I want a smoker\grill though so considering getting a Rec Tec
I searched for this before I posted because I was almost certain I wouldn't be first to the table here.
My Blackstone is easily the best purchase I have made in recent memory. And I stole mine due to a sale, floor item and cash coupon (about $175 for the 36'' model).
Since I've bought mine, 3 people that I've cooked with have bought one of their own.
Seriously - everyone should buy a Blackstone. They're just outstanding. [Reply]

I read yours and fmbs posts on them and told the wife they looked awesome and she bought me one.

I use the fucker all the time
I have just enough gadgets that my wife thought were stupid when I bought them that work all the time that I pretty much have a free "well that was a stupid purchase" to work with.
The damn fajitas or cheesesteaks you can make on that thing are incredible, ESPECIALLY when you introduce the Joule. I marinade sirloin (god's punishment for giving us ribeyes) and then cook it at 126 in the joule for about 4 hours. It comes out incredibly tender and flavorful. Then get my surface temp to about 500 and drop a bacon press on top of the steak to get an incredible sear.
That was my spread last night.
It's the only way I can come up with to get you a perfect medium rare, AND a great sear AND a tender, flavorful cut from an otherwise lousy cut of meat.
Oh - and side note while we're talking about best purchases - find the Tortilla Land raw tortillas next time you're doing fajitas. They're uncooked but pressed and you can get 10 of them on the 36'' at a time. They are amazing and take the fajitas up to restaurant quality. You can't duplicate that with some Mission shelf-stable jobs. [Reply]

Mine went away on their own after a couple of years. I think the mind gets use to it and just blocks them out. I had them the worst about five years ago when I was playing SS in softball and the floater moved to the front and was in the middle, so I had to look at the batter out of the side of my eye. [Reply]
