Please send me your questions, recipes, feedback, criticisms, pictures, and ideas.
I'm especially keen to know if you've tried a recipe and couldn't figure out my instructions or if you have improvements to suggest.
I'll probably be on my deck with my grills, my dogs, and an adult beverage, but when I've finished cooking and eating, I'll get back to you. I get a lot of email, so if you have meat on the grill, don't count on an answer before dinner time. But so far I've been able to respond to all inquiries, usually within a few days. Dunno how much longer I can keep it up...
Do me a favor, though. Use the search box in the upper right first. Good chance your question is answered somewhere in the 300 plus pages on this site.
One more thing. The vast majority of the questions I get can be answered with this: Don't believe your grill's thermometer. I have seen them off by 50F. Even the really cool looking ones. And chances are they are measuring the dome temp, not the temp at the grate near the meat. There can be a 20F diff. Also, for most meats you really really should use a good digital meat thermometer to prevent over or undercooking. Read my buying guide to thermometers and my meat temperature guide.

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.

If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the amazing Smokenator and Hovergrill. The Smokenator turns your grill into a first class smoker, and the Hovergrill can add capacity or be used to get steakhouse steaks. Click here to read more and for ordering info.
