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.

Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

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.

Grilla Pellet Smoker proves good things come in small packages

Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

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

The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted

Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.

True words Donw. Unratable.

Funny thing though, the other night I was watching some Malcom Reed videos on YouTube. Wife said "Are we gonna listen to this guy's not so smooth southern accent all night?"

To which I replied, "Sweetheart, for every hour of these videos I watch, there will probably be hundreds of hours you will not have to cook in the future."

Well, I think that the best gift I ever gave my wife was a pizza stone and a pizza peel, for obvious reasons. 😉

I've been eyeing the Rec Tec Bull FireMan. In fact, she's already green-lighted it, I've just been forcing myself to improve on the small Traeger first.

Gotta tell you though, getting rid of those stupid slits on the back of the Traeger where wind can cause chaos to temps and the larger pellet hopper.... gonna be a sweet thang!

Lol, Troutman all things are permissible but not all things are beneficial.

Truthfully, it's agonizing. Figure I'd get through Valentine's and Disney with the kids later this month then jump off the smoker cliff 😇🍽
