So, like every middle-aged man these days BBQ and smoking meat during quarantine has become a bit of a focus (especially being in a non-BBQ city). As is the norm when we start evaluating things, spreadsheets were built, reviews were scrutinized, and we asked around to those we know and trust in the space. We’re in final stages, nearing a purchase but the top contenders have been narrowed down to 2 finalists.
Top Contenders:
Kamado Joe - Big Joe II
Large Big Green Egg (w/ EggGenius)
Traeger Ironwood
RecTeq RT-590 - not in top 2, brother has one so want to try something different
Franklin BBQ - BBQ pit by Aaron Franklin - not in top 2, custom and lead time extended plus we’re likely to move again in next couple years
