Get Your Grill On

Fire safety is very important to all of us here at Get Your Grill On. Remember always, that just because you’re comfortable around live fire; fire can still be a destructive and dangerous force. Stay alert and be safe out there.
With the live fire cooking coming in earnest to us here in the Northern […]

Henry Ford was a damn good entrepreneur. One of the by-products of making Model Ts was a lot of scrap wood. Now good ol’ Henry said to himself - how can I make a dollar out of that scrap wood? How about making charcoal? Yeah - that’s it - charcoal. And that’s how Kingsford Charcoal […]

The Maverick ET-73 Redi-Chek® Wireless Remote Smoker Thermometer is the perfect tool for barbecuing.
Big cuts of meat require low heat and long cooking times to be transformed into that smoky, tender fare that we crave. And those long times mean that the pit master is often chained to the cooker. That’s fine if it’s […]

My only complaint with the Big Green Egg ceramic cooker is that grilling directly over the lump can be a little challenging. The standard direct setup puts the cooking grid right on top of the hot coals. The heat can get plenty intense and the angle makes it hard to get at the food to […]

In celebration of Earth Day, I’d like to take a break from talking about grilling meat to talk about, well… grilling local meat.
Becoming a localvore - a person dedicated to eating food grown and produced locally - is one of the best ways you can contribute to a healthier environment. Eating locally:

Creates less pollution - […]

With the Colorado Avalanche playing in the NHL Stanly Cup Playoffs, life in my home is crazy to say the least! Food at anytime is a priority, but during NHL Hockey playoff time, Smoking and Grilling are a priority! One of the things we love and eat a lot of around the homestead is Smoked […]

You’ve heard of chicken fried steak? Well this is grill fried chicken. The long cook over indirect heat renders the fat out the skin so you get the crispy goodness and a juicy inside of traditionally fried chicken plus all the smoke and spice of the grill.

1 cut-up broiler/fryer chicken
2 cups low fat buttermilk

The Tofu Challenge was an idea of Scott Pinkerton from the ‘Pragmatic Chef’. He claimed I was making fun of some Tofu dish he made. This is my version of Cedar Plank Roasted Tofu.
