    I’m getting too old for this kind of stuff.

    There's a big chinese elm - probably at least 50' - in the back yard and extremely close to the house, and not practical for a DIY removal so I'll be getting an estimate for removal. I expect it to be a painful number, but last weekend it dropped a big dead limb on the roof and while there was...

    Pastured/grass fed pork question

    The fat on the chops I grilled Wednesday had what I'd consider a pretty typical pork flavor, so maybe there were some other reasons for the fat from the first chops tasting the way it did.

    Would you try this?

    Years ago I worked with a guy who raised beef on the side, and one year he processed a cow that he put down due to old age. He saved the high-end cuts but the others, including the tongue and heart, went into the grinder (IIRC no other organ meats, though) and produced some really good ground...

    Pastured/grass fed pork question

    Does pork fat from a pastured animal have a different taste than if it came from a commodity animal? We were given some pork chops recently and after grilling them I thought the fat had a stronger, maybe slightly gamey flavor. The meat smelled fine raw and after cooking, so I don't suspect any...

    100 inches of snow. This weekend.

    I wonder how many people thought that all this snow would be great for skiing, and then got stuck on their way to the slopes.

    Char-Logs for fire control

    Thought I'd pass along one of my kettle hacks... I like to use B&B Char-Logs to help establish my charcoal burn zone. If I'm grilling direct and using almost all of the grate, I'll make a ring of Logs around the perimeter. I don't need fire all the way to the edge and it keeps hot coals off...

    For you Kingsford Coal burners

    You just haven't had it cooked the right way, that's all.;) I've been using K-Pro for tailgating the past couple of seasons so I may give the HH a try this year.

    Stuffed pork chops

    Thanks, everybody! Wilmer, I wasn't thinking about that when I put the chops together, but you're right!

    Tales From the Road

    I spent last weekend out of town, and as I'm wont to do in that sort of situation I picked out a couple of local places to eat along the way. The first stop was at a Bar & Restaurant in an unincorporated community. When I parked I noticed a fair amount of vehicles in the lot, but that's not at...

    Does anyone, anywhere make solid, thick 304SS grates for the go anywhere?

    I've used an oversized CI grate on a GA before but obviously it rules out a tight lid fit, although the lid can still be set down on the grate. Would this approach work?
