BBQ Gear
The gear behind the cooks.
People ask what smoker, what knife, what thermometer. This is where I send them — All Things Barbecue, the family-run Kansas retailer behind Yoder Smokers.
Affiliate link — the full disclosure is at the bottom of this page.
Why here
Not a random affiliate page.
These are the people who actually know what they're selling, and who will pick up the phone.
Family-run since 2009
Started as a storefront in the Delano District of Wichita, Kansas, and still run like a family shop.
They build their own pits
Yoder Smokers have been welded in Yoder, Kansas since 2006 — heavy steel, made to be a last grill.
They actually teach
A teaching kitchen, a YouTube channel and a whole lot of written guides, so you learn the gear and not just buy it.

What I'd grab first.
You don't need a truck full of gadgets. These are the things that actually change how your food turns out.
- Smokers & grills
- Pellets, charcoal & wood
- Thermometers & probes
- Knives & slicing tools
- Rack wrap, foil & butcher paper
- Grates, baskets & attachments
Ambassador
I'm an ambassador for Yoder Smokers.
Yoder builds heavy-gauge steel cookers in Kansas — smokers and pellet grills that hold a temperature, hold a sear, and are still running in twenty years. If you're in the market for one cooker that does everything, start here.
Rubs first, hardware second. Start with the seasoning.
