The Grill
Grillers week
Nothing really slows down a true griller. On average, we go through a tank of gas about every month to 5 weeks give-or-take a week. Here’s this past weeks run-down.
Saturday - June 1st - Flat Iron steak thinly sliced for wraps. Our evening was spent on the deck bar around the grill drinking spritzers, beer [...]
Hot-Cold-Hot-Cold
Welcome to the Colorado Front-Range. Spring is the MOST interesting time in Colorado. I lived in Texas for 35 years in various locations in the state and I swore Texas had the weirdest weather.

We start out with [...]
Coverup…
There’s nothing worse than a filthy dirty looking grill. Dirt, rain, water and snow can take years off your grill. So, I say, cover it up. When we purchased our grill a few years back, we purchased the associated plastic with felt cover. It’s taken it’s toll and we now need to replace it.

Crap, it’s cold outside…
Friday, end of the week, PERFECT evening to fire up the grill and cook something. Or, is it? Well, it snowed last night in Longmont and most of Colorado. Well, more like it tried to snow, spritz, rain and throw some ice pelts down on everyone, but moisture is moisture.
Still, it is a bit too [...]

Well, I can tell you one of the BEST options is, grilling corn on the cob. That’s right, [...]
Monday outdoor grilling, Denver Style!
Grilling any day of the week is perfectly acceptable. A lot of people tend to think that firing up the grill out on their back deck requires a “reason” or should be reserved for a special occasion or party. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Your mindset should be, the grill is just another cooking [...]
