GrillGrates Take You To
The Infrared Zone

Gold AwardGrillGrates amplify heat, prevent flareups, make turning foods easier, produce great grill marks, keep small foods from committing suicide, kill hotspots, are easier to clean, flip over to make a fine griddle, smolder wood right below the meat, and can be easily removed and moved from one grill to another. Click here to read more about what makes these grates so special and how they compare to other cooking surfaces.

Watch For Meathead's Book In Spring 2015

"Print is dead." Dr. Egon Spengler, Ghostbusters, 1984

By Meathead Goldwyn

I am pleased to announce that I have agreed with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to produce the book "The Science of BBQ & Grilling, How To Use The Latest Mythbusting Research To Become An Outdoor Hero, With 200 Traditional All-American Recipes Modernized".

Based on the content on this site, with new articles and recipes, I am honored to have the estimable Rux Martin as my editor. HMH and Martin also publish Jacques Pepin, Dorie Greenspan, Jack Bishop, Karen Tack, and the Gourmet magazine books.

Special thanks to my amazing literary agent Sally Ekus, of the Lisa Ekus Group who helped persuade HMH that a book that shares some of its content with a website can still sell.

Subscribe to my email newsletter "Smoke Signals" and I will let you know as soon it is available.
