I’m AJ, Founder & Pitmaster Of Kettle Metal BBQ. I’ve got over a decade of experience grilling, smoking, and curing meats as a hobbyist, KCBS Pitmaster, and Certified Barbecue Judge. I believe that your Grill or Smoker is an investment, and I personally don’t want you to waste your money on anything less than excellent quality. That’s why I’ve gone through and reviewed the best grills & smokers on the market. From Traeger Grills to Rec Tec, I have a handle on pellet grills as well.
