Cool article. I like the technique on checking the meat temps. That's really easy to remember.

I do need to learn to make my own marinades...would save money and probably taste better.

Great post,,,didn't know you could chill beverages that quick but it does make sense since I make alot of home made ice cream,,,rock salt in a container of ice and spin,,,genius.

good tips for beginners, I suppose. I find that using Dawn dish soap makes quick work of any crud on my grill. Not sure I want to make the house incredibly hot by running the self-cleaning oven. A nice digital thermometer with a remote is a necessity since it will tell you how fast the meat is cooking, which I find to be important when I need to decide if I have time for another smoke.

It left off the important topic of dry rubs, which I think is way more important than bbq sauce for grilling. I don't make my own rubs since a local grocery makes several that are very tasty.

Didn't even read the article but if it left of rubs it is leaving out one of the most critical things for grilling. I do all my own rubs, mostly because I love it. If you want a great twist on beer can chicken look up the recipe for emerils Essence and use a tablespoon in the bird, a tablespoon in the can and a tablespoon rubbed on the bird itself.........mmmmm mmmmmm tasty.

Ok sorry for the threadjack

Today its salt and pepper ribs on the Napolean (maybe a little hickory or apple smoke)

I grill at least once a week. It's a great way for me to unwind and enjoy some nice cigars!
