Lord knows most of us have spent a ton of money on cookers and accessories since joining AR…(and before maybe) I know I have…and I’ve also wasted money on a few things I’ll never use again or turned out to be crap…but, with the wealth of experienced cooks here who will happily give advice and recommendations, most all of my purchases have been money well spent.
So my question to everyone is, besides cookers, what are your most..and least…liked BBQ/Cooking accessories you’ve bought in your lifetime? Something you just can’t live without? Also, what have you bought that you regret? I’ve got a couple.
1. This electric portable burner. I’ve used it maybe twice, just won’t get hot enough for me to get a good sear or to get oil hot enough to fry in. I switched to a single burner butane model…love it! It gets much hotter.
2. This accessory I bought for my Weber Rotisserie. Used it one time last year, was a big pain to put the food on the skewers and then onto the rotisserie. It also dropped a couple of skewers off onto the coals during the cook. That was the one and only time I used it. Probably just gonna throw it away.
3. This one I don’t really regret at all, but I’ve had it a couple of years and have used it maybe 3 times…. My rotisserie for the kettle. I really enjoy the hell out of it when I do use it, but I don’t like cutting up whole chickens when they’re cooked and hot. I’ve done a couple of pork loins on the rotisserie and they came out great, but couldn’t tell much difference than when done on the grate.
HERE’S MY FAVORITES: NO PARTICULAR ORDER
1. The Vortex - I’d never even heard of a vortex until I joined AR. After reading about everyone sing it’s praises, I thought I’d give it a shot. Soo glad I got one. Use it a lot.
2. The SnS Insert for the kettle - I never heard of this one either until joining this money pit.
Used it again just yesterday. Does a fantastic job turning your kettle into a smoker…Thanks Dave Parrish and Huskee.
3. My new Wustof knives. Man, what a pleasure it is using those!
4. Butane countertop portable burner. This is perfect for me to use outside when frying or making blackened ribeyes, searing etc. No more smoke and smells in the house.
5. Gooseneck portable light for the side shelf of my Kettle. Indispensable for me in the winter. No more holding a flashlight. Thanks to my Secret Santa in 2020, Smoking Steve.
6. Battery operated salt and pepper grinders. This is probably my most used accessory…almost every day. Love em. No more having to use both hands for fresh ground pepper.
