SMOKE & SEAR

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

Full transparency about how Smoke & Sear makes money — last updated June 2026.

The short version

Smoke & Sear is reader-supported. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps us keep the site running and the cooks coming. It does not influence which products we recommend.

Amazon Associates Program

Smoke & Sear is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Product prices and availability shown via Amazon links are accurate as of the date/time of purchase and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of that product.

Other affiliate partners

In addition to Amazon, we participate in affiliate or partner programs with select brands and retailers, which may include ThermoWorks, Traeger, BBQGuys, and Grill Masters Club, among others. When you purchase through these links we may receive a commission. As with Amazon, this never affects our editorial rankings or scores.

FTC compliance

In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, we disclose that we have a financial relationship with some of the companies whose products we review and link to. We display this disclosure clearly in the footer of every page and on this dedicated page so you always know when a link may earn us a commission.

Our editorial promise

  • We choose our "Editor's Pick" and rankings before considering commission rates.
  • We recommend products we genuinely believe are the best for the reader's needs and budget.
  • We will tell you when a cheaper or non-affiliate option is the smarter buy.
  • Affiliate relationships never buy a better score or placement on this site.
