The best charcoal grill available has gotten even better! Weber has improved their Performer charcoal grill for the 2015 year. Gone are the ‘cheap plastic’ tables that many complain about scratching, staining, and cracking. Weber has ditched the glass reinforced nylon table surface and replaced it with a hammer finished enameled METAL surface. The new [...]

When I think of writing an introduction for someone, I begin to panic. I say to myself, what am I going to write? Will I screw it up? Did I leave something out? Then I remind myself that it’s not babies or medicine and that I can relax. So, with that said, it’s time to [...]

I want to run down a few standard uses of aluminum foil in BBQ and also offer up a few, perhaps novel ideas to try out. A lot of folks know the standard term “Texas Crutch,” the use of foil wrapping to speed cooking, stop color darkening & preserve cooking juices. mostly this is used for [...]

What started out as a simple idea to cook some food and share pictures and ideas with friends somehow transformed into an online BBQ event of mass proportions!

I figured it would be a fun idea to dedicate a day to celebrating this hobby and cooking some good food! Extremely simple [...]

Back in 1995, the NFL sponsored a Bar-B-Q competition, with the prize being a very limited Weber Master Touch (MT) NFL Edition grill. Here’s what Weber had to say about these rare grills: “This is an extremely rare 22” kettle. These special editions were never sold at retail, they were only for the official NFL Tailgate [...]

I’ve been wanting to restore this old Dutch Oven (somethings referred to as a Camp Dutch Oven because it has feet and a raised-lip lid) for some time. I found it at an antique store in Railroad PA years ago, and it sat in my barn gathering dust and more rust since then. I had [...]
