@Robert, I would frame it as what problem are you trying to solve with the Fire butler? You already have other versatile accessories so is there a function gap that you are trying to fill? Will the Fire Butler make grilling that much more enjoyable for you?

Hey folks thanks for the replies. To be honest I had forgotten about this post and mostly the Fire Butler. Still think about the TTT. As for the FB, it is an expensive gadget but the griddle feature somewhat intrigued me. The rest of the features not so much. I doubt that I would buy it based on price, but I did have enough curiosity to ask for opinions and thoughts.

I've made numerous trips around the sun and maybe a couple of trips to the moon (or a least got close) in my younger days.  I have been cooking on Weber's of all kinds since 1985 when a friend of mine gifted me his MBH that his parents had passed down to him several years before. I would guess there were people who were skeptical when the GPS was created as they preferred the road atlas. Heck, I didn't like texting either, but I digress.

Now, about the TTT... I don't know if the price is still twenty bucks and I can only think I would use it for cooking chicken on my kettle, but  I guess I should buy one and see if it will work.

Thanks,

Robert

I have a fire butler and so far I like it very much, did a large cook for the first time using it and it did a good job with some user error. I used a total of 123 KBB and 11 oz of wood and got 9 solid hrs before I ran out of daylight and finish in oven. Can't wait to use the griddle to make some smash burgers and some philly cheese steaks.

Also how do you insert a photo?
