    Hello All, This year we decided to shake it up a bit and deviate from the traditional lamb for Christmas Dinner. I invested in a ten pound bone in prime rib. I plan to reverse sear it using my 26 OTG for the indirect portion and then spin it up on the performer screaming hot for the sear. I...

    Hello All, Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. Life has been crazy busy and while I have been grilling, I haven't had time or energy to post. Since my last post, both my OTG and my OTS have bit the bullet. The OTG was damaged in my trailer coming home from a camping trip (thanks...
