It doesn’t seem to matter which BBQ forum I’m on, but there is often a discussion about which thermometer people think is best. The digital remotes are popular, but results on quality seem to abound.

Of all the appetizers I have done over the years, none of them have received the reviews and requests I get for more then the ABT (Atomic Buffalo Turds). I wrote an article for “Get Your Grill On” a couple of months ago on the preparation and techniques used to make these appetizers. Since […]

I’ve been mentioning the new Big Green Egg in my posts recently, but I’ve not done a story on it yet. The weekend before Christmas, we visited a hardware store going out of business. They had a new, large Egg priced as a medium, AND 30% off. It worked out that I got a large […]
