I love ribs. I still prefer to smoke them, just because I really like that deep smoke flavor. However, a couple years ago when it was cold and I was still living in my apartment (and they wouldn’t let me grill outside anymore!), I had a hankering for some ribs. I hadn’t had much success … Read more
In observance of the Christmas Holiday, I’d like to extend a happy holidays to everyone. Enjoy the time with your families and friends. We’ll be back with you on Monday with more commentary.
I felt like I wanted to have a post for today, but like everyone else, am beginning to feel somewhat overwhelmed by the list of things I want to get done before Saturday. So I thought I’d bring you in for a little unorganized rambling. Barbecue as a Gift How many of you give some … Read more
I cannot….CAN NOT…..stand dry poultry. The possibility of dry poultry has turned me off of eating turkey in most cases, unless you smother it in something else (not that it needed to be said, but this is a great excuse for gravy).

There’s a reason why companies exist to bring less expensive options to the masses. They try to cater to those who cannot afford the name brand items but still want … Read more
Winter is nigh. For many of you, you’ve already noticed the temps dropping and may have even seen the evil white stuff make an appearance a time or two (or seven). When that happens, do you still fire up the grill or the smoker? It takes more fuel to get to and keep temp on … Read more
