My First 30 Days with the Green Mountain Grills Daniel Boone Pellet Grill
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I switched to a pellet grill. This was a big move for me because I used to talk a lot of trash about pellet grills. I used to say pellet grills were “cheating” and I compared them to cooking in an oven; I didn’t mean that as a…

There are a lot of options for charcoal starters these days. Electric blowers, torches, chimneys, etc. This Kickstarter project is one of the latest and has over 3500 backers as of this post. As many people point out in the comments, there are many propane torches for sale for a lot cheaper from stores like…

We were boating a few months ago and met some friends on an island in Tampa Bay. Our friends had a brand new propane grill for their boat but forgot the regulator for the propane tank. We ended up making a makeshift stand for the grill’s grate and grilled our burgers over an open fire…

I like meat, delicious animal protein. I’m immediately skeptical when someone tries to sell me on a substitute with “you can’t even tell the difference”. I’m not a big fan of veggie burgers at all. I greeted the Beyond Meat Beast Burger with the same healthy does of “whatever” that I have given all of…

It was like Christmas in February when I came home to a box on the doorstep with the ThermoWorks logo. I know something really cool (for an gadget-obsessed grilling fanatic) is hiding inside the cardboard. In this case, ripping into the box revealed the new ThermoWorks ThermaQ Wifi wireless meat thermometer. This particular temperature-monitoring gadget…

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…

Thermapen Mk4 Meat Thermometer Review
We did a Thermapen review in the past, so you know how big of a fan we are. I can’t believe there was room for improvement, but I’m not as smart as those thermometer geniuses are Thermoworks. Did da Vinci feel the need to create a blonde Mona Lisa? Did Vince Gilligan think he needed to…

Thermoworks DOT Meat Thermometer Review
Thermoworks sent us another box of temperature measuring toys to play with this week. We have already reviewed and loved (I use the Thermapen almost daily) a few of their products, so I am always excited to see what they have coming out next. One of the products they sent this week is the new…

Thermoworks ChefAlarm Probe Thermometer Review
Thermoworks takes the guess work out of cooking, baking and grilling with their amazingly fast and accurate Thermapen. I have been using one for about 2 years now and I still don’t even know how to calibrate the thing because it never has failed the ice bath calibration test. So given my love for the…

Himalayan Salt Plate Grilling
Grilling on a Himalayan Salt Plate looks really cool. And as Billy Crystal’s character on SNL used to say “It is better to look good than to feel good”. And in cooking, how things look is important. With the salt plate, you also get the benefit of things tasting great too. The salt transfers to…
