I was reading some discussion last night about whether or not a Big Green Egg (BGE) or other kamado style cookers are worth it. A part of this discourse included pros/cons, personal preferences, and references to classic BBQ setups such as offset smoker boxes and wood...
Back at it again on a beautiful Thursday evening from San Antonio, TX. I've got some music and beer, both of which I'm trying for the first time, as well as my laptop and speaker setup on the back patio. It's been a long week coming off a fun weekend at the Frio and...

Part of the reason that cooking is going to be a big part of this blog is that I do a lot of it. I do as much of it as I can in or on cast iron. Cast iron spreads heat well, is durable, and is a very versatile cooking tool since it can handle literally any surface. I...
