Affiliate Disclosure

This page explains how Outdoor Cooking makes money, in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines for affiliate websites.

What is an affiliate link?

Most outbound product links on Outdoor Cooking are affiliate links. When you click one and complete a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission — typically 1% to 8% of the sale. The price you pay does not change.

Which programs we participate in

• Amazon Associates Program — as an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

We may add additional programs (such as Skimlinks, Sovrn Commerce, Awin, or direct partnerships with manufacturers like Weber, Big Green Egg, Traeger, or specialty retailers like ATBBQ.com) as we expand coverage.

How affiliate links affect what we recommend

They don't. We pick products through the methodology described on our About page. Then we attach affiliate links to the products that win on the merits.

In practice, this means we routinely recommend products whose affiliate programs pay us less than the alternatives. We've also recommended buying used in cases where that was right (Big Green Egg and Weber kettles in particular hold value well on the secondary market) — those purchases earn us nothing.

How to identify affiliate links

Every product link on this site that opens in a new tab and goes to a retailer should be assumed to be an affiliate link. We add the rel="sponsored noopener nofollow" attribute to every affiliate link to comply with FTC and search-engine guidelines.

Cookies and tracking

Clicking an affiliate link may set a tracking cookie that allows the retailer to attribute a future purchase to this site (typically 24 hours for Amazon).
