What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

Pellet grilles are like Easy Bake Ovens these days - and I love that.

Gives a frozen pizza a nice flavor, too...

Clean way to cook bacon too. No spattering in the house.

Damn never thought of bacon, thanks running to the store now!

My mom has a Weber Genesis that we got her a few years back. I like it a lot as far as propane goes. I have had a the literal cheapest Pit Boss they make for the last 6 or 8 years now. Replaced a couple parts along the way. I find it works for me for grilling and smoking fine.

I also have a Blackstone we bought from a family member. Doesn't get used much but its a good fried rice machine, lol.

I have a basic Weber genesis from 2011, special ordered with cast iron grates. I hate stainless grates. I want marks.

I wish I had a side burner for bacon. Or to boil brats in beer.

Ohh yea. So good. Then you have nice long not shriveled strips of smoked bacon.

And don't even have to clean the stove.

We cook bacon in the oven on cookie sheets with parchment paper. Crisp bacon almost no cleanup.

That's good too. I think the ole lady did that recently when we didn't feel like sweltering outside.

I have way too many stove choices in case of power outages, and I too, have a solar system. I have a Coleman gas (several of those), butane, propane and even a cool Biolite stove that runs off wood and also has a built in thermal generator that has a USB port for charging. Pretty cool, toss some sticks in it, the fan kicks in, generates a tornado effect, make the fire REALLY hot and the heat charges the generator. I've used that little doohickey quite a few times, it actually works.

We use the Traeger all the time. If we lose power I want to use my toys !!

Good thing about that Traeger if you're thinking of it; it cooks food perfectly. We've cooked everything and it all tasted great. No opening/closing flues, no adding wood, stoking wood, etc.. It smokes it, then cooks it. It has bluetooth so you can see the temps of the grill, of the meat, etc., all from your air conditioned house. All that's missing is an internal camera with light so you can look at the food without raising the lid.....lol.

Ha!!! I’ve used one of those Biolite stoves for YEARS!! I was one of the first ones in to order one for public market on em during their startup thing around 2012-2013. I think I have 2 or 3 of em kicking around here now. In some box out in the garage most likely. First one I had eventually burned out. I literally wore a hole in the bottom corner of it. Used that thing for on the trail lunches and dinners and everything in between. People were kind of amazed I could have a hot lunch cooked and eaten by the time they got done with their cold cuts during the lunch time breaks for group runs.
