    Howdy Fired up Folks

    Grew up around South Texas BBQ pits. My uncle was a butcher in small town and had partnership with beer joint next to his shop that had a big 20 ft square stone pit with huge iron lids on pulleys out back. Mostly fired with oak and mesquite.. Rows of chicken, sausage, brisket, pork would be in the pit every day. In bar area, the only light was from the neon beer signs with saw dust on the floor to soak up the spilled beer and the dirt that came off the working mans' boots. Most popular place for miles around. Spent career in Army, overseas tours mostly in Germany hence my user name. Living in Northern Virginia now. Have WSM 22 Smoker and red Weber Kettle 22" which is about 21 yrs old. Thought Meathead's book was great which led me here to Amazing Ribs. If you have some favorites areas of this website be glad to hear about it.

    Welcome from Maryland. My very favorite things about this side of the site are the ideas, tips and recipes from Pit members that don’t make it over to the free side.

    Herzlich willkommen. Mostly I use the "recent posts" search, and probably spend more time in the Show Us What You're Cooking thread than anywhere else.

    Welcome from Wisconsin. Glad you could join us!

    I don't really have a "favorite" section on this side, so can't really recommend one spot or another, but I always enjoy this thread when it pops up.

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.

Groundbreaking Hybrid Thermometer!

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 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 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.
