GRILLS

We started out our pellet grill journey with a Traeger grill and quickly added another one to the collection. Pellet grilling is my new favorite cooking method, and really the only way I’ll grill these days.

We have since expanded our collection to include a Camp Chef Woodwind, a Louisiana Vertical Pellet Smoker (for those giant batches of smoked salmon or beef jerky, or enough smoked brisket to feed 3 small armies).

You can find my Traeger Pellet Grill Recipe Collection here, and I also have some eBooks that feature the most popular recipes on the site and collect them all in one place, recipe only – no ads and no scrolling involved.

Camp Chef Woodwind

This is a powerful grilling machine, and the sidekick makes it even better. The perfect grill for reverse searing, long smokes, or a quick grill sesh.

Traeger Pro 780

This is an absolute work horse and what we currently have on our deck. You’re going to love the WIFI controller and versatility of this grill!

Louisiana Grills Vertical Pellet Smoker

We just purchased this grill and so far we are in love. Affectionately named, Louise, I am so excited to start churning out giant batches of sausage, smoked salmon, and jerky!

GRIDDLE & FLAT TOPS

In 2019 we also added a 36″ Blackstone Griddle to our outdoor cooking collection. ~~We’ve made a few things on it so far, like this Blackstone Steak and our Blackstone Omelets, and they’ve been fabulous.~~ We are obsessed with the Blackstone and cook on it constantly. I think every house should have one. I LOVE IT.

We have a smaller griddle that fits on our Camp Chef Sidekick attachment too, and the Hibachi Fried Rice that came off of that thing was out of this world.

These griddles are both powered by propane, so make sure you have a tank handy!

You can see all of my Blackstone Recipes here.

Blackstone Flat Top Grill

Flat-top griddles are so versatile! Make pancakes for an army or the best hibachi fried rice you’ve ever had. Reverse sear a steak, whip up some smash burgers, or cook basically anything you could cook in a pan that doesn’t require a sauce. You need this!

Camp Chef Griddle

I do not actually have this one because I have a griddle attachment for my Camp Chef Pellet Grill, but it has great reviews and is a solid option if you are on the hunt for a large flat top, and the Camp Chef brand has been great to use and work with.

SPICES & SEASONINGS

In 2015 I discovered a local Washington spice brand called Spiceology that lept into my “CANNOT COOK WITHOUT” list, immediately, and they are blowing up in the years since and have yet to disappoint. You can see their whole product offering here, or read below to see which ones I have in my collection. (Spoiler alert, it is a LOT.)

STAPLES

These are the things that I just can’t live without and go into almost every dish I make. I’m listing the big food-service-sized container because they usually wind up being less expensive per pound, and we go through a lot, but most of these have smaller-sized equivalents if you don’t have friends you want to split with.

Red Sea Salt

Amazing flavor. Makes a big difference in the end result. Highly recommend over white table salt for all the things!

Black Pepper

Love this stuff! Fresh ground black pepper from only the best sources. The only kind of pepper I’ll buy!

Salt Pepper Garlic

Our new, custom, Smokey SPG is my MOST USED SPICE blend because if I put anything on everything! It is salt, pepper, garlic. Every time. Buy this before our first run sells out!

Onion Powder

Onion powder is another one of those things that really just makes everything better. Plus, it comes with the added benefit of not being detectable to the small people in your life who don’t yet realize that onions are freaking AMAZING.

Italian Seasoning

Love love love this Italian Seasoning blend! Perfectly balanced. Make your own spaghetti sauce, Italian meatballs, or a big loaf of garlic bread.

Taco Seasoning

This is the only taco seasoning I will use. Throw those grocery store packets right in the garbage because you will never want one of those tacos ever again. Seriously. I love it that much.

More Grilling Accessories!

Some of my other favorite tools for the grill!

Barbecue Grill Light with Magnetic Base

Get this grill light and never try and hold your phone with your chin again while you man the grill! Or maybe that's just me. 😉
