Brother, I don't have NEAR the collection Tom Horsman has! He's one of our members here (tomcrete), he has TONS of toys and makes a new video about every 53.6 minutes :P

Man RG you got my juices going again......that toy looks amazing

It looks well built and it's cheap. I saw a post on a Facebook group I am a part of and the guy had posted a video about it and guess who made that video? Tomcrete, lol! You can think of just about any cooking device and google it and you'll se a video review by Tom, lol!
He's the reason I bought it AND the fact that it's cheap :)
That reminds me, I have a rebate form to fill out for it, an 11% rebate, lol. Not 15%, nope. Not 8%......11%! That's such a weird spot to land, who came up with that arbitrary number I wonder? ;D
Here's the link to it, as far as I can see only Menards sells it.

It looks very similar to the "Beefer" which is $700 : https://us.beefer.com/shop/the-beefer/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI65W6oZKI6AIVCaCzCh13eAABEAQYASABEgL2aPD_BwE
For $120.00 it was hard to pass up. Technically it cost me $141.97 ($119.99 plus $2.80 processing fee $9.89 shipping $9.29 sales tax) - 11% ($13.20 as they calculated it, which it should be $15.62) = $128.97
FAR cheaper the "BEEFER"!!
Ward, take it easy on the "BEEFER" ???

Alright boys and
grills girls! The results are in. Before we get to the good stuff, I have to say that this little cooker is fantastic! As long as it holds up, it'll be WELL worth the money.

Steph's Rib Eye, seared on the Caveman
(https://i.imgur.com/0mVqTje.jpg)
All of the steaks were started on the Pit Boss, to get some wood fired flavor, at 100 degrees each was plated and awaited their fate in the searer of choice. I ramped up the PB and opened the gates of hell to let the flame sear mine :P
We ALL immensely enjoyed our steaks. The Caveman can cook the steak as well as sear. As you see in some of the pics, I lowered the steaks away further from the heat to allow cooking more so than searing.
If you're on the fence about this little gadget, just go ahead and get it while the rebate is in effect.
I wanted to take more pics but I had 2 different smoking hot cookers to tend to, I was lucky to get what I got, lol!

Oh yeah, forgot the deets as the kids say, lol
Cajun seasoned shrimp cooked in the Cosori air fryer, sauteed shrooms, pan roasted yellow potatoes and onions, little piece of garlic bread toasted. Good stuff!

Rg & Steph...you both are trying to get me in trouble...….those look as good as it can be.....Darn I want that new toy? Man I could use that at METLIFE for a Guardians game...I really could......It would come in handy...It would be great,,,,,,It would fit in my car...….But then I would be single
Hey how many one lbs steaks can you cook at the same time on that Puppy? Thanks in advance
I bet you could use this at the games https://www.menards.com/main/outdoors/outdoor-recreation/camping/rv-accessories/camco-1-lb-rv-campfire-propane-adapter/59214/p-1444426142062.htm

If it had to racks you could cook more steaks by rotating them as you cook them to keep them warm
-
You guys are lucky that your Home Depot's carry nice stuff. I went to Home Depot yesterday afternoon for some things I needed and as always walked through the outdoor cooking isle and only see the usual regular grills. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Cool looking little cooker! Is there anything else it does other than cook a good steak? You know.... can it bake or anything?
Where does it stand for you, is it a keeper?

You can cook whatever will fit on one rack. You adjust how charred you want it by lowering the rack to another level and/or lowering the temp of the infrared. It's a little guy, you'd have NO problem making it part of your tailgating setup, doesn't take up much room.
If it had two racks you could cook more steaks by rotating them as you cook them to keep them warm
I suppose you could. The one closest to the top is going to get the infrared love. When it gets toasty, move it below up and next man up!

Caj, I bought this online from Menards, Home Depot doesn't have anything like it that I am aware of. I did see that new cooker that Jack got up there, that thing looks legit! I guess if you wanted to, you could bake on it, maybe a cupcake, lol. It's sole purpose really is for searing. It's a portable broiler pretty much. As far as where it stands? Yes, it's a keeper. The price point alone makes it worth it!

Ahhhh..... I must be thinking of that other new cooker posted.That Masterbuilt thing.

Yep, Walmart has them, HD has them and Ace has them. Actually Amazon has them too! Smoke says they're releasing a larger one soon. I've never owned anything Masterbuilt but from what I saw yesterday at HD, they look worth the money. I know $500 ain't cheap but it's relatively inexpensive I think for what it is. All things considered, a Weber kettle is a good bit cheaper but it doesn't have the Wifi/Bluetooth connectivity and ability to control temps. That's insane for a charcoal grill like that. The technology is what you're paying for.

I ordered online and got the rebate, sent it off yesterday in the mail. Once you order, they send your receipt with a .pdf file to print out.
