Columbia Gold, A South Carolina Mustard Barbecue Sauce
In a swath of Mid-South Carolina, from around Columbia to the coast around Charleston, barbecue sauce is yellow, not red, a byproduct of the region's German heritage. Here’s a quick and easy classic South Carolina mustard sauce. Tangy. One of my favorites. Also great on pulled pork.

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.
