Reviewing of gadgets, devices and tools

By Doug Francis • September 25th, 2011

BBQ Radio is alive and doing well in the world of BBQ, and “radio” is becoming a good source for the latest BBQ information. Most shows are not going to be dialed up on your old AM/FM radio, they stream the shows, live via the internet. Very easy to pick up the show no matter [...]

We’ve been having a lot of sauces and rubs to review as of late which brings us to one of “Pig of the Month’s” latest offerings…Miss Scarlet’s Carolina Red BBQ Sauce.

Here is another product from Mr. Bar-B-Q.  The Hydro Grillblaster.  We received this unit and put it throught its paces.  Hit the jump to read more.

We just received our first shipment of Blues Hog’s newest sauce called “Smokey Mountain” some may already be familiar with the sauce line made by Bill Arnold. Bill has quite a reputation for creating unique and powerful sauces that are useful in both competition and the backyard. His new sauce called “Smokey Mountain” and clearly [...]

This is a very interesting product of Mr. Bar-B-Q.  What you see here is an 18-piece set which includes 1 spatula,1 set of tongs,1 knive,1 basting brush,1 fork,1 grill brush,4 skewers, 8 corn on cob holders.

TastyLick’s new Secret Sauce is the latest creation from the Smokin Guitar Player, Fred Bernardo of Fred’s Music and BBQ.  We talked in depth with Fred about how this sauce came about and what he seemed to be most proud of is that the sauce consists a combination of some of his rubs that he [...]

Ok gang, here is our take on Draper’s bbq sauce and all purpose rub.  For our test, we used some chicken thighs.  Draper’s all-purpose rub was applied to the chicken with a little EVOO.

The other day I was reading a nice blog from my friend Wilfred “Fred” Reinke, also know as Oshawa Ogre. In his blog he was talking about the relations and friends that BBQ has created for him. That made me stop and think for a minute, how many friends, relationships, and dare I say families, [...]

Off the heals of our last podcast (Episode #25), a fellow blogger, John Dawson, of Patiodaddiobbq.com contacted me to share his experience with the infrared turkey fryer since at the time of recording, none of us on the panel had experience with it.

We received Todds dirt orginal, crabby and bayou seasonings a while back but at the time we were pushing other reviews out the door to make way.

Up until several months ago Kebroak was a leader in charcoal for restaurants in Miami and the rest of Florida for 8 years.  They now service consumers as well.

Today we take a look at Evan’s grilling spice.  At first glance, we really liked the packaging as the lid of the can is see through.

Starting the fire is a book about everything you need to know about starting a competition bbq team except the recipes.

On the package of these wine infused oak wood cubes, it says, for gas grills but we didn’t let that bother us.

We know, it’s been a while since our last blog post.  However we’ve been hard at work on the “In the Hut” podcast.  Today we’d like to bring to you our review on Kosmo’s Pork injection.

Today we take a look at Tasty Licks BBQ Company’s Ribit Rib Rub

As you  the reader know that we’re a fan of brines.  A brine is normally what you make of it in that there are not many brines for sale on the market.  We recently got a chance to review Kosmo’s chicken soak.

Today we’d like to share with you our boneless chicken breast recipe.  Sit back and enjoy!!

Afire natural coconut charcoal comes in 7 & 18 lbs boxes. Our box a 7 lb was purchased at Fred’s music & BBQ for 14.99.

We’ve seen several ads over the internet regarding the TastyLicks BBQ company’s seasonings. In this post we show our recipe for a whole-smoked chicken using this seasoning.

We picked up the 3 EYZ original bbq spice rub from the 3 eyz guys at the Galvinell Grillin and Chillin bbq contest. The 3 eyz guys told us it works great on ribs so that’s what we used for this test.

Today we’d like to present you with our review of the 2 of the smaller BDS models that Big Drum Smokers have to offer. The Midi 1834 holds 6-7lbs. of charcoal and the Mini, the smallest BDS, holds 4-5lbs. Both of these smokers had the same ease of use as the larger units. To increase [...]

Kingsford recently began releasing their new Competition Charcoal to the masses so today we’ll be doing a review on it. We’ll be comparing how this performs in reference to the original charcoal.

1. Wicked Good is a little harder to light than others in this group some really large pieces once lit burns for ever. 2. Ozark Oak easiest to light of this group sweet smell right from start burns hot & long. 3. Humphreys a lot like ozark oak easy to light burns hot & long [...]

Today we pit Picky Vicki’s What’s Shakin Rib Rub against Bad Byron’s Butt rub. We have a different style of testing. Please hit the jump to read more
