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

the good one grill

The Good-One Open Range is a charcoal grill with an offset smoke chamber attached. It is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. The grill sits low in front and doubles as a firebox for the smoke chamber which is spliced on above and behind so it can work like a horizontal offset smoker only better. 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.

G&F Suede Welder's Gloves

Heat Resistant Gloves With Extra Long Sleeves Hold The Hot Stuff

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.

Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker

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 in the hardware stores because temperature control is so much easier. Best of all, it is only 9 delivered to your door!

kareubequ bbq smoker

Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing.

        I have always admired the way Americans recognise the efforts of their service men and woman in military and civilian causes. Sadly not always the case this side of the pond. Consider my tongs "tipped".

          We know who keeps the wolf from our doors and it ain't our politicians or celebrities. That thin line is universal.

            Thanks for your service. My Uncle Willard was a Lt. in the Army during WWII and was killed in combat in France. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart. My grandfather was an Army Col. My Uncle Alec was an Army Sgt and served in Vietnam. Although I was born Willard also I actually go by Bill. I use Willard for my screen name to honor my Uncle Willard. I served in the Air Force.
