebra teacher many years ago that constantly said that "Algebra is so much easier if you understand it.". Same goes for cookin'.

                        • I cook on a 15-year-old Kamado #9, a huge beast nearly 6 feet tall and with black ceramic tile on the outside. I of course love smoked meats of all kinds, but also like quick cooks like chicken portions, pork tenderloins and fish. Really into cooking of all kinds. Just added an outdoor fire pit that has grilling capability and limited Santa Maria-style grill raising and lowering.

                              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.
