I am sitting here 3 hours after dinner and I still can’t get enough to drink. I have already had 4 glasses of water and a diet Sunkist (so delicious, you can’t tell it’s diet!) and I still can’t quench my thirst. Why, you ask? Because I just choked down a turkey breast that I...
Can’t find an apron that captures your true BBQ style? How about making your own? While you are at it, make a matching hat, why not?? WikiHow has an article with step by step directions on how to make both. This looks like an awful lot of work to me and I can’t see myself...
Really into coffee? Starbucks just not cutting it for you anymore? Why not roast your own beans on the grill? This drum allows you to do just that, on the rotisserie. I have no idea how the thing works, but seems like another good use for that rotisserie you never seem to get around using! ...
Found this article today and it was a good reminder for everyone using a gas grill. Here are some great safety tips worth repeating: ALWAYS use a grill outside and in a well ventilated area. Enclosed areas can get really hot and possibly melt the hose from the gas to the grill. Use soapy water...

I’d venture to guess that some cut of chicken is just about everyone’s first victim on the grill. Grilling chicken has got to rank up there right next to burgers and hot dogs for all time favorite items for the grill. I’d also venture to guess that there are more grilled chicken recipes on the...
Last week we talked about how to grill a perfect hamburger by focusing on technique. This week we’ll keep focusing on grilling technique and walk step by step through grilling steaks like an expert. You see, a lot of people really over-think grilling steaks. I have had some really elaborately prepared beef jerky grilled by...
File this under the “why didn’t I think about that” folder. The Kitchn is a site I follow religiously in my Google Reader. Today they they published this quick tip about shredding and freezing leftover chicken for later use in other recipes. As they point out, shredding the chicken prior to freezing allows it to...
What’s more American than grilling hamburgers? Hamburgers and hot dogs are the whole reason they put grills in public parks, in my opinion. Burgers and hot dogs are the whole reason we show up to the stadium 6 hours before the game (well, and beer I guess…). We discussed hot dogs the other day, so...
