    Kitchen Scale Recommendations

    So my scale died and I need to replace it. What do y’all use?
    Richard Chrz I am calling you out because I know you use the pizza bible and wonder what you use for weighing?

    The small one is used often for pizza, those 5 and 10 gram readings seem unreliable on the larger one. Otherwise everything about 10 grams or so, I go to the larger scale, which is a mail scale which reads ounces, lbs, and grams, but cheaper because of tagged as a mail scale.

      Not only does that large scale give the weight, but it will tell you how much it will cost to send to your Grandma in Paducah.

    I use the same small scale as Richard, but I use a My Weigh KD8000 for everything else. If you get the My weigh, get the one with the AC adapter. When using batteries, it will time out and shut off which is not a good thing...

      I third (fourth?) the recommendation about the KD8000. I have used one for well over 5 years with no problems. Batteries last a LONG time in this scale. It has enough capacity (over 15 lbs) for almost all kitchen tasks.

      You can disable the auto-shutoff. See https://www.makesauerkraut.com/mywei...-scale-review/ Scroll down about halfway. The instructions are a slide show -- click the arrow at the right of each picture to go to the next step.

      This seller is where I got my scale. It now comes with an AC power adapter. But honestly the batteries last a long time, even with the auto shutoff disabled. https://www.oldwillknottscales.com/my-weigh-kd8000.html

        For accuracy down to .1 grams combined with a total capacity over 600 grams, the old stand by Triple Beam is hard to beat. It's also hard to explain if the cops should happen to stop by.

      I use this OXO: https://amzn.to/3rGPCP9 (I have an older model though.)

      Love the pull out display and it's very accurate. Batteries last forever. Easy clean up.

        Add me to the Oxo scale lovers. Had mine for years. The pull out display is a great feature.

      We've had a Salter Aquatronic Glass scale for probably 20 years. We use it nearly every day and it's been great. Sadly, from the recent reviews it looks like they're having quality problems. https://www.amazon.com/Salter-Aquatr...ct_top?ie=UTF8

          Thanks y’all for the recommendations! A Salter is what I had since God was a boy. A foot fell off, but I was still able to make it work. And even with new batteries, it weights would fluctuate too much.

          off to shop!

                    I have the black one. Truth be told I had to replace it after about 10 years. But I liked it enough to just buy a new one.

                Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker


                This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175o to 350oF and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.

                GrillGrates Take Gas Grills To The Infrared Zone


                GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, kill hotspots, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily rmoved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke.

                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 because temperature control is so much easier.

                If you're using oven mitts at the grill, it's time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder's gloves. They're heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned.

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


                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.
