    Introduction

    Hello from Central Coast of California.

    I have owned a Webber Kettle for about two months, a GMG pellet cooker for about 6 months, a Pit Barrel Cooker for about two weeks. I have only been grilling and smoking on a mom gas grill for about 6 months.

    My favorite cooks so far have been: Turkey breast, pork butt, chicken, and St. Louis pork ribs. If I had to choose my top two it would be ribs and chicken.

    I got a 9 lb brisket flat for Christmas and it will be my first brisket.

    I have been studying up have the science of bbq and grilling by Meathead.

    my current project is perfecting my own signature all purpose rub using Paul Kirk’s championship rubs and sauces as a guide.

      No sh€t I actually was in a commercial with him way back in the early 80’s. Cool dude. And really not that tall. I’m a couple of inches taller. 😁
      Great memories though. 👍

                          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. Our Fave.

                          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.
