what is your go-to toy for outdoor cooking?

i have the orion cooker
http://www.theorioncooker.com/
it's sweet
not low and slow
no smoke ring, but tender, juicy ribs and turkey/chicken (less than 7 min a lb)
i have been told that my turkey is better than imu turkey
and no hassles with oil disposal/burning flesh with a turkey fryer

i have a friend who bought a la caja china
http://www.lacajachina.com/
check out the videos with bobby flay, martha stewart and andrew zimmern
he made some KILLER roast pork just like the chinese restaurants

he has now switched to the big green egg that he got from POP
http://www.biggreenegg.com/
they just had an eggfest a few weeks ago where you could get the used eggs for cheap
it was the first one in HI
people look forward to them because they can sample food and it is the best/only way to get an egg at a discount

just wondering watcha all got
perhaps we can get a cookoff going for a 2ahawaii get-together

Man, that Orion cooker looks mean as hell. I'm sure you get better results than the electric smoker I used to have.
Time for a 2a Pau Hana BBQ. 

I have an imu in the back. Don't use it for everyday cooking though, mostly Christmas, Easter, new years, birthdays, mothers day.

wow, bass m
that's cool

how much space do you need?
what are the dimensions of the pit?

 Rough estimates.  Mines is around a 6ft circle, maybe, around 2.3- 3 feet deep. I think.  Something like that.  Got the rocks from waianae.  Keawe wood from my old job. I gotta start growing my own bananas too though.

yeah, the orion rocks
it's like a turbo dutch oven
it cooks with heat, steam (I use beer or POG), convection, and smoke
coals are outside the cooker, so no charcoal/firelighter smell/taste
less than 7 min a lb for chicken/turkey
less than one hour for 6 racks of costco baby back ribs
