Great article. I like that Max Good gives away the food and cookers. As a longtime fireman I can attest that we grill A LOT. It's a simple way to manage meals if you're an emergency responder (most of us feed the cops and drop a care package at the ER's too!). Keep up the great work Max, we all appreciate it.
Smoker: PBC
Grill: A 20-year-old Webber 22.5" Kettle with a Slow and Sear
Thermometers: A Maverick ET732, A Thermapen, a few miscellaneous thermometers
Misc: I just seem to keep buying things.
Thanks for the article. It not only provides good transparency, it helps me better understand your reviews as well as help all of us learn as to what we can be looking for when we look at a product for ourselves.
Nice article! I've done a lot of testing on consumer products related to the HVAC industry. It is a very methodical and precice process. It can be fun but it is a lot of hard work. Good job Max, I appreciate everythign you do!
Hey Max Good , really good article but I have one question. What is the page that manufacturers, etc. should link to? It does not say in the article.
