Gear we trust

Grills, smokers, and the tools that earn their place

We only review equipment we have used for a full season. No demo units, no two-week impressions, no paid placement.

4.9 / 5.0

The best ceramic kamado we have ever cooked on. Holds temperature for 24+ hours on a single load of charcoal and seasons up beautifully over a season.

Traeger Timberline XL

4.7 / 5.0

5 / 5.0

Smithey No. 12 Skillet

4.8 / 5.0

American-made cast iron with a polished cooking surface that actually behaves like a non-stick pan once you season it. Will outlive you.
