Episodes
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 ...
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...
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.
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.
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.

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...

Thanks for a wonderful year and season of Blind Grilling Experience.

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.

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.
Chris walks through his recommendations for preparing your turkey this Thanksgiving. From thawing it out, how to inject and how to avoid an over salted brined turkey. Timing and tips for crispy skin. Did he say mayo? Yes, and you won’t regret using mayo on your turkey prep if you follow some is pre instructions.
Happy 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?
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 adventure...
We finally removed the broken canopy over the grilling facilities to make room for some new construction. Winter is coming and we are expecting our first hard freeze so had to unhook the water lines and hot water heater from the outside sink. If we have to work on the deck we might as well through a pork shoulder on the smoker for some pulled pork. Hard to get away from the spicy apple seasoning and...
So good to be back home after traveling to visit our girls in Alabama. Both my girls are amazing cooks and made us some great food but a few of the restaurants left some things to be desired. After returning home we have fired up the grill and smoked some cheese, reverse seared steaks and put together an easy pork roast that is full of flavor.
Finally, I preached a serm...
Chris begins by talking about smoked cream cheese and then gets to all the hype around grass fed beef. While it is leaner, Chris is not convinced it is better. Let us know what you think.

Krispy Kreme Donuts are popular for several reasons but when you through them on the grill, they are truly over the top GOOD. You have to at least try them before you knock them. Also, we grilled some Chuck Eye steaks with mixed results. Chris loved the first bite, texture and flavor but there was way too much fat that did not render down. However, for the price, it is worth trying again. Finall...
We love desserts on the grill and confident you will as well. Try your favorite apple pie, peach or blackberry cobbler, cakes or other baked goods on the grill. We also love grilling fruits like pineapple, peaches, apples and bananas. Don’t knock it ’til you try it. Finally there is the campfire classic S’more with a twist for the grill. In the middle of all that we take a side trip on getting mor...
