Music While Smoking

[Smokin J's PIts]

Does anyone have any speakers, either built in or attached to their cooker? I have been wanting to do this for some time now to simply avoid having to drag out one more item when were cooking. What I am concerned about is longevity of the equipment, and looks of course, if anyone has any feedback or pics they would like to share, please do.

I thought about putting some marine speakers in the cart of my UDS. Haven´t done it now but I think those marine / boat speakers should live long even when its parked outside and if using some good brand I´m sure they sound good. You could even use a whole marine radio with a 12V converter.

Went to a comp last month. The idiots, err, competitors next to us had a huge trailer with speakers blasting at all hours of the day. They played the same 20 songs from their ipod, most of them Hillbilly RAP (?) and songs with a lot of language that you wouldn't want your Mom to hear, much less children. Don't be that guy.

I am thinking of just getting one of those Bluetooth speakers that I can drag outside and use when I am tending my WSM. Something that I can recharge and play anything from my iPhone.

I have a small pod speaker run by the Iphone that fits if with my spices. Great sound.

[Mr.OiSat]

THoey1963, I didn´t thought about that. I only thought about having some music when sitting by the smoker at home. I can imagine that this is annoying during a comp.

[ButtBurner]

NO

I like peace and quiet. I like the sound of the fire crackling while I am relaxing by the pit, beer in hand.

I have speakers mounted outside on the back patio. When I'm in the driveway, tailgating, or anywhere else, I use this:

There are another pair of speakers on the backside.

Be sure to play some great BBQ tunes when you're all set up:

Bee Gees - More Than a Woman (Saturday Night Fever Movie 1977) - YouTube

I take the JBL Charge. It's a portable Bluetooth speaker and play Pandora radio on it. It's usually the Electric Blues Radio station. Nothing better on a beautiful day smoking than Blues, Booze, and BBQ!!!!

Got an ion job rocker I drag out side. Use Bluetooth from my phone or tablet. Gonna take it to our final comp this weekend, but no rap-a-billy will be played.

And I agree with you 100%, but when im at home I like to listen to a little classic rock, some blues, and even some classic country, I dont turn it up to maximum distortion, I keep the volume low. But I can also see the psycological effect of playing very annoying music really loud at comps, not that I agree with it, but I can see some doing that.

[BBQ_MAFIA]

I agree.

NO

The JBL charge is all you need.

[K-Train]

Look up jawbone jambox. They are great

I'm a bit of an electronics junkie...and this is one of my favorite purchases. Amazon.com: Logitech Bluetooth Wireless Speaker: Electronics@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410n9xIR%2BpL.@@AMEPARAM@@410n9xIR%2BpL

Unlike many of the smaller bluetooth speakers, this actually has decent bass. It can run off a rechargable battery or AC power. It's capable of playing loud enough to fill a large room or outside during a cook.

I use it almost every day.

[chefhumma]

go blue tooth .Small speakers and lots of flexibilities when it comes to the device that use to play the tunes.

I'm a DJ so if someone wants to get loud i just get louder lol.

But no i have a powered speaker Alto i just plug my phone up to it.. Usually on Ojays, Temptations, or Frankie Beverly and Maze Pandora station and volume set on Very low.. Does the trick for me.

this speaker will get loud enough for small outdoor gatherings.. i even DJ small backyard parties with a pair of these.. if you go any larger than that can easily add a sub..
