It costs money to buy grills, accessories, charcoal, camera gear, web hosting, and food to produce these pages (there are now more than 300 articles on this site)! So I've stolen an idea from PBS and NPR: I'm inviting you to support my work by donating any amount you wish. Just click the button and make a donation via Paypal or with your credit card on Paypal.
$15-24 donation. If you donate $15-24, I'll send you a fully embroidered iron-on patch that is 3.25" x 2.75". You can put it on any fabric by either ironing it on or by sewing it on. Put it on your apron, shirt, ht, jacket, underwear.
$25 or more. If you donate $25 or more, I'll send you a cool 100% cotton brushed twill, adjustable low profile, embroidered cap with my Zen of BBQ logo embroidered on it and a sample of BBQr's Delight smoke pellets.
That's Dario Cecchini of Panzano-in-Chianti in Tuscany, above, the world's most famous butcher, wearing his AmazingRibs.com cap. You may have seen him featured in Bon Appetit or on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations show on the Travel Channel.
Donate $25 or more and I'll toss in a sample of BBQr's Delight wood smoke pellets, the type used by most of the top competition barbecue chefs. They are made of compressed sawdust. That's all. No glue.

GrillGrates Take Your Grill Into the Infrared Zone
GrillGrates are the best new product I have tested in years and the best thing to happen to beef since salt and pepper.
They sit on top of your current grill's grates. The hard anodized aircraft grade aluminum rail tops are flat and wide and make perfect dark crunchy grill marks. The base superheats yet eliminates hot spots and blocks flareups. This is the same concept behind the expensive new infrared grills.
Juices drip in the valleys between the rails and are vaporized and penetrate the meat enhancing flavor. I throw wood between the rails and they impart a delicate smoke flavor. I have made my best steaks and burgers ever with Grill Grates. This is a really great new product! Click here to read more and for ordering info.
