Looftlighter Charcoal Lighter Review

I have a lot of grilling gadgets, so for me to say that the Looftlighter electric charcoal lighter is my favorite gadget purchase in the last 2 years is saying something. Go back any further than that and I would have to count my Big Steel Keg in what would be a close race for…

My Favorite Discontinued Charcoal Grill, The Bubba Keg

Cooks like a ceramic Big Green Egg, but is built for portability? Where can I get one of these things? Bummer, you can’t, someone decided it wasn’t a good product but I beg to differ. As you could imagine, I have quite the collection of grills in my garage and on my patio. So many,…
