Blind Grilling Experience

Crawfish Boils and Making Espresso Accessible

We have been feasting on crawfish at the local grill store between fishing trips.  Chris still refuses to suck the heads but enjoys the meat from those tails.  The world of coffee and espresso has me intrigued but not everything is very accessible.  The scale company Acaia has made  their Pearl S with a talking feature and made a conscious effort to make their Brew app accessible with screen readers.  The Lucca A53mini has tactile buttons for easy use but out of most folks price range.  And then there are grinders which seem to be moving to the touch screen interface with few exceptions.  Finally, we have put the sous vide machine to work since the storms have kept us inside.

ThermoWorks RFX accessible meat probe and iPhone vs charcoal grill

ThermoWorks has released a new wireless meat probe and Chris talks about the pros and cons of the RFX vs the Meater 2plus.  The ThermoWorks uses radio frequency and wifi to bring a better connection with greater reliability.  However, there are a few tricks in the Meater 2plus bluetooth that keeps it in the running for a great option.  Several subscribers have reached out and one even shared a story about dropping his iPhone into a burning hot grill.  

Brisket for the win and cast iron recommendations

Cooking a 22lbs brisket in eight hours helped ease the pain of the Chief’s loss and poor performance in the Super Bowl.  The Meta Ray Ban glasses still holding up and recording some great point of view videos which we have posted to IG, FB and YT.  Finally, Chris answers a question about cast iron and if enamel coated cast iron is worth getting over quality cast iron.  

Cooking ground burger for the blind and end grain cutting boards

Today’s episode describes the difference between edge grain and end grain cutting boards.  Chris explains why end grain boards are so desirable and more expensive.  Then he moves on to how to cook ground burger when you can’t see when it is done.  Chris provides a few things to pay attention to such as texture and sound while using a wooden spoon to stir the burger. 

New Season And Meta Ray Ban Glasses

Chris is back with a new season of the BGE podcast and updates on the past year away from from social media.  The Meta Ray Ban glasses are a real blessing and looking forward to sharing more videos and pictures on the new BGECreations instagram page.  Chris has also been busy in the wood shop making cutting boards and charcuterie boards.

Cooking Eggs & Going Camping

 I’m headed into the backwoods of the Ozark mountains to camp with some friends.  Going to try a new French press coffee maker at the campsite and report back with some other adventures.  We remind folks about the usefulness of a fish basket for grilling and then talk about how to cook eggs without breaking the yoke.

New Season of BGE

 It’s a new season of BGE and we are so appreciative of all the emails and texts we have received.  We will answer a few of your questions about meat probes, starter sticks, grills and more.  Chris spoke at the MOKA Conference in Springfield, MO which was put on by the MLV foundation.  We have also traveled to Texas and Tennessee for some preaching appointments.  We were able to eat a smoked pecan pie from Pulaski County TN made by Papa B’s.  Email us info@blindgrilling.com

Duck Stole The Show From Turkey

 
 We are recovering from our food coma after an amazing week of Thanksgiving treats.  While Turkey was the star for most folks, we had some duck breast that stole the show.  
Update on my diet and the great results from eating the right kind of fats and looking forward to talking about prime rib for Xmas.

Happy Thanksgiving & A New Meat Probe

 
Hope y’all have taken your turkey out of the freezer to thaw.  Are you smoking a ham. Try equal parts of apple juice, orange juice, pineapple juice and honey as a sprits while on the smoker.  Smokey sweet goodness awaits your tastebuds. 
We are also going to try the new Meater 2 Plus waterproof meat probe and let you know if it is worth the upgrade. 
Happy Thanksgiving.

Preparing for Thanksgiving

Preparing for Thanksgiving is key for success.  Whether you are ordering a fresh turkey or a frozen one, you don’t just throw it in the oven or smoker without some prep and serious consideration of flavors.  To brine or not to brine, that is the question.  What about injections?  What are some things we need to have on hand to ensure the best results?

Too Cold To Grill and Accessible 3D Printers

 
Winter arrived and I am not as keen on smoking in the cold any more.  Technology is great when it works and a nightmare when it doesn’t.  Software updates can render devices useless and power outage causes us to cook old school so it is good to keep those skills sharp.  Finally, I’ve jumped into the hobby of 3D printers and may have found an accessible option.  I will keep you updated on my adventures with the Bambu Lab X1C printer.
