    Brand new member introduction

    Happy New Year everyone. Looking forward to more gatherings with friends and family around the grill in 2021! I live in Cranberry Township, PA, about 20 miles north of Pittsburgh. I see there are a few Club members located near me, but haven't figured out if/how I can identify them to send a message. Although I've grilled for most of my adult years, I consider myself a novice. As I am about to retire after 50+ years in the workforce, I look forward to learning new skills and spreading my wings in all things bbq and also landscaping. Especially looking to learn about smoking. I just joined yesterday (received a gift subscription from my son) and can't wait to meet people and share recipes. Currently own a Weber Summit Series gas grill.

                              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

                              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.

                              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.
