      So sorry Ed. They really are family, and in some ways harder than losing a 2-legged family member! A toast to Gretta...

        It hurts when they pass on. Great that she saved your life.

        My last pup was a Texas rat terror named Tweety Pie. When I started cooking BBQ, she was my #1 sidekick and fan. When she was happy, the wag started just behind the front legs. Still miss her. I was at a meat up years ago where a pig farmer broke up a whole pig to cook. She brought me the tail to cook for her. I did.

            I'm very sorry EdF. Dogs are such great companions. I'm still mourning the loss of Dessie the Ridgeback who went a few months back. She's in the back next to a big rock I sit on. I still go out there just to reminisce.

                I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I put it in my food.

                One cannot have too many grills.

                        If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

                        slow n sear
                        The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

                        The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

                        the good one grill
                        The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

                        Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

                        The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

                        The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

                        Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                        The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                        Grilla pellet smoker
                        We always liked Grilla. The small 31.5" x 29.5" footprint makes it ideal for use where BBQ space is limited, as on a condo patio.

                        Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

                        PK 360 grill
                        The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

                        Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

                        kareubequ bbq smoker

                        The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

                        masterbuilt gas smoker
                        This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.
