BBQ Tips and Tricks
Alveron Cookers makes a great grill and John Haney – an expert in the biz – shows a few of the special features that make these grill rock.
Josh says the grill box he shows off here is a great feature and we have to agree… it’s a great way to get a lot of smoke for a big whole hog. Get hold of John on his Facebook page.
First BBQ Cookoff, Fish Sauce and Beer Butt Chicken
From http://MeatheadsTV.com Episode 004 with Jack Waiboer and Bill West discussing barbecue questions about how to prepare for a first barbecue competition and fishy secret ingredient and a Beer Can Chicken gadget.
We’ve teamed up with the best cooker we know… three time SC State Champion Jack Waiboer to get together an BS about barbecue, beer, meat and cookin’ once a week. Jack’s also the founder of Carolina Pitmaster’s Cooking School. Hopefully it’s fun for BBQ fans and you can learn a bit from the beer we share together.
We’ll take questions, share a “Secret Ingredient,” a cool BBQ Gadget, and see what competitions are cookin’.
Episodes will post Wednesdays and we’re always up for show suggestions and questions. But hey – it’s our first time… be gentle! Post them here as comments and make sure you FAN us on Facebook and subscribe via iTunes.

BBQ Tricks just received a nice birthday gift… a batch of steaks from Allen Bros. And like any true MEATHEADs we decided to show it off a bit.
Allen Brother's Best
Allen Brothers is a Chicago based meat company, similar to Omaha Steaks, that sells premium steaks to upscale steak houses and also has a thriving catalog to consumer (or Internet to the consumer) business.
I received the “Petite Breakfast Sampler” as a gift. These steaks are a smaller breakfast portion but are still a nice size.
Here’s how Allen Bros. suggests you handle the product:
From Allenbrothers.com:
Upon receiving your shipment of Allen Brothers meats, place them in your freezer immediately. Your shipment contained a block of dry ice to keep the product frozen during transit.
Dry ice is a frozen gas which dissipates over time. If there is dry ice remaining in the container, avoid contact with your bare skin. Use gloves or oven mitts to dispose of the ice, or leave the ice in the container, where it will dissipate naturally.
If there is no dry ice remaining in the container when you open your shipment, there is no need for concern. What is important is that the items are still frozen, or are cold to the touch.
We encourage you to recycle the sturdy polystyrene container your shipment arrived in.
Witness the unveiling… and yes they cooked up nicely (and tasted great) too.
