Thermapen Mk4 Thermometer Review
I've had the Thermapen Mk4 for several years now and I can tell you right up front that it's without a doubt the best handheld thermometer available. It is the one that everyone else tries to match up to.. that's nothing but a compliment in my opinion! It's tough. For starters, it feels extremely solid in your hand. It [...]
Smoked and Seared Tri-tip for Labor Day 2019
There's nothing quite as good as tri-tip if you have a hankering for tender, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth, beef! If you don't agree with that statement then maybe beef is not your thing or you haven't had good tri-tip yet. I can help you fix that second issue! I just got a big box of meat from Porter Road, a company [...]
My 2 Favorite Pellet Smokers in 2019 and Why
Many people have emailed me over the last several months asking me which pellet smoker is best.

Smoked Whole Pork Belly
I've been wanting to show you how to make smoked whole pork belly and the time has come to make that happen. As you probably know, pork belly is the stuff that bacon is made of and it's just bursting with flavor-- the absolute best part of the pig if you ask me. It contains a lot of fat [...]
REC TEC Bull RT-700 Pellet Grill Review
REC TEC is a game changer where pellet grills are concerned. I've had mine for more than a year now and I can tell you that it is everything they say it is and more. There's a reason why this thing gets such awesome reviews. Mine was delivered by a freight truck and the huge box was strapped down [...]

ThermoWorks has now released their new temperature controller fan which works with the Signals, turning the thermometer into a temperature controller.

ThermoWorks Signals 4-Channel Thermometer Review
As most of you know, I've been using the ThermoWorks Smoke for a long time and I'm a huge fan.. maybe one of their biggest and most loyal but it may be that I have to place the "Smoke" on the back burner to make room for a new player called "Signals". It's a new 4-channel, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth thermometer made [...]
Hasty Bake: 131 Legacy Grill Review
Back in March of this year, Hasty Bake, a well known grill manufacturer here in the Tulsa area, invited me over for a plant tour and I happily obliged ;-). After the tour was over, they sent me home with a Hasty Bake 131 Legacy and several bags of their branded lump charcoal. Oh, and let's not forget the [...]
