What is Nitro cobalt steel?

Nitro cobalt steel is a high-performance blade steel designed for exceptional sharpness, toughness, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting edge retention.

What does 62 Rockwell mean?

A hardness rating of 62 Rockwell indicates a very hard blade capable of holding a fine cutting edge for extended periods when used and maintained properly.

What is the benefit of a hollow-ground blade?

A hollow grind creates a thinner cutting profile behind the edge, reducing drag and helping the blade move smoothly through food.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
