When I want to serve brisket, but don’t have time, I smoke beef ribs. These ribs have delicious flavor and an impressive presentation smoked for only 8 hours instead of 20.

With barbecue it’s about time, temperature and smoke. When it’s cold outside, it’s nice to work with a smoker you don’t have to watch like a hawk to keep the temperature under control.

I love making a dish big enough to share. This jumbo steak hoagie served on a pretzel bun is the perfect dish for the entire party.

A multi-zone fire is where grilling magic happens. Set up your grill with multiple temperature zones: searing-hot to quickly brown meats and a moderate one to cook food all the way through.

This pizza combines the best of what I love about buffalo chicken wings with a creamy sauce and spicy chicken on top a thin-crust pizza.

The pizzas I like best come out of a hot oven, like 800°F hot! High heat makes thin crust pop up in seconds forming air pockets that are key for texture and chew.
