Outset QN77 Copper Nonstick Grill Skillet with Removable Soft-Grip Handle Top Quality


Outset QN77 Copper Nonstick Grill Skillet with Removable Soft-Grip Handle
I have one of these I purchased locally and love it, but the 2 I ordered here came with imperfections in the finish both inside and on the bottom. Since this will effect the non stick feature, I returned both skillets to the vendor. I am still waiting for a refund.Get more detail about Outset QN77 Copper Nonstick Grill Skillet with Removable Soft-Grip Handle.

Weber 7502 Hose and Regulator Kit (21-Inch) This instant


It said this hose was for the model that I owned, but it definitely was not. IT was too short. I was able to finagle everything to make it work, but everything is stretched out and the nozzle is now pointing in the back of the grill.Get more detail about Weber 7502 Hose and Regulator Kit (21-Inch).

Weber 7454 Vinyl Cover, Fits Charcoal Grills with Work Table Best Quality


It's a nice heavy gauge vinyl cover that fits the 22 inch grill well. I suspect it might be a little large for the smaller of the two grills. The velcro straps should keep it from blowing off easily in the wind. Get more detail about Weber 7454 Vinyl Cover, Fits Charcoal Grills with Work Table.

Weber 4421001 Spirit E-310 LP Gas Grill, Black Order Now



Here you have excellent value for money. I was planning to go for the more costly Genesis E-310, but upon examining both grills very closely, there is so little difference in them that I could not justify the Genesis. I don't mind spending for quality, but both grills are high quality--you get a very modest boost in scale with the Genesis and a fancier lid. With this said, the Spirit E-310 is already a fairly large grill with tremendous heating capacity.

The grill is easy to put together--I guess it took me about an hour, just taking my time and being careful. I was impressed with the quality of the parts and the clearances--it's tight. Now I know few things are made as well as they should be, and this grill really should not cost $499.00--but shop around and see if you can do better. Good luck. My model has heavy cast iron grates: they are fantastic and sear like a champ. The ignition system is excellent, and the grill heats to 600 degrees in less than ten minutes and really holds its heat while cooking. Grates and flavorizer bars can be replaced with stainless steel when they wear out. Although the grill is marketed as an "entry level" appliance, I would say that it far exceeds the expectations one might have based on that term. You're entering at a pretty high level if you buy this grill. This grill is heavy, looks good, cooks great, and cleans up easily. I consider the Spirit E-310 a pro-grade appliance well worth the cost with 95% of the features offered in the Genesis. I think the three burner model is worth the extra money--it gives you a lot more capacity and flexibility. I also bought the Weber premium cover, and it is a high-quality item I'd also recommend.

I would be reluctant, however, to have the grill sent to me through the mail, and I certainly wouldn't let them assemble it at Home Depot. Shop carefully and do the research and you may well find that this is a gas grill you will really appreciate for the power and quality it does have and also for the gizmos and tackiness it doesn't have.

Weber 7538 Gas Grill Flavorizer Bars Decide Now


Didn't know the model number of my grill so it took me 2 times to get the right size. But now that I did, gave new life to my grill. 12 years and grilling strong.Get more detail about Weber 7538 Gas Grill Flavorizer Bars.

Pecan Wood Chunks Right now


I am very happy with the wood chunks I received. I purchased the apple, cherry, and pecan chunks, and am very satisfied with the uniformity of the chunks. Another reviewer mentioned that some chunks were somewhat large. That has not been the situation for me. Perhaps there's a bit of luck in ending up with the size of wood chunks you want.

I wish it were easier for me to find smoke wood chunks locally (besides hickory and mesquite), but until I do, I plan to order from here again.Get more detail about Pecan Wood Chunks.

Lowest Price Mr. Bar-B-Q 5-Piece Stainless Handle Barbeque Tool Set


As others have indicated,the tools are large......but if you have a decent sized grill, they are just right!!! The tongs work well and the spatula can be used to flip, cut, or tenderize. And they look great. The one negative is that if you don't have a traditional hook (as opposed to a knob) you can't hang up all of the tools. I have a Weber Genesis, and I had to buy hooks b/c my knobs were too large to hang the tools on....except the tongs. If I could change anything, I would include a case.Get more detail about Mr. Bar-B-Q 5-Piece Stainless Handle Barbeque Tool Set.

Product came as advertised. Great wood chunks. Great smoke flavor. Will happily order from them again.Get more detail about Cherry Wood Chunks.

Discount Weber 7534 Gas Grill Flavorizer Bars


These fit my ancient Webber Grill perfectly, replacing the burned-out, rusted older ones have replaced years ago. There's still quite a lot of flare up as these have not yet been coated with food yet. But the flareup is handled easily by cooking on low heat for the most part.Get more detail about Weber 7534 Gas Grill Flavorizer Bars.

Cheapest Mr. Bar-B-Q Grill Cover, Extra Large


I also have the Blue Ember iQue grill, which proved to be problematic when sourcing a cover for its 80" width. This cover fits perfectly, and has a soft interior lining. It's also a lot darker than the icky light green the product image shows, making it look far nicer in my opinion.Get more detail about Mr. Bar-B-Q Grill Cover, Extra Large.

Cheap Weber 516002 Q 120 Gas Grill


I have used the Weber Q 120, with the optional accessory rolling cart and vinyl grill cover, twice, and I am completely satisfied with it. This portable grill assembles easily (great instructions), and starts instantly by pressing a single ignition button (only one click). It takes about 10 minutes to reach cooking temperature. The grill surface is easy to clean with a steel bristle brush and scraper. Also helpful are the two fold out work tables. In lieu of disposable canisters, I hooked it up to a large 20 lb. liquid propane tank (about $20.00 when filled, at grocery stores and Home Depot) with a Freedom Grill FG-50HA Stainless Steel Propane Hose Adapter. So far I have grilled salmon, chicken, and eggplant with perfect results. After using this, I can't imagine ever going back to a charcoal grill. As usual, Amazon's shipping was on time, as promised.

Buying Fulcrum Clip-On Work Light/BBQ Light

Buy Camerons Products 5-Pound Bag BBQ Chunks, Apple


Great quality pieces of wood for smoking meat. I use a hatchet on some of the larger pieces to get the size I want, as there is a little bit of variance in the sizes of the wood chunks. That is perfect for me, as I use the larger chunks when smoking, and the smaller pieces while grilling. I'll be ordering these again the next time I need wood.

The Pecan smoke itself is great as well. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and it is quickly moving up my list of favorite woods to use. Many consider it interchangeable with Hickory wood chips, but I'd say it is just slightly more mild. Very good flavor overall, and would work well with chicken, beef, fish, and probably cheese. I prefer apple wood when smoking pork, but I'd guess it would work for that as well. Heck...there aren't any rules, so try it on everything!Get more detail about Camerons Products 5-Pound Bag BBQ Chunks, Apple.

Purchase Bradley Digital 4- Rack Smoker


This is my second venture into smoking food. I have enjoyed smoked meats for years but, aside from a "manual" charcoal smoker that we had years ago that I could never get working right, it is the first time I have been able to smoke my own meats. We have already had smoked pork ribs and roast, brisket, and chicken. The Digital Bradley Smoker makes it so convenient and easy.

Being able to use the smoke and heat separately allows us to cook other things besides smoked meats outside during the hot summertime in Texas and keep the heat out of the kitchen. The food cooked in the Bradley has been absolutely delicious and I recommend this smoker to anyone thinking of buying a smoker.

I also purchased a Maverick RediChek Two Probe Remote Thermometer that allows me to read the smoker and meat temperatures from inside the house, and that was a great addition to this purchase.Get more detail about Bradley Digital 4- Rack Smoker.

Where To Buy Old Smokey Electric Smoker


I bought this product after reading so many good reviews. I cannot explain why so many people like it, but after 4 months of experimenting and tinkering and producing food my family will not eat I do not. I have decided to buy the Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker 18-1/2-Inch Smoker instead.

The old smokey electric is not a real smoker, because it is sealed there is no air flow past the meat,no combustion oxygen, and no place for steam to go. This results in the following problems:

The smoker will produce a tiny amount of smoke that will supposedly stay in the can to flavor the meat, then then it will produce no more, as all the oxygen will have been consumed, this smoke will eventually condense out into the bowl due to all the steam that invariably forms and will not penetrate the meat.

Over time creosote and tar will build up on the inside of the can, the steam produced by cooking mixes with this horrible tasting soot, and then impart the flavor to the meat. The first few things I made were OK, but over time the taste steadily degraded, this may explain some the positive reviews. They may not have used it as much or as long as I did.

The meat will not form a crispy outer layer (" the bark") that is a critical part of smoking. The steam washes away most of the rub you put on the meat and leaves a rubbery skin.

The meat will not seal, as the meat cooks the juices that would normally be kept in by a crispy skin will be squeezed out into the bowl, resulting in meat that is dry inside. You could sear it yourself first, but this would completely block out any smoke from possibly getting in the meat.

There is no online user group or recipe book for this smoker, you are on your own with recipes. The ones that come with it are completely wrong. You cannot cook a brisket by cooking it for 20 minutes a pound on high as the recipe book says. Ultimately I think this its biggest downfall. If you buy a smoker, buy one with a big user community that can help you.

If you really want to steam meat with a tiny bit of smoke you can do this yourself in the oven, just put some wood chips under your broiler pan and put your meat on top and you have created your own old smokey, or you can do it with something like the Cameron Cookware Gourmet Mini Smoker, or you can do it like they do it on the food network show "iron chef" with a "hotel pan", you don't need to buy this to do that.

In the end mine is but one review and you will need to look to places other than the overly positive Amazon reviews to make your decision:

Search the web for "amazing ribs" "virtual weber bullet" and "bbq source forums"

After reading through these you will learn that others have tried and failed with the old smokey electric, you will learn about what true smoking really is. You will find a massive following for the Weber Smokey Mountain (WSM) with loads precise details and recipes. Yes the WSM a little more expensive, but its a lot cheaper to buy the right smoker the first time, than it is to buy the wrong one first, and then buy the right one like I did.Get more detail about Old Smokey Electric Smoker.

Shop For Wizard BBQ Brush Replacement Scrubbers


All of these negative and 'bogus' posts are from the inventor who is trying to pull sales to his own competing product which is double the cost and has 5% of the sales volume.
These scrubbers were the ones most recently tested by Cooks Illustrated and were rated HIGHER than the inventors smaller double scrubs as the larger scrubber is more effective and lasts longer. The brush itself is essentially the same except for plastic handle (which is dishwasher safe) vs. wood handle (which ages quickly outdoors) and the plastic handle version costs only $10.99 vs. $22.50 on the inventors site. These posts by the inventor are the scam! He has granted Barr Brothers the right to produce and sell the brush and receives royalty payments. Dont be fooled by a con artist!
