The actual gear \u2014 five pieces currently in rotation. Where a model is confirmed (visible branding, or just told directly), it’s stated as fact. Where it’s a guess based on styling or partial branding, it’s clearly marked as a guess \u2014 and for the one piece with zero visible branding, no manufacturer is invented at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Napoleon Mirage (gas grill)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Napoleon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Best guess:<\/strong> Napoleon’s Mirage series \u2014 “NAPOLEON” and “MIRAGE” branding both visible on the hood, five control knobs across the front, and a “Sizzle Zone” infrared side burner built into the right-hand shelf. That’s a real, confirmed feature; the exact model number (there are a few trims in the Mirage line) isn’t confirmed \u2014 the rating plate inside a cabinet door would settle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturer:<\/strong> napoleon.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use case:<\/strong> the everyday workhorse \u2014 burgers, wings, steaks. The Sizzle Zone side burner is built for a fast, hot sear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Weber Kettle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Weber<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Best guess:<\/strong> Weber Master-Touch, likely the 22-inch. The built-in lid thermometer, the swiveling One-Touch ash cleaning lever at the base, and the aluminum ash catcher are all Master-Touch-specific features together \u2014 the base “Original Kettle” doesn’t have that combination. Couldn’t confirm the exact diameter from the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturer:<\/strong> weber.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use case:<\/strong> the classic charcoal kettle \u2014 low-and-slow indirect setups, direct-heat searing, the reliable fallback when gas feels like cheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Big Green Egg (Large)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Big<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Big Green Egg branding is right there on the ceramic dome \u2014 this is the Large<\/strong> size, on its stand with the built-in lid thermometer and folding side shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturer:<\/strong> biggreenegg.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use case:<\/strong> the ceramic kamado \u2014 insane temperature range and heat retention, does everything from a 700\u00b0F pizza to a 16-hour low-and-slow brisket without breaking a sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re into these:<\/strong> Fernandes Lumber & Home Center<\/a> in South Easton, MA hosts the Easton EGGfest<\/a> every year \u2014 a full afternoon of live-fire cooking, demos, and tastings from local Egg-thusiasts and pros, with proceeds going to charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Older Weber Gas Grill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Older<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Best guess:<\/strong> an older Weber Genesis-era gas grill (right side of the photo above) \u2014 the “weber” script logo is clearly visible on the lid, and the boxy cart-style base with a red lid points to something from the late 1990s-2000s design era (Weber’s current Genesis II line, redesigned in 2017, looks quite different). No visible model plate in the photo, so this is styling-based, not confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturer:<\/strong> weber.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use case:<\/strong> the backup\/overflow grill at this point \u2014 still fires up when the Napoleon’s busy or extra grate space is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Barrel Smoker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brand\/model:<\/strong> unknown \u2014 no visible branding anywhere in the photo above (left side), so this stays honestly unlabeled rather than guessing a manufacturer with nothing to back it up. It’s a black, offset-style barrel smoker with a chimney stack and side vents on the lower cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use case:<\/strong> the low-and-slow, all-day option \u2014 ribs, brisket, anything that benefits from real wood\/charcoal smoke over a long cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know the brand or model on this one, send it over and I’ll fill it in properly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not a grill, but it earns its spot here \u2014 the countertop convection-oven-plus-air-fryer combo, picked up because Alton Brown recommended it (that’s the reason for buying it, not an independently fact-checked endorsement claim on this site’s part). Gets real use for two different jobs: air-frying wings, and \u2014 less obviously \u2014 proofing pizza dough, using the oven’s low-temp settings as a makeshift proofing box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturer:<\/strong> breville.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use case:<\/strong> air fryer wings when firing up a whole grill isn’t worth it, plus dough proofing for pizza nights.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
