Best Coffee Ever for Long Smoking Nights or Camping 30 Jun 2021 3:45 PM (4 years ago)

My Favorite Ever Coffee - Chocolate Cherry Bourbon A good cup of coffee can be critical for those all night smoking jobs or when you are camping out and need a jump start. There are tons of coffees out there, but the outdoors just calls for something special. And Fire Department Coffee is just the ticket. I've been a fan of Fire Department Coffee for a long time - so long that I wore

Meat District - High Quality Grilling Foods Delivered to Your Front Porch 10 Oct 2020 4:44 PM (5 years ago)

 When I got in from town today, there was a package on my porch. It was a variety pack of grilling meats from Meat District. Getting meat by mail was originally a strange concept for me, but I'd been a mail order meat girl for more than a decade. With the pandemic locking things down this year, ordering home delivery certainly felt like a very good idea. And, I really enjoy trying out

Backcountry & Beyond, Salisbury, NC - Traeger and Outdoor Gear - Thumbs Up 30 Nov 2019 2:00 PM (5 years ago)

 Good Eating Today at Backcountry & Beyond, Salisbury, NC My son spotted a sign that said "Traeger." Hum. Interesting. I've long been a Traeger fan, but I'd not known of a place in my town to shop for their pellet grills and accessories. Life is changing. I may not have to live mostly online when it comes to outdoor cooking, although I've loved the last decade plus of "

Traditional Chopped Pork Sandwich Lexington NC Style from Smiley's BBQ Restaurant When I am in Lexington, NC (about 45 minutes from my house), I have to get some real down home barbecue which is what Lexington is famous for.

Weber's Ultimate Grilling: New Flagship Grilling Cookbook 23 Feb 2019 11:30 AM (6 years ago)

Weber's Ultimate Grilling by Jamie Purviance I was excited to hear that Weber was putting out a new rather comprehensive grilling cookbook for 2019. It's been about nine years since the company has showcased a flagship cookbook. I've been writing about grilling and smoking for around fifteen years now and have the good fortune to see a ton of outdoor cooking books. Some of my favorite

How to Grill Beef Short Ribs Sliced Thin 6 Jul 2017 7:54 PM (8 years ago)

Beef Short Ribs on the Grill Crowd Cow recently sent me samples of some of their meat which is grass fed. A cow goes up online, and everyone can buy what they want. The beef ribs were thin cut as you can see. The round circles are bones with meat around them. First, to make these taste really fabulous, you want to marinate. I have so many marinades that it's rare that I ever make my own. In

Full Moon Barbecue Products - Variety and Yummy 1 Jul 2017 12:08 AM (8 years ago)

Full Moon Barbecue Pack I'd never heard of Full Moon barbecue products before, but they got in touch to see if I'd see what I thought of their products. I had a bit of spare time, so I thought I'd see (especially since they have an Alabama white sauce). The first thing I tried was the seasoning. It smelled really nice as I sprinkled, and I loved the flavor of wings before they were sauced.

Crowd Cow - Know Your Meat is Grass Fed and Fresh 29 Jun 2017 5:47 PM (8 years ago)

Crowd Cow Meat When You Want to be SURE The guys over at Crowd Cow sent me an email to see if I'd like to check out their new idea. Crowd Cow lets buyers select the cuts they want along with other buyers. This means you have a specific cut from a specific farm and not grinder mill, big-business meat that can be from goodness knows where and from cows that may be boosted up on steroids or just

Grilling is For Fun in the U.S. but Outdoor Cooking Can Be Critical in Other Countries. 3 May 2017 5:25 PM (8 years ago)

My son, Eli, in the Peace Corps in Panama Thanks to everyone. They made the full amount and are starting on the outdoor stoves. Bless those who help others.&nbsp; When my youngest son graduated in Environmental, he decided he wanted to start off with service to the Peace Corps which helps people in other nations. While we may think we are disadvantaged in the United States, that often means

Cave Tools Wing Rack & Drip Pan for Barbecue Grilling Wings and Other Parts 3 May 2017 4:41 PM (8 years ago)

Wing Rack with Drip Pan by Cave Tools Company I had never thought about getting a chicken wing rack. I grill some wings and the chicken drumettes, but I've also been old school, turning and turning. Cave Tools got in touch and asked if I'd test and write about a product if they sent one out. I am pretty over my rain forest fall and leg injury, so I thought I check it out. The chicken wing

San Francisco Smoked Whiskey Salt Makes my Steak Spot On 19 Apr 2017 3:16 PM (8 years ago)

San Francisco Company Whiskey Smoked Salt I had considered getting some salt and smoking it and then grinding it down, but the San Francisco Salt Co. got in touch, and I discovered the wheel had already been invented. SFSC has smoked salt, and it is not the fake "smoke in a bottle" stuff which I do not like at all. This is naturally smoked salt, and it tastes great. San Francisco Whiskey

Barbecue "Fails" from the Experts Including the Barbecue Master 27 Jan 2017 1:47 PM (8 years ago)

Oops! Fire Gets Out of Hand Due to Full Drip Pan We all have those huge BBQ fails now and then or even little errors that make the grill-out less than stellar. Someone forgot to empty the grease holder in the back of the grill before a simple hot dog and hamburger grill out (above), and it took some quick moving to save the day. I jerked the grill door open and cut the gas which worked like

Pendleton Barbecue Sauce - Yes That is Pendleton Whiskey BBQ Sauce 5 Feb 2016 2:04 PM (9 years ago)

Pendleton Barbecue Sauce - Original and Hot/Spicy I try not to read much about a barbecue sauce before I do a grill test. I like to see if I can catch the flavor layers without having read them. It was cold outside, but I wanted to try out Pendleton's BBQ Sauce. I went with boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, because they grill fast. Good thing. If you look close, you will see it started

Bertolli Sauce and Smoked Meatballs on the BBQ Grill - Happy 150th Birthday 7 Nov 2015 3:31 PM (9 years ago)

&nbsp;Happy 150th Birthday Bertolli We have a Italian sauce issue at my house. I love homemade, but my boys think the jarred is better. Go figure. This meant that I was a little worried about trying out Bertolli (which I've not had before), but I thought it would be worth a try. They would send out the beautiful box of their 150th birthday gourmet sauces, and I might or might not find a

AC Lens Team Sunglasses Just in Time for Tailgating Season 16 Oct 2015 3:53 PM (10 years ago)

Eli Sporting Michigan AC Lens Sunglasses AC Lens asked me about trying out their sunglasses for tailgate season.

Johnsonville Heat and Eat Breakfast Sausage Links on the BBQ Grill 13 Oct 2015 2:31 PM (10 years ago)

Johnsonville Sausage Links - Heat/Brown and Eat We use Johnsonville brats around here when we tailgate or want a hearty, yummy dinner on the grill, so I thought Johnsonville sausages sounded like a good bet when they offered me a couple of sample packages to try out the new lines. The Johnsonville sausage links are like the ones you get at restaurants or at the grocery store and generally

Napa Jack's Barbecue Sauce Grilled Pork Chops (sauce review) 23 Sep 2015 3:43 PM (10 years ago)

Napa Jack's Barbecue Sauces You better turn on the lights before you go feeling around in the dark for something stiff to drink, or you might grab a bottle of Napa Jack's. Yes. The bottles look like liquor bottles, but they contain some very yummy barbecue sauce. One sauce even has wine in the recipe though not liquor. Napa Jack's asked if I'd like sample bottles to see what I thought of

Wet Rubz - Best Barbecue Grilling Marinade So Far 12 Sep 2015 4:15 PM (10 years ago)

&nbsp; Wet Rubz Santa Maria Style BBQ Marinade I must confess my go-to barbecue marinade is Worcestershire and Kraft Italian dressing, because I haven't been able to find really good BBQ marinades. They are loads of rubs and sauces but not many marinades. When Wet Rubz got in touch, I was thinking of rubs, but this is actually a marinade. It's heavier than a North Carolina vinegar, so it

CLR BBQ Grill Cleaner - Good Stuff 14 Aug 2015 10:30 AM (10 years ago)

CLR Now Has Grill Cleaner I've been using CLR inside for a long time. It helps a lot on the hard water we have out here in the country. CLR cuts through the lime and leaves the fixtures nice and shiny. When CLR got in touch about their new grill cleaner, I was excited. It wasn't around here yet, but I thought it would be a good pick, since the inside CLR was so good. The company sent me a

How to Make White Barbecue Sauce - Alabama Style BBQ 3 Aug 2015 1:57 PM (10 years ago)

Starting to Lather on the Alabama White Barbecue Sauce&nbsp; In Alabama and other places in the South, white barbecue sauce is popular. It’s a mayonnaise based barbecue sauce and very rich. It’s also sinfully tasty. White barbecue sauce is a great change of pace for a grilled chicken party. It does look and taste different which is part of why it’s fun. If you’re used to tomato based
