The Broil King Signet 320 is a modestly priced, 3-burner gas grill that packs a lot of value and power under the hood. Broil King's proprietary, dual-tube burners get hot fast and are able to achieve high, searing temps that rival most comparatively priced gas grills.

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

the good one grill

The Good-One Open Range is a charcoal grill with an offset smoke chamber attached. It is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. The grill sits low in front and doubles as a firebox for the smoke chamber which is spliced on above and behind so it can work like a horizontal offset smoker only better. 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.

Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker

Griddle And Deep Fryer All In One

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. Plus it has a built in cutting board, garbage bag holder, and paper towel holder. An additional work table on the left side provides plenty of counter space.

Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker

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 in the hardware stores because temperature control is so much easier. Best of all, it is only 9 delivered to your door!

The Swiss Army Knife Of Thermometers

Placeholder

The smart folks at ThermoWorks have finally done it: The Swiss Army Knife of thermometers, two in one. Start with the industry standard food thermometer, the Thermapen MK4, (Platinum Medal winner) truly instant (2 to 3 seconds) precise (+ or – 0.7°F). Then they built in an infrared thermometer ideal for measuring the temps of pizza stones, griddles, and frying pans (also great for finding leaks around doors and windows in your house).

The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted

NK-22-Ck Grill

Their NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.

GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone

grill grates

GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, keep small foods from committing suicide, kill hotspots, are easier to clean, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily removed and moved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke to whatever is above. Every gas grill needs them.

kareubequ bbq smoker

Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing.

Professional Steakhouse Knife Set

masterbuilt gas smoker

Our founder, Meathead, wanted the same steak knives used by steakhouses such as Peter Luger, Smith & Wollensky, Morton's, Kobe Club, Palm, and many others. So he located the manufacturer and had them stamp our name on some. They boast pointed, temper-ground, serrated, high-carbon stainless-steel, half-tang blades with excellent cutting edge ability. The beefy hardwood handle provides a comfortable grip secured by three hefty rivets. He has machine washed his more than 100 times. They have never rusted and they stay shiny without polishing. Please note that we do not make, sell, or distribute these knives, they just engrave them with our name.

PK 360 grill

Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

    Hi everyone wondering if anyone has any experience on these rigs. I'm thinking about pulling the pin and buying one of these smokers but can decide between the two. Pros and cons would be great. Thanks

    Looks like this discussion died off, but I'm hoping to revive it. I'm having a mid-life bbq crisis of sorts and I'm leaning hard toward liquidating my GMG Daniel Boone, home-made UDS, and my standard Weber Kettle to create garage space and consolidate into one unit. Much like the original poster here, I've been looking at the The Good Done Open Range and Heritage Ovens, the Meadow Creek PR36 and SQ36, and the Assassin 36 and 48. What I really want is a high-quality charcoal cooker with decent (tailgating for 15-30 people) capacity that I can cook on easily with direct heat or smoke with consistent (and reasonably low) temps for hours and hours when I want to. I'm really intrigued by the Assassin grills, but it would cost $600 just to ship one to me in MT. Meadow Creek and The Good One both have dealers in Colorado, which I could make work. The other option I'm considering is a Weber Performer set up with a SNS and a fan/controller. Thoughts, opinions, recommendations? I don't see much on here about Assassin. Anyone with much experience with Meadow Creek cookers? Hasty Bake is another that I would consider, but the closest dealer is a long ways away . . .

    Oh, and I'd like something that is decently insulated (or just efficient enough) that I can cook on it in the winter. Our tailgates stretch into late November in Montana . . . thanks!

      You may want to consider the M1 cooker as well. Are there cost constraints to consider?

        Well, I have eyed the Good One in the Great Give Away and I think it would make a great versatile grill. I am a Kamado guy at heart, and if you are going to one grill a Kamado does everything well, but isn’t the best at anything. If you are only interested in grilling and low and slow and cold weather cooking isn’t an issue I think the Good One is a great choice. Also, moving it in and out of the garage might be easier with the Good One.

            Bonsey, those ribs look so good that I had to clean the little bit of drool that escaped from my keyboard. Dang!

            thedonald78 I have been successfully able to keep 250°, 275° fer hours, in direct Kansas Territory Summertime sunshine (I won it in August)We had over 100 days of over 100° temps here, last Summer...

            I don't cook so low as 225°, but have no doubt one could do so...

            Still amazed at how very long this cooker can hold a steady temp, makes life purty smooth...

            I'd like to stay in the $1500 or under range, but up to $2000 isn't out of the question if it feels right. I have looked briefly at the M1. Looks nice and certainly innovative.

              Concerning the Meadow Creek PR 36: I own two of them as I cook for large groups. I find it to be a quality unit. My previous experience base is Weber 26", 22", 18' grills, original PK grill, Weber Smokey Mtn. smoker, and a number of off set smokers. The PR 36 is versatile. Be sure to order the pull out drawer. This makes loading charcoal much easier and ash clean up less of a chore. One word of caution is to keep it covered if it is stored outside as it will rust. The temperature gage is reasonably accurate (tested vs maverick digital), The cooking surface area (stainless) is large enough for effective indirect grilling. Buy the second rack for additional space as it comes in handy.

                I like that beast. Then again, I like all of these cookers and I think I need one of every model.

                Have you cooked a pig on the PR36? I’m in the same boat as the OP, consolidating a GMG Jim Bowie and 26” kettle down to one unit. Can’t decide between the PR36 or PR42, and want space to do a pig.

              Holey jumpin….you cooking for an army there.
              Looks good none the less.
              Must be quite the unit, those look like pneumatic tires, most units have cheapo plastic tires unless those an owner installed upgrade.
