Upstate NY, by upstate I don't just mean 30 miles north of NYC ;-)
My current cookers include a Shirley Fabrication 24x36 patio model; Weber Performer with the Slow-n-Sear 2.0 & Drip & Griddle; Pit Boss Series 2 propane smoker & SnS Travel Kettle.
Straight Whiskey: I'm a bourbon guy. All time favorite Pappy Van Winkle 12 year. Standard go to Blantons
Blended Whiskey: James Oliver American Whiskey
I also enjoy an occasional cigar
About Me
My name is Josh, not Joey (surprise), and I reside in Central Ohio. I have been grilling since I could drive, and smoking for around 15 years. Over the past couple of years I have gotten more into just cooking, and really enjoy sous vide and the flat top. I find myself experimenting with different foods and new ways of cooking as an outlet to work stress. I use every piece of equipment I own regularly, with the exception of the electric smoker. That only gets brought out on occasion to make jerky.
My favorite beverage is bourbon. I typically have at least 8-10 bottles open at any given time. While I have favorites, I enjoy sampling new and different varieties.
I've had the Keter for over five years and have had no issues. I do have a cover for it, but it lives outside on the patio 24/7/365 and has no rust and is in great shape. The weather here ranges from 95 with super high humidity in the summer to below zero in the winter. It holds my Camp Chef pizza oven when in use, otherwise makes a great prep table. In comparing it to the Blackstone, I would say the Keter would appear to be much sturdier and probably larger. Definitely has more storage. It has wheels on one side and a pseudo handle on the other so it moves very easily. I would be very surprised if you could do better for $220.
I can't find any pictures right now but if anyone wants to see it better just let me know.
