    Hi from a newcomer

    Hi Everyone, I’m up in South East NH, about 15 miles from the ocean. I love cooking on the grill, an old Weber ( rebuilt a few times), at least 3-4 times a week, rain or snow doesn’t matter. The last 15 or so years have tried a few different smokers. I started with a Brinkman barrel water smoker and after it fell apart tried an Oklahoma Joe's with the wood box on the side. I cut and burn wood for winter heat so always have cut offs of different types of wood. Neither of those could keep a steady accurate temperature making it difficult so I went to a Camp Chef pellet smoker. That has been great, set it and forget it and turned out some great meals, (ribs, whole chicken, pork butts even perfect brisket with burnt ends, did some great mixed nuts last week ) but it lacks the smoke taste that I really like on some of the dishes I’ve cooked. I’m looking forward to meeting and talking to everyone about our experiences and ways we can help each other cook better. Thanks, Ed

    Scrabwood welcome to the club. I just got a Pit Barrel Cooker and it is by far my favorite to cook on so far, although it is a cooker that wants to cook at the high end but the flavor and moisture is perfect for all meats. I can not match it with my kettle, pellet, or gas.

              I think we are about opposite corners on the map. Maybe a little colder by you.

                            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

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.
