The fine folks at WaterJel recently sent me a sample of their emergency burn care product, BurnJel Plus with Pain Relieving Lidocaine HCL 2.5%.

This weekend four friends, my wife and I drove down to Washington D.C. (it’s only 20 minutes away, it’s not an epic journey) to see the 16th Annual Safeway National Capital BBQ Battle for the first time.

In the past they only had about a dozen grills lined up [...]

Leslie Haywood, Founder and President of Charmed Life Products and maker of Grill Charms, recently emailed me to tell me about her Grill Charms products. Grill Charms are like wine charms but designed to be put into meats before you cook them, rather than existing products that merely mark meat after you cook them. It [...]

I just got married last weekend and so posting will be light as we go on our honeymoon to Hawaii, I wish all you winter BBQ’ers the best and will see you all when I return March 17th.

Char-Broil sent me their “Basket Case Tool Set” a few months ago and only recently did I get a chance to try it out. The course of the day was a few salmon steaks I picked up from Costco and using a basket is really the only way to cook salmon (unless you go the [...]
