    I've been a Pitmaster Club member for over a year, and am just now getting around to my introductory email. The essence of low and slow, I guess. I have a bunch of hobbies, all of which require some kind of equipment and tools. My current stable of cooking tools include Weber and Napoleon gas grills, a Weber kettle, a Camp Fire propane smoker, and my first smoker, a Bradley original to which I added an extra heating element and an in-line thermostat. I first got interested in smoking about ten years ago with a foray into charcuterie, making my own smoked sausage and pastrami. I jumped on the sous vide que train a few years ago, and use the method I learned here for my family-famous ribs - 24hrs @ 150 then heated and charred over charcoal and some wood chunks. Lately I've been making bacon, ribs, steaks (sous vide or reverse sear), turkeys on a spit, and my favorite pastrami. Coming soon will be my first try at jerky. Thanks to Meathead and all y'all for great recipes, technique, and the all-important (to me) science behind it. I've always seen cooking as a chemistry experiment you get to eat!

              Fireman, I’ve asked once before where your picture came from. I know that it’s from one of Mel Brooks’ movies. You have refused to answer me. The wide ass eyes are hilarious. We all know that’s not really you. I demand one of two options for you. Either give us a picture of the real you, or, tell us which movie and character your avatar is from. I think it’s Blazing Saddles. Quit being so mysterious please.😂. Your fans demand answers!

              Panhead John , so ya think that’s not me. I am a bit older now than I was in that picture. There is other evidence throughout the musings of AR.

              So....you say you’re a bit older than that picture? So that means you’re what.....120?

                            Placeholder

                            The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

                            The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

                            Placeholder

                            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.

                            Placeholder

                            The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

                            Placeholder

                            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 Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 is considered by the pros, and our team, to be the single best instant read thermometer. The MK4 includes features that are common on high-end instruments: automatic backlight and rotating display. Don't accept cheap substitutes.

                            Placeholder

                            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.

                            Weber’s Genesis line has long been one of the most popular choices for gas grillers. The new Genesis II E-335 offers solid performance, a sear burner for sizzling heat and an excellent warranty.

                            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.

                            Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

                            Placeholder

                            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.

                            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.

                            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'.

                            Napoleon's NK22CK-C 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 NK22CK-C a viable alternative.

                            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.
