Celebrating Culinary Excellence + A Smoked Secret Unlocked

Behind every unforgettable dish is a chef making magic happen. Too often, their creativity and commitment go unseen—but here at Game Changer Smoker®, we’ve been shining a spotlight on the culinary professionals who are changing the game.

That’s the heart of our award-winning series, Trippin’ in the Kitchen — a Food Network-style culinary travel show hosted by Executive Chef Tripp Rion. In each episode, Tripp visits chefs across the country using the Game Changer Smoker to create incredible flavor and run more efficient kitchens.
