Great Lakes Grilling Co. Set of 2 Reusable Cedar Grilling Planks

Have you ever had a problem with your fish sticking to the grill, I know I have, and it’s sad when it happens. These cider planks are made for the grill, and your fish won’t stick to them. The other benefits when using these great cider planks, they give an excellent cider-smoked taste, it’s like getting smoked fish from a great restaurant.

These planks are a great gift for any of your family or friends if they like to cook fish, or like smoky flavored chicken or steaks. You just soak the cider-planks in water for at least 2 hours, so they won’t scorch or split on the grill. There are instructions included on how to care and reuse your planks. They are useful and inexpensive and that’s a great combo!

BBQ Chicken Recipe

This bbq chicken recipe is one of my favorites for summer bbq, it’s a little sweet, spicy, and tangy, I think it is the perfect combo. One of the tricks for good bbq chicken would be to just add a dry rub before cooking, and not adding the bbq sauce until the last few minutes of cook time. The big mistake a lot of people make is adding bbq sauce before grilling, and they end up with a charred mess from the sugars caramelizing and burning, so let’s not make this mistake! Well I won’t keep you waiting here is the recipe! Hope you enjoy it.

BBQ Guys 3 piece BBQ tool set

Outdoor BBQ season is coming up fast, and some of the first things we all will need is a few new tools for the grill, the very basic tools, the tongs, forks, and turners. These stainless steel bbq tools are perfect for what we need to do on the grill, and because there stainless you don’t have to worry about them rusting like your old set, I’ve had that happen to me too many times, my favorite part of this set is the tongs with the nice teeth at the bottom so your food don’t slip and fall to the ground, and having your dog eat it up on you!

I’d have to say my second favorite part of this set would have to be the turner/flipper it’s shaped very nicely to get under burgers, onions, and anything else on the grill that you would flip. My least favorite part of the set would be the fork, and not because the fork is a bad design, but because I don’t like to poke my steaks or chicken, it lets all the flavorful juices run out, but it’s still a very useful tool to have for other things, like picking up vegetables, potatoes, and fruits. All in all a very well rounded kit from the BBQ Guys.
