In this episode, Homer is challenged to a cooking competition after he finds a grill and becomes popular by making food with it.
When Homer eats the best food he ever had, the biker says the smoker was made from a meteorite with a unique beehive shape that traps all the fat and sauce from every grilling.
Bart and Lisa discover the thief gave Santa's Little Helper natural peanut butter to distract him.
The duo proceeds to the only store that sells natural peanut butter where security footage shows Nelson purchasing it.
Homer, Bart, and Lisa give up hope, but Marge says she can handle the smoke-off with a rented spice rack.
They chase the phone's owner and discover he is Scotty’s son, Tyler, who framed his father because he was too busy with his show.
Tyler had met Nelson playing the tablet game and hired him to steal Homer's smoker to frame his father.
The plot was inspired by the theft of executive producer Matt Selman's family's neighbor's barbecue grill in Georgia.
Selman also noted the theft of a grill from John Mueller Meat Company in Austin, Texas the week before the episode aired as life imitating art.
Simpsons regular Hank Azaria played Scotty Boom, a chef who competes against Homer.
