The Small Rib Checks That Separate an Okay Cook from a Great One
Malcom Reed’s baby back rib method focuses on repeatable checkpoints: an even rack, a clean trim, developed bark, a well-timed wrap, tenderness, and a final glaze.
How Grillin With Dad Turned a Car Show Into a Full-Service Pit Stop
Grillin With Dad spent the day at Route 66 Raceway cooking for the Hamilton Collection’s Enthusiast Showcase, and the interesting part is not just that he brought food to a car show. It is how deliberately the cook was organized around the job. Multiple grills, different heat.

Al Frugoni does not treat the Tagwood BBQ 26 SS like a novelty grill. He treats it like a system. In his overview, every part has a job: the firebox makes embers, the cross handles asador-style cooking, the Santa Maria setup moves up and down, and the suspended grate lets the.
