    You know your a pitmaster when.....

    An 18 wheeler doesn't cut it, so you call in a 22 meter low loader to move your pits. 17meter long deck on the trailer. (that's about 1 1/2 shipping containers long). Girls and boys in New Zealand are in for a surprise. 66 day sailing, Buenos Aires / Hong Kong /Auckland. 17 tons of pits there.

          I do think you have enough support on the pit you could deliver a truckload to the central US for Amazing Rib members that would purchase and pick up. I only say central US because it’s hey closest to everyone...I just happen to live within a few miles one of the most major crossroads of the US.

            I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I put it in my food.

            One cannot have too many grills.

              Ahumadora, you are about to turn me into a stick burner fan. And where I live there is darn little wood to do it right.

            • I cook on a 15-year-old Kamado #9, a huge beast nearly 6 feet tall and with black ceramic tile on the outside. I of course love smoked meats of all kinds, but also like quick cooks like chicken portions, pork tenderloins and fish. Really into cooking of all kinds. Just added an outdoor fire pit that has grilling capability and limited Santa Maria-style grill raising and lowering.

                        The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

                        the good one grill
                        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.

                        Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

                        Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                        The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

                        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.
