Get Your Grill On

As promised I wanted to show everyone what a nice job the Char Broil double door smokers does with smoking Jalapenos utilizing the Chile Grill from Iron dessert.

I took the fresh jalapenos and utilizing the jalapeno corer that came with the grill cut the tops off the peppers and had them hollowed out no time. […]

When it comes to ribs, I’m partial to baby backs - lean, tender, tasty, and fairly quick to cook. I usually do them over an indirect heat at 225°F for about 5 hours. But for this batch of ribs I decided to try going with direct heat and rely on a foiled cooking technique that […]

Our friends know that my wife and I are huge fans of Hawaii, Hawaiian food and any convergence of Hawaiian ingredients and barbecue. They also know that I seek inspiration from the most unusual sources when it comes to trying new food ideas.

The Smokenator is a device which converts your Weber Kettle into a smoker. It is a stainless steel insert that fits to the side of the kettle. […]

Right out of the bottle this sauce hits you with spiced up flavor mirrored with a wonderfully rich tasting mouth-feel. It’s not watered down like store bottled ketchup nor is it as sweet as many familiar brands on the market. A simple scan of the ingredients shows that the lineup is entirely organic and gluten-free, […]

I recently set up my new Char-Broil Double Door Smoker/Grill combo and was eager to get something on the grill! So I followed the seasoning instructions, coated the interior of the grill with vegetable oil and built a small fire in the firebox and let the smoker get up to temp and sealed it […]

This apron came from Bazura Biz, a Canadian company that designs and sells eco-friendly bags, aprons and accessories to help sustain a Women’s Co-Op in the Philippines.
