I am sure everyone has figured out by now that I love my Big Green Egg.  As all eggheads know, accessories are a part of being a Big Green Egg owner.  By far, my favorite accessory is my Kick Ash Basket.  The Kick Ash Basket allows me to be more efficient and get to rollin’ smoke as quick as possible.   If I am going to re-use my charcoal in my egg, I simply grab the handles and shake the Kick Ash Basket.  All of the burnt ash ends up in the bottom of the egg.  This allows the egg...

We know you are probably like us and have a drawer full of tools and gadgets for your grill or smoker. But today, we're talking kitchen tools - the handy little gadgets that we take for granted when we cook, but wouldn't know how to live without.

My sister-in-law got me these a few years ago, and they completely...

  I will admit it. We are relatively new to the cast iron fan club. As working parents who attempt to cook their kids a meal a few times a week, we have been devoted to our Calphalon non-stick cookware since we got our first set for wedding gifts.

Tony recently cooked a Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese in our Lodge dutch oven, and it was soooo good. Considering making the switch… or at least adding a few...

I experienced my first Eggtoberfest a couple of weeks ago.  This is an annual event in Atlanta and is always a sold out affair.  Folks travel from all over the US and even internationally to participate.  My buddy Josh went with me and is the proud owner of two Primo smokers among several other outdoor cooking contraptions.   Once we arrived, we got our Eggtoberfest swag bags.  We immediately discovered the great value of our $45 dollar tickets.  In the bag was an event t-shirt, metal Big Green Egg cup, a Big Green Egg branded chef’s journal, five drink coupons...

I borrowed this recipe and cooking directions from Tyler Crews who posts on the Big Green Egg BBQers Facebook Page.  My inspiration was also from my Eggtoberfest experience.  I cooked this for the Georgia vs South Carolina game and it was a big hit with everyone.  For my first attempt, I grilled the chicken and chunked it.  I also used pecan wood for the smoke and Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce.  I did not use the extra hot sauce because we were feeding a group of people.  I really enjoyed using the cast iron skillet and have plans for smoked...
