    Hello

    I'm a newbie in the world of 'smoking'. At present I have what I understand is a sub-standard grill given to me as a gift. (the dreaded Char-griller gas/charcoal with a side firebox). I've really enjoyed trying several of the recipes here on Amazing Ribs, and can't wait to 'graduate' to a more quality cooker. I guessing the reason my grill is inferior is because it leaks so much and is a real chore to keep the temps up (or down), however I've enjoyed the challenge and have had several 'high fives' for the results. Thanks to all here at Amazing Ribs for sharing their expert advice and delicious recipes!

    I've only been around here since November and having a great time and Q'ing quite a bit and learning a lot. It's a great place and I would not have had such success without fellow pit members.

            Welcome aboard! I smoked for quite some time on a leaky Charbroil horizontal offset. They're a pain in the butt, they need extra attention, and they're inferior. But they'll still turnout some darned fine BBQ! Heck, a couple of beers and some friends in the backyard and it ain't so bad at all.

              Thanks! I actually don't mind all the 'tending', but I can see how it will get old quick! Love to cook for my family and friends, we have a blast every Sunday.

          Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

          The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

          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.

          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.

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.

          Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?


          The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it’s easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.
