Traeger Ironwood 650 review: WiFi is the ultimate pitmaster

I'll admit it: I was skeptical that a WiFi-connected grill could really improve my casual culinary exploits. During my review of Traeger's Timberline 850 though, I would discover it's actually very useful -- especially for things that take several ho...

Traeger Timberline 850 review: BBQ goes high tech

Good barbecue is a slow process. And I'm not talking about grilling. I'm talking about real BBQ -- the "low and slow" smoking of beef, chicken, pork and a whole host of other foods. Walk into any reputable barbecue restaurant and the pitmaster will t...

For Hungry Hikers

xplor_01

A good barbecue can complete a camping trip but few have the capacity to feed more than one small person and others are too large to lug through a hike. With a rucksack attachment, Xplor BBQ allows you to have the convenience of a large charcoal BBQ without the inconvenience of needing a vehicle to transport it. Simply strap it on for full-size barbecuing everywhere from the campsite to the park.

The design also features thermochromic ink on the vent, indicating to the user when the BBQ is a safe temperature to handle and carry. When blue it is cool and safe and when red it is warm and unsafe. The legs with silicone rubber attachments provide enough ground clearance to prevent grass below from burning. They also twist to become slots for the backpack attachment to connect.

E.T. Gets Roasted on a Spit: Barbecute

It looks like E.T. will not be phoning home ever again. In fact, he won’t be doing much of anything since these folks decided to barbecue him. I’m guessing he tasted like chicken. Space chicken.

What kind of savages would do this? Apparently, eating E.T. is a recurring project by Terje Östling and Unsworn Industries, a design firm in Malmö, Sweden. They made an E.T. sculpture out of vegan-friendly foods and roasted it at the Exploring the Animal Turn symposium in Lund, Sweden in 2014. Later on they made another E.T. and roasted him at the Foodcycle festival in Helsinki, Finland. They just can’t stop roasting E.T.

The idea is to explore how being human impacts ethical food choices and they use E.T. to get their point across, since he is generally considered to be so cute:

What would it feel like to eat an alien? How can we dearly love and grieve some non-human species while accepting the industrialised slaughter of others? How can we cater to the needs of eaters who seek a surrogate for the sacrificial and ritual aspects of convivial, meat-based, barbecues? What are our ethical responsibilities towards fictional organisms?

For Late Night BBQs: Flashlight Grilling Spatula

Flashlight Grilling Spatula

 

I’m sure you’ve felt it once or twice in your life. When it’s dark out and the night is young, that craving, that yearning for meat…cooking on the grill, with the smell of spices and barbecue sauce filling the air. Having a late-night barbecue isn’t the most practical thing in the world, but a utensil that might just help you make it happen is the Grillight.

It’s a stainless steel grilling spatula with a built-in LED light so you can see what you’re cooking, even in the dark. Use it in the morning, use it in the afternoon, use it when the sun’s about to set and when you need extra illumination. The Grillight is dishwasher safe and runs on two AA batteries.

It’s available online for $34.95.

An Entirely New BBQ

Why is it called the “Social Barbecue?” Because it was designed to bring people together, creating an entirely new barbecuing experience through innovation! The first table-safe charcoal grill of its kind, now users can gather round the picnic table and take part in the process together rather than designate a single chef who’s isolated to the side. Similar to a fondue-style dining, it fosters a convivial atmosphere of sharing and entertainment!
