    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

The beginning of the word comes from older French and German words meaning the back of a...

    Getting This Bad Boy Monday

    This is actually my second model 320. The first one I had was destroyed in our house fire in 2021. I don't think I would have any other brand as their customer service is excellent.

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    Good Propane Griddle for Steaks?

    I recently purchased a Royal Gourmet gas griddle from Home Depot. 3 burner and a porcelain coated heavy steel griddle. I didn't want to have the worries about keeping the plain steel griddles seasoned properly, and cleanup is a breeze. Wifey loved the ribeyes I cooked on it last week. And the...
