Answering the Question "is a one grill/smoker enough"?

[Demosthenes9]

Gave away a Ranch Kettle and a Gen2 Performer to my brother and sil. A gen 3 Performer to an uncle. Another to a cousin. Shipped off my 6 burner Brinkmann gasser (freaking workhorse) along with a Weber Genny Silver C.

That leaves me with 2 Smoke Hollow 44" smokers, 2 Weber Genny Gold C's, a Weber Summit 650 6 burner, a Ranch kettle, a 26.76" MiniRanch, a OTG, a OTS, a Red '72 3 wheeler, a Smokey Joe Silver, a Jumbo Joe, a Blackstone 36" and a Camp Chef 3 burner with a 36" griddle.

Nope, 1 just wouldn't do it.

I wish I could get it down to just one or even just a couple. I like trying out new stuff and find things that I like about everything I have. There are others out there that I would like to have but I need to reduce quite a few things before I buy more. Here is what I have.

Good One Marshall
Good One Open Range
Good One one off Tailgate grill/smoker (half the size of a Patio Jr.)
2007 Weber Performer
1995 Red Weber Performer
New 22" Weber Master touch
New 22" Weber OTS
Weber Jumbo Joe
2 Weber Smokey Joe's
18" Weber OTS(fiance's son using that)
Red Weber Genesis 1000 gas grill
Weber Silver A gas grill
WGA
18" & 14" WSM's
PBC
22" & 14" Old Smokey grills
Original style PK grill
PK360 grill
and a crap load of grill accessories.

I need to get rid of some stuff because I don't use most of it on a regular basis but it's hard for me to decide which ones that would be. I have definitely gone overboard for sure.

I thought I was going down the hole with 5, I guess I'm still ok.

The correct number is: the number of cookers your wife will let you have (if you feel compelled to sleep with one eye open, you MAY be treading that fine line)

 

[Notorious Q.U.E.]

Nuco59 got it spot on the mark! I used to have 4 and if it was up to me, I would've kept each one. I'm over the moon happy with my Shirley but I'll confess that I'm still searching for some sort of Holy Grail cooker.

Interesting question.
I have never counted them, so gonna do it here

WSM 14"
old weber 18"
Cadac charcoal 22" (hardly ever use it, takes a lot of charcoal, great for christmas turkey though)
14" baby kettle of obscure brand and quality
foldable note book braai
cold smoke generator
cold smoker turned into hot smoker
2 potjie burners
multiple braziers
half drum grill
old gasbottle made into grill
gasbottles, skottles, grill pans etc etc

Currently looking for a gas pizza thingy, or getting one of the kettles set up for pizza

Maybe I got too much

My dogs are not complaining though....

 

[1buckie]

No....the answer is just simply NO.........

 

[Notorious Q.U.E.]

hahahaha!!!! I just about fell out of my chair. You're running short on them Webers--time for a re-up

 

[KevinJ]

They're like Rabbits :shocked:

 

[DaveAlvarado]

I could get by with one.

It would have wheels and a trailer hitch though, and there *may* be more than one firebox...

 

[dadsr4]

I do most of my cooks on my oldest kettle. Usually, the other kettle is only used for burgers and/or hot dogs for visiting kids.

I feel like this pretty much applies to any hobby. Can I have just one vehicle, one golf club, one gun, one smoker ect?? Of course not! If they made the perfect “one” for all occasions we would all get bored eventually. I need variety! It’s a full time job convincing my wife though…..:-D
