Seems the more I use my BBQ42 & BBQ 26 and more people get to eat the food that comes off of it, the more I have to use it. Word of mouth of mouth has been spectacular! You turn out a very good product (food) with little effort, great equipment!

Just a short note to say thank you for your incredible chicken cookers.
We won the World Championship Hot wing competition and Festival in Memphis this past weekend, cooking on the 42 Chicken cooker using Wing grates.
This would not have been possible without your fantastic cooker.

I thought I was cooking on my my BBQ 26 until I got mine BBQ 42 more space, more chicken and more cooking with ease with ease.

Makes the best grilled chicken ever
Bill Carter –
Purchased one of these in October 2018 for retirement parties at my police dept. Definitely a work horse. The Chicken is amazing and the ability to cook 40lbs at one time saves time.
Paul McNerney –
This thing cooks as advertised! I put in about 20 lbs of charcoal,lit it in several places and then evenly spread out the coals. I put on 4 spatchcock chickens and flipped them every 10 or 15 minutes. The chickens were done in 1 hour flat and turned out golden brown and juicy. I am looking forward to a lot more cooks with this rig!
Carroll Roten –
Had my cooker for about 2 years. Without a doubt it’s the best grill I have ever owned. Always cooks delicious and juicy chicken. I love the flip tray. No more scorched hands from turning the chicken!
Freddie Brigham –
I have owned your chicken cooker for about 5 years and cooked for parties of 400 and I can truly say that I have never burned up a grate full of chicken. This grill makes perfect chicken every time. It is also very well made.

I have owned 6 or more of these over the last 20 years and cooked for weddings and banquets. It consistently cranks out top notch chicken. Definitely one of the BBQ worlds best kept secrets.
TOM BROWN –
My wife bought one for me last year I liked it so much I bought two more this year for my catering business. It truly is the best chicken cooker on the market
Bob Munchbach –
My wife and I catered a wedding reception a few weeks ago. I met a guy there that was boasting about being a grill master, but he wouldn’t eat BBQ chicken, not even his own. After the meal was served, he told me his son kept pestering him about trying the chicken until he tried a piece. He said he was skeptical at first, but he went back three times and said it was the best he has had in years.
The BBQ42 deserves all the credit, it makes it easy to make great BBQ chicken. And to think I got to primarily cook brats!
