    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.

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.

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.
