With head held in shame, I admit I bought a Rib-O-Lator years ago.

Meater. Hands down...

Other than the (unbelievable and borderline unforgivable) wait to get it, I've actually really enjoyed my Meater Block. I hate having a bunch of wires coming out of my grill and Meater fit the bill for any larger cuts. And I like having the graph in the app so I can look back after and see how consistent I kept the grill temp and whatnot. There's definitely some more things I'd like to see in the app (area for notes and whatnot) but overall, the actual functionality of it has been great. -
Huh, I've had great luck with mine. Tested them against my semi-cheap 40 dollar wireless probe (it was an "Inkbird," not cheap but definitely not high end, I found it read consistently high), my Javelin and my Thermapen and the Meater was quite accurate. I've done 20+ cooks with ithem and the results have been spot on. The only thing I didn't like was that they're really too big for individual steaks unless they're huge. But for roasts/pork butts/etc they've been amazing.

I didn't technically "buy" this, but my in-laws gifted me a never used Williams Sonoma grill tool set when they downsized. Definitely well-made, but too heavy to be practical. I have pretty stout hands, wrists and forearms, but I can see myself dropping that stuff repeatedly unless I focus on gripping those polished rosewood handles.Comment

I’ve used it before, but almost never use it. An injector. Not that I’ll never use it, I just hardly find the use for it. Maybe I’ll get adventurous soon.Comment

"...I do like blowing air through bottom of my chimney. ..."
scottranda -- There's a funny reply to this somewhere, but I can't figure it out.
FireMan -- help!

Ah yes...I HAD to have one of those! LOL
It sorta works for bringing coals back from the dead in the WSCG...but perhaps that’s because of the limited airflow compared to more traditional grills. My other grills pretty much just roar until they burn themselves out...
Still, it mostly just sits on the bottom shelf and only comes out "when company is over." LOL It does make for interesting convos.
Not something I would purchase again...or recommend.

Beer can chicken holder. I’m still not convinced the wooden grill scraper is all it’s cracked up to be.Comment

RE: Wood grill scrapers
But, there have been folks who got short pieces of metal wire brushes stuck in their esophagus, or pierced their small intestine, so.....there's that. -
Dr. Pepper Yes, I’ve heard that... Best advice then it seems, to me anyway, purchase a GOOD brush with the understanding that it’s disposable. I've yet to have a bush fail, not that it can’t happen...I also don’t let my grills get so dirty that a bristle could cling to it. They get cleaned after every cook...so it’s ready for the next one.

I've made a few "WTF was I thinking purchases" but the one I regret the most recently is grill grates. First off, they work amazing. The problem is I just got a random set instead of getting custom ones to replace my grates. So when not in use it's yet another thing I need to clean and store. I may sell them at some point or gift them to my sister up the road and then do it right by getting the cut for my grill size
(but yes, we have an unused spiralizer, a burger stuffer that got used once because it's easier to do it by hand, a sushi bazooka that works great but only used 1 or 2 times a year, and other various as seen on tv doodads that either don't work or just aren't used)

The Sushi bazooka is just a thingy that compresses rice with your fish filling and lobs it in a tube on top of your seaweed paper for easy unskilled rolling. It works, and works well, but I think cooking good sushi rice and finding quality fish is MUCH harder than learning to roll sushi right so we rarely use the thing. -

This thing.....
Supposedly good for making vertical poppers. Used it a couple of times and the same thing happens. Peppers get loose and fall through, or the heat burns the bottom of the pepper and all the cheese runs out. I do still use the coring tool so something was salvaged from this abortion.Comment

I found the A-Maz-N Tube smoker to be a worthless PITA. Mo's Smoking pouch, too. Dang near impossible to open it (it uses snaps) after a few uses. YMMV.Comment

Just curious Willy
What were you using it on?
Other than cheese, I would never attempt to "smoke" with it...but I’ve found it's useful to add to my father’s pellet grill (WAY too efficient to get decent smoke profile IMO0...or as Dewesq55 said, adding to a gasser, especially when using a rotisserie.
I’m curious why you found it worthless. The pouch thing I get...total PITA. And obviously it’s easy enough to make one’s own pouch out of foil...but then I need to do that EVERY time. Bleh -
surfdog I found it hard to keep the A-Maz-N tube lit and difficult to pack well enough to keep the pellets contained. I haven't tried it for cold smoking and I don't have a pellet pooper; I used it to add smoke while using my gasser. I just wasn't impressed at all. YMMV :«)
