Every Grill & Smoker I Own

Over the last 8 years, I've owned more grills and smokers than I can count — some I'd buy again in a heartbeat, one I flat-out regret, and a few I'll never let go of. When I started this channel back in 2018 with my Lone Star Grillz 20x42 offset, I had no idea how big the collection would grow. In this video, I walk you through every cooker still in my backyard and give you my honest take on each one after years of real-world use — what it's best at, who it's right for, and whether I'd spend the money again. You'll see entry-level cookers I recommend to every beginner, premium kamados, drum smokers, offset stick burners, pellet grills, and my newest addition. I also share a cautionary tale about one used cooker that's turned into a money pit — so you can avoid the mistake I made. If you've ever wondered what to buy first, what to upgrade to, or whether that cooker you've been eyeing is worth it, this is the tour for you. ═══════════════════════ 🔥 COOK WITH ME IN PERSON — LIVE COOK DAY, OCTOBER 17 🔥 On October 17, I'm hosting an in-person Live Cook Day right here in my backyard in Clayton, CA — a full day of hands-on BBQ on the very grills and smokers you just watched. Spots are limited (it is my backyard, after all). The smartest way in: VIP membership includes Cook Day — and a full year of VIP costs less than a standalone ticket. No-brainer. 👉 Become a VIP (Cook Day included): https://backyardsmokemaster.com/premium 👉 Cook Day ticket only: https://backyardsmokemaster.com/cookd... ═══════════════════════ CHAPTERS 0:00 — Intro: 8 years of grills and smokers 0:52 — Weber Smoky Mountain (22") 3:33 — MAK 1 Star General pellet grill 6:24 — Weber Kettle (my #1 pick for beginners) 8:42 — Kamado Joe 10:14 — The Pit Barrel that started my drum journey 10:50 — Hunsaker Drum Smoker (I have two) 12:45 — Lone Star Grills 20x42 Offset — the one that started the channel 14:43 — Weber Summit Kamado (and its one knock) 17:48 — MAK 2 Star General — the cautionary tale 19:55 — Smokeslinger Liberty 94 offset 21:45 — The full-size Smokeslinger (direct heat ribs!) 24:21 — Giant Huntsman by Spider Grills — my newest addition 25:51 — Which one should I cook on next?
