    Can I use my Pit Boss (touch screen controls) while raining?

    I have the Pit Boss Copperhead and the manual says not to use it in the rain. I know plenty of people ignore those manuals, but they do warn against it.

    Wanted: PK Grill

    I bought my PKTX from Amazon because they give you the option to pay it out over five months with no interest or fees if you are a Prime member. It takes the sting out of buying a $450 grill. They also offer the same deal on the OG PK for $370. I have used that joker no less than four times per...

    What's a step up from Campchef/Traeger level? Time to upgrade

    MAK Grills would be my pick if I were in that market, they seem to be sold out though.

    Economical Smoker or Grill

    WSM is a good idea. I prefer drums so I would suggest a PBC or OKJ Bronco with the price range in mind. Unless you want to build your own.

    Masterbuilt 1050 Second Day (sad)

    If they misspelled the name of their own company in their email I might start to get worried.

    Challenging Convention: 203F is pointless, and only coincidental

    Most people that seem to know what they are talking about never say that the meat has to hit 203 to be perfect. That number is given as a guide, but usually followed with the advice of "it's done when it's done" as well as advice on what probe tender feels like. As far as sous vide being...

    Ran out of fuel midcook, restarted fire - what is the impact?

    I doubt there would be any food safety issue, but I probably would have pulled the meat out until the firestarter was done and the temp was back up. I also doubt that you'll see a negative impact from the up and down temps. If anything I would crank the temp up to 275-300, but that is the range...

    Choosing an offset, Need help

    In general you don't hear many people regret getting a bigger cooker. The reverse is not uncommon though.

    B.B. Prime Salamander Broiler

    I bought a Caveman broiler that looks similar. It was only $132 on the Menards website. To be honest I never got my money's worth out of it. The product worked as advertised, but the end result did not motivate me to keep on using it.

    Trying to decide on a new offset

    At one point I came very close to putting an order in on the LSG, but I held off. I think they are great and I would like to have one. I think it really only came down to looks and I liked the look of the Workhorse better.

    Looking for an Offset Smoker

    Based on the size and mobility factors I would probably recommend the Shirley 24x36.

    Trying to decide on a new offset

    I have a Lang, but I was looking for something else a few months back. After doing plenty of research I had narrowed it down to Workhorse Pits, Lone Star Grillz, and Shirley. Shirley stopped taking orders on their patio model because they were building a new shop so I was looking really hard at...

    Table top portable smoking grills like Traeger Ranger & Pit Boss Portable

    I have the ASmoke 300 which I believe is almost exactly like the Pit Boss you are looking at. The firepot is in the middle of the grill and there is a metal deflector that goes over it. The deflector is two pieces so you can slide it open for direct grilling. It is also angled towards the right...

    Any opinions on the Weber Summit Kamado?

    Recently it seems like every time I see someone ask about which kamado to buy this is the number one suggestion. I don't own one, but I do think they are interesting. I smoked on a kamado for a while and it seemed fine to me. However, I bought a Hunsaker drum cooker which would be more...
