    Cheers from Southeast Wisconsin

    I just paid in today. I’ve been checking out the site for about the last 2.5 years, shortly after I got my smoker. My smoker is a MES 30 I received for Christmas. I also have a Weber gas grill. With my current deck setup, I’m a little reluctant to use charcoal/wood cookers so my Weber kettle is stored in my garage for now.

    I’ve been enjoying the MES and have been pleasantly surprised with most of the results. I probably smoke more pork loins than anything else, but I think the best thing I pulled out of it so far was a pork butt. It was awesome.

    I’m already loving the extra access from the paid membership and am glad I joined. Love the book also.

    Sounds like me, used the site looking for tips for awhile then took the plunge.
    Great people here, there's always somebody to fall on when a cook goes sideways.

      Don’t be afraid of your Weber. More fires are started with gassers than charcoal. Welcome, eat good & have fun!

                      One random quirk I feel like mentioning, I hate onions and onion powder. I omit them from everything I cook.

                        Oh, that’s it! You should have let us know before you asked to join. Now we will have to reconsider. We’ll get back to you.

                      Hi Matt, and welcome to The Pit from NE Florida! I hate onion powder too, but I love onions - go figure. It's time for a leap of faith. Liberate that Kettle! There's nothing going to happen that we all can't handle together

                    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.

                    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.

                    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.
