    Big Boy Barbecue

    My parents found this at a yard sale and gave it to me for Christmas. It’s got some pretty funny stuff in it! I like the meat temps on the rib roast recipe in the pic I included, on another page it says to cook pork roast to 190 . I included a pic of the needed equipment, which includes asbestos gloves .

        Take a close look at the rotisserie setup. How in the world is that whole prime rib gonna spin? The center of gravity is way off. Plus check out the thermometer that spins with the roast. No a bad idea !!!

      Nice find and entertaining reading. The Golden Flame Starter sounds like some kind of flammable gel. Also, shall we presume that the guy on the cover is wearing their asbestos gloves?

        I had a buddy bring a tube of something like that on a camping trip to aid starting camp fires. It looked like a loose petroleum jelly and smelled like kerosene.

            Ok...here’s some more. I like the advice to cook turkey to 190 (it also says 190 for pork and chicken). The part about husbands doing the barbecuing and wives just have to make dessert and salad is pretty good! The short rib recipe calls for grilling slowly, 25-35 minutes

              Pretty sure that has my Pops' London Broil recipe. Except they skipped the "Char the crap out of it, and make sure it's overcooked" step. For a guy who was a pretty good cook and worked his way through college waiting tables in a pretty decent steakhouse, Pop was a horrorshow at the grill.

            I always wondered where my mom got her chicken recipe. It was always served with a meat cleaver and gallons of water.

            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

            Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
            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!

            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.
