Been gone for a while due to technical issues. Back online as of 12/26/2006. Have added a couple of recipes but many more to come as well as pictures.

Check out the pages above for good info on many subjects and on preparing and cooking some of my favorite foods outdoors. Most recipes can be cooked in your household oven or in any outdoor grill. I love grilling and the taste natural lump charcoal  adds to my cooks and always makes them a huge hit.  My grill of choice is the Primo Oval Grill and Smoker. In fact, I use 2 of the large Ovals. Visit their webpage. If we can assist you or answer any questions, please email
