    Greeting from Virginia

    Just joining, getting ready to retire, I have a large family and a pool in the back yard so you can guess where everyone ends up on the weekends. I have been grilling and smoking for many years and love to learn new things. Currently I have Weber products (Kettle Grill, Slow and Sear, Gas grill, and Smokey Mountain Bullet smoker) I am looking at a MM G-9. Looking forward to improving my skills and recipes.

              By God, Bonsey, you got that right. I spend lots of my time these days tying to scheme out a way to sit it down comfortably. Seems like that comfortably part is holding me up a bit though. But it is coming, I don’t want to die in the saddle, course my saddle is a desk chair lol

                      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?.

                      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

                      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.
