Grillery Fireplacer Review

By:

Max Good, AmazingRibs.com’s Full-Time Grill Tester

Turns your existing wood fireplace into a grill. An up and down shaft bolts to your fireplace wall then raises and lowers the grate with a crank wheel.

In France they use a variety of bean called haricots vert that is longer and thinner than the typical string bean grown in the US, but you can use plain fresh green beans.

This Spiedies Recipe Will Have You Kicking Kebabs To The Curb

By:

Meathead, AmazingRibs.com Founder And BBQ Hall of Famer

In Binghamton NY they make spiedies rather than kebabs, and for good reason. They're better. Typically they are marinated and grilled hunks of lamb or beef. These spiedies are not cooked on skewers, but grilled with onions and peppers. Served rare to medium, the marinade flavor is almost as strong as the meat flavor.
