This design offers better control and versatility for all-around cutting tasks.

Easy steak recipe

Easy steak recipe

Start with a good quality cut of meat.

My family and I really enjoy a good NY Strip, but a nice big Porterhouse isn't a bad cut of steak either.
- Small pad of butter (1 for each steak your cooking)
- Sea Salt

Preheat grill to high for about 15 minutes.
Remove steaks from butcher paper and let stand until they reach room tempurature.
Sprinkle each side lightly with sea salt.
Place on preheated grill and cook for 2 1/2 minutes, rotate steaks 90 degress on the grate and cook for another 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. After you rotate 90 degrees on the second side add the small pad of butter on top of each steak and cook for remaining 2 1/2 minutes.

Remove from grill and let stand at room temp. for 4 minutes.

Beer Can Chicken using our Double Barrel Chicken Cooker

Beer Can Chicken using our Double Barrel Chicken Cooker
The beer adds wonderful flavor and moistness to the grilled meat, but if you don't like beer use something else.
• 12 oz. can beer (your choice on brand)
• 4 lb. whole chicken
• 2 Tbsp. Rufus Teague Meat Rub
• 1 Double Barrel Chicken Cooker
PREPARATION:

Remove giblets from inside chicken, rinse well inside and out and pat dry. Sprinkle outside of chicken with 1 Tbsp. of the Rufus Teague Meat Rub. Sprinkle 1-1/2 tsp. of the rub inside the chicken. Pour ½ the beer of choice into well. Sprinkle remaining 1-1/2 tsp. of the Rufus Teague Meat Rub into the beer.


Hold the chicken upright, with the opening of the body cavity at the bottom, and lower it onto the raised well so the well fits into the cavity opening. Pull the chicken legs forward so it stands upright. Tuck the tips of the wings behind the chicken’s back.


When ready to cook, place the chicken cooker in the center of the hot grill. Cover the grill and cook until the chicken skin is crisp and dark brown. The meat will be cooked through (180°F on an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh, not touching the bone) in about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. If the chicken starts to brown too much, loosely cover with aluminum foil.


Using baker’s mitts /gloves carefully transfer the (hot) chicken cooker to a level non-burnable surface. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then carefully lift it off the well, being very careful not to spill the hot beer or burn yourself. Carve the chicken and serve. Serves 4-6

Getting the Grill Clean and Ready...

Getting the Grill Clean and Ready…
For some of us grilling is a year-round event. But others may not be willing to brave the cold just to have a perfectly grilled steak when its 10 degrees outside. If you are one of the warmer weather outdoor cooks you may just be getting your grill out from the back corner of the garage. Don't just start it up, clean it and give it a little TLC.
We have a few tips that will help you to get your grill back in shape for the outdoor cooking season.

Beginning of the Season
(If your not a year-round griller) Take the grill out of your garage or basement. If you are using a gas grill, make sure there are no spiders or cobwebs under the burner knobs or in the grill manifolds (dislodge any you may find with a slender bamboo skewer). If any of the tiny pinholes on the burner tubes are clogged, unclog them with a pin. Make sure the burner valves turn freely: If any feel stuck, spray in a little WD-40. Check that all connections are tight and that there are no holes or worn spots in any of the hoses. And most important: Follow all of the manufacturer's maintenance instructions.

The Grate
The grate is the part of the grill that comes in direct contact with the food, so it should be clean. Fortunately, this is as simple as bringing it up to grilling temperature when you preheat the grill and then scrubbing it with a dry stiff wire brush before adding the food. The heat loosens any burnt-on scraps and sterilizes the grate, while the brush removes the debris. There's no need to scrub the metal with any abrasives or soap. On the contrary: You season a grate, by using it and brushing it clean (washing is unnecessary). Clean your grill grate twice: once before putting the food on and again after grilling. The latter is especially important when you grill fish. Run the grill until any cooked-on bits of food or oils are burnt off, and then clean the grate with your wire brush. With a gas grill simply let it continue burning for 15 to 30 minutes. With a charcoal grill, you may need to rake the partially depleted coals into a pile to concentrate the heat. (Never extinguish used coals with water. Simply cover the grill and close all the vents and let the coals burn out.) Should the coals burn out before the grill grate is clean, hose it down with water and scrub off any burnt-on pieces with a wire brush. Dry it with paper towels to prevent rusting.
The Firebox: In general, the firebox (the metal bowl of a kettle grill or rectangular box of a gas grill) will clean itself in the process of grilling. Of course, any bits of food that have fallen through the bars of the gate or pools of congealed fat should be shoveled out with a garden trowel.

One thing you should clean often is the catch pan, or drip pan, for grease. In terms of more long-term maintenance, barbecue shops sell heavy-duty grill cleaners you can use for removing a season’s worth of soot.
