I added a link to them. They are real handy. Panhead John

I have absolutely beat the hell out of them. I have run them over a couple times, lost them more than once, left them outside for years......they will not die. I used them today. LOL. It's like an old penny.

[Carolyn]

Tongs are discontinued. Too bad. I am looking for some good ones. There are some similar ones available.

[Spinaker]

Dang! However, I am pretty sure these are the same thing, just painted a different color. See 👇

Grill grates, thermapen, various knives and implements of cooking, the WSM 22” although it came with the DigiQ and fan.

[Spinaker]

I melted my GGs and I never replaced them. I loved using them on the griddle side. I feel like they are best used on a gasser.

[synodog]

Spinaker I’ve now done carne asada twice on the flat side of the GG and love it so much I may never turn them back over.

[Spinaker]

Yep, I never did either. It’s a game changer.

[Spinaker]

BBQ Tongs Carolyn The thing that really makes these nice is that you can operate them with one hand, if need be. You have a pretty serious mechanical advantage, so it is easy to pinch logs, coals etc.

I was thinking it was the “what are you drinking thread”……..😉😁

[Spinaker]

No wonder you poked your head in here

[Jerod Broussard]

Those BIG tongs. Use them to load wood in my vertical.

[Spinaker]

Yeah, they are awesome.

[Spinaker]

These babies are 15 years old! Beat up, real bad but they still work great! Jerod Broussard

[Jerod Broussard]

Dang.

[Richard Chrz]

Summit & Gozney Arc Xl

but truly FireBoard, B&B briquettes, Rancho Gordo, Allepo pepper, SNS stainless easy spin grates….. Sous Vide, ….

[Panhead John]

The Weber Summit has got to be one of the finest looking cookers out there.

[Richard Chrz]

Panhead John it really is built well too. I’m impressed enough that I’m selling my 22 WSM and saving for a second one.

And yes, they look good, which helps.

[Panhead John]

No doubt about the build quality from what I’ve read here! But damn they’re pretty! 😂

[DavidNorcross]

All things Grilla!

Hello??!! Pretty much everything I own (cooking wise) is because of this site. Favorites? I’d say the review of the Primo XL got me started. It’s still the cooker I love and use the most and a big part of why I joined the Pit. Thermapens bc of reviews/everone tslking about them. I use that virtually every day. Jerod Broussard got me into ChefSteps and by extension my Sous vide. And SheilaAnn got me to buy my favorite cookbook Sunday Dinners at Luques. I’d never have found that w/o her recommendation. Seriously, this site has really influenced my cooking. I was an enthusiastic duffer prior to the pit. I am definitely way better now.

[Panhead John]

You da man JC!

Last fall, I learned here that Academy had Pit Barrel Cookers, the PBX, on sale for $150. I was very happy with that find.

[Michael_in_TX]

I remember that!
