    Hey Everybody -

        Welcome to the Pit from Dallas, Texas! I cook on a Big Green Egg and have a friend who cooks on a Visions. My recommendation is to master temperature settings and practice low and slow with the most forgiving piece of meat, a Boston Butt, which is usually inexpensive.

            Welcome from Maryland.

            It is always fun and challenging learning a new cooker and learning how to adjust temperatures. No matter how frustrating it can seem at first, you will master it. And, don’t stress if it won’t hold an exact temperature, a range is just fine. If you want to cook at 250 but it sometimes goes down 10 or 20 degrees, and sometimes goes higher than you want, that is normal as you are in still in the range. Have fun!

                            Fireboard: The Ultimate Top Of The Line BBQ Thermometer

                            Fireboard Labs Product Photo Shoot. Kansas City Commercial Portrait and Wedding Photographers --Kevin Ashley Photography
                            With the ability to monitor up to six temperatures simultaneously with either Bluetooth or Wifi on your mobile phone, tablet, or computer, Fireboard is the best digital thermometer we've tested.

                            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 175o to 350oF 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.
