These brands didn’t earn a spot on this page by sending me a free sample. They earned it by showing up every single time I fired up the smoker — at competitions, in classes, and in my own backyard. Every brand on this list was already in my rotation before any partnership conversation ever happened. That’s not a coincidence. That’s just what good products do.
Big Green Egg
I’m proud to be a member of Team Green — Big Green Egg’s ambassador community. The EGG is the most versatile cooker I’ve ever used, and the one I reach for whenever results actually matter.

Jealous Devil
My go-to fuel for every cook. Jealous Devil’s all-natural hardwood charcoal burns hotter, lasts longer, and produces less ash than anything else I’ve used — competition or backyard.

Bear & Burton’s W Sauce
America’s Worcestershire. Bigger, bolder, and more flavorful than anything else on the shelf — I use W Sauce as a binder, in marinades, and in recipes across the board. It even has its own recipe on this site.

Plainville Farms
When a recipe calls for turkey, Plainville Farms is my first call. Humanely raised, antibiotic-free, and fed a vegetarian diet — quality you can taste from the first bite off the smoker. Plainville Farms even featured my Turkey Parmesan recipe on their website, which is one of my favorite things I’ve cooked with their turkey cutlets.

Leidy’s Pork
Five generations of family farming since 1893. Leidy’s premium pork is what goes on my smoker when I need results I can stand behind — whether that’s a competition cook or a backyard class.
