I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

Kathryn, Th' ribs were tasty, all, but drier than I would have preferred; I let them go a while too long...
Lesson learned, which is th' whole point of a test cook...
Yes, indeed, I had fun!
First fire, no thermos, total darkness...
Loves me a challenge!

PBCDad I could see a Jambo in that mix. IF I give in and get a stick burner. Thing is, I love my Hasty-Bake and my WSM .... I'm not convinced I need another cooker.
