What do you have in your outdoor cooking arsenal??

Hntnhrd

just curious what everyone has at there disposal for backyard cooks. My wife says I have a problem but enjoys everything I cook. My biggest problem is that I am cheap and enjoy getting deals on my outdoor stuff. So here is my list 
Large big green egg (375$ used off Craigslist)

weber kettle ( renter left it behind)

Charbroil pro series gasser (20$ at a yard sale)

refurbished barrel grillI ( free $ 10 in paint

2 brinkman smokers ( retired since i got my egg)

28 inch Blackstone ( new this week$99 Walmart)

my eye is looking at the Blackstone pizza oven now but I have made some good pies on the egg so I will wait till I find a good deal

I know the feeling. My wife gives me grief as well. 2 Large BGEs, 36 in Blackstone, a large barrel smoker, 3 propane cookers for frying and a Weber. And a rack of supplies on a rack in the garage. It's a sickness.

I have a large & MM egg and a place for coals for the dutch oven. I'm ordering my Forno Bravo wood fired oven tomorrow. I can't imagine needing anything else...except a Lone Star Grillz vertical offset smoker...

One medium egg but I do have a platesetter and a cast iron grate. A Looftlighter for lighting it and a sack of Rockwood . A Thermapen to check temperature.

As long as  I cook on them my wife understands. They're  not hanger queens. 1XL, 1lge, 1med,  1mini, 2 vision grill kubs and a Fire Magic gasser.  I had a nice
New Braunfels offset smoker  but I gave it away since I never used it. I also have a fire pit with  a swing grill.

I have a subterranean smoker that I've been digging for years, smuggling the dirt out in cigarette packs, from a hole that starts under my house.   It extends into the surrounding few blocks.  Honestly, I've had some structural challenges.  Like water intrusion.  And raccoons.

Schwenker with a tripod support? We used to cook on these in Germany, popular in Saarland.

One LGBE, a CharBroil gasser with infrared and a CharBroil electric smoker plus the eggcessories listed in my signature and a few other items. I also have propane and wood burning fire pits.

I would love to add a Blackstone but until I start doing more of the daily cooking my wife won't approve of any more purchases.

I've lost count and I'm hoping SWMBO has too.

LBGE. SBGE. Mini BGE.several Weber kettles including a Simpsons 22" and a Simpsons Smokey Joe. Weber rotisserie for the kettles. Another Smokey Joe modded into a mini smoker. Weber charcoal Go-Anywhere. Discadas (3 in different sizes). Homemade tandoor. Redneck brick pizza oven. Propane burner. Probably a few more that I missed .

I sure wish I wouldn't have missed this. Or was it just at your local WallyWorld?

Walmart appears to be clearing out the 28" Blackstones. Use this site to check local inventory and pricing as the prices are not the same online:

http://brickseek.com/walmart-inventory-checker/

SKU for the 28" is 36323162 - most stores are $99 but some are $50.

And at least one store near me has the 36" for $150. SKU 39891191

If you find inventory at a store with the higher price but have a store near you with the lower price, sometimes you can buy from the higher price store and then go to the lower price store and ask for a price adjustment (just go to customer service and say you see that they just lowered the price on this item and you would like an adjustment - usually works, but not all the time).

Good luck!

@hofstrajet Thanks..There are some 1 mile from my house for $99...I appreciate you!

Discadas... I didn't count that. I only have one that I made from an old plow disk. I don't use it often - but for some things it's wonderful. How's the bread coming?

@NewBerlinEggprentice I live in Montana and couldn't find one anywhere in the state. I used that link and happened to check Reno since we were headed there for a convention. Walmarts there had em. Wishing now I bought 2!

The whole fam damn.

A BS Tailgater resides in the kitchen.

Have sold a OTS, Weber Gen Silver B, 3 18" WSMs, Jumbo Joe, and Lodge CI Hibachi, all on CL.

I have the same problem.

 Brandon- Hi, my name is Brandon.

 XXX- Would you like to share Brandon?

Seriously, which WSM size do you prefer? 18?

Mosca

Not as much as many here. I have a LBGE, a 22" Weber, and a Smokey Joe that I use for 2 burgers, 2 hot dogs, etc.

The Smokey Joe sits on the wooden table next to the BGE. That's the herb garden on top of the mini-fridge.

Lol

Honestly, I go through phases with each size.

If you're a brisket and ribs guy, then 22.

All around, it's hard not to put the 18 up there.  I added a third rack and have smoked 6 8lb butts no problem, a charcoal miser for sure.  Ribs and brisket can get a little tricky. Some foil in the right places takes care of it.  Used to shoehorn briskets with empty cans.

It's pretty badass to lay three slabs on the top rack of the 22, with plenty of room to breathe.

Lately, the 14 has been a smoking beast.

Hell, I dunno, too hard to pick just one. Hahahaha

22 and 14 is a killer combo.

ElkhornHusker

Feel like slacker here.  A LBGE and a 28" Blackstone.  Had an infrared turkey fryer, but sold that since I never used it.

I get it, it's like picking between my kids. No chance.
