The other week the fine people over at RedEnvelope.com contacted me and offered me a chicken drumstick grilling rack to try. (Update – It is noted that RedEnvelope does not carry the drumstick grilling rack anymore, but it can be purchased from Amazon for around $15) I was only too happy to oblige as I…
When you have a good steak, all you really need is salt and pepper. However, we can’t always have amazing steak lying around. So sometimes you need to season your steak to improve on its natural flavor. So I have been fiddling around with different seasonings and have found a great combinations of spices. The…
So I have been trying to perfect ribs for a while. I am always on the lookout for new techniques or tools to make the perfect competition rib. Well I went back to basics and scored with an amazing rib. The key was a nice rub and a finely tuned barbecue smoker. The final ribs…
Happy Cinco de Mayo!! In honor of Cinco de Mayo I decided to do a little list of my favorite south of the border recipes. Since this is Cocktail Wednesday the first has to be a refreshing beverage. Nothing starts off a good Cinco de Mayo like a Margarita!! The Margarita
I am always on the look out for new sauce recipes. This past weekend I dusted off the smoker and made some pulled pork. Dana’s family was in town and her Dad said he was a fan of Memphis style sauces. So I went around the interwebs and found this one. It was quick and…
Every Friday I usually list the events occurring in DC over the weekend. But with Christmas so close I had to take a break and list the top gadgets and presents for home grillers. Granted in a majority of the country it is snowing, but if your friends, spouses or children are anything like me,…

The briskets that you get at a standard market are prepackaged briskets that are pre-trimmed and do not have the deckle or point attached. The deckle is the top meaty/fatty area on the…
Today I woke up and it was beautiful. I decided that I should grill something. So I went downstairs to check the grill and see how much charcoal I had. Come to find out, I was out of charcoal. So I took a trip to Lowes. Little did I know that I was going to…
A couple of weeks ago I reviewed a cookbook by Ardie Davis on barbecuing. In the book he had a recipe for butt in a bag. Due to the name alone I had to make it. Basically you smoke a pork butt like normal, but halfway through you place it in a paper bag. The…
I grill and barbecue all of the time, but I usually don’t make my own sauce. It is quite easy to do, but I never seem to use the right ingredients to make it tasty. I have done it in the past and it really hasn’t turned out that great. I usually make the sauce…
