It's finally here! Grilled meat season is upon us ladies and gentlemen. Manning (or womanning) the grill takes a few things: meat (some encased), cold beer, fire, an appetite and tools. Bare minimum, you'll find [...]

Wood-fire grills impart a flavor to our steaks and burgers that is about as irresistible as a "Win a Date with Kate Upton" contest. The problem is, by the time the grill heats up, we've built up [...]

How many times has this happened to you? You're out back enjoying a few beers with your friends when you get the urge to fire up the grill for a couple of burgers. You leave the [...]

When it comes to grilling, we try to be purists. We're guilty of the occasional gas cook out of sheer convenience, but we always feel bad about it when we take the first bite out [...]

When we smoke meat, we want it to taste like we just walked into a Parisian jazz bar back in the day—extra, extra smokey. The problem is, due to limited space and our sometimes limited [...]

Sometimes a product's name really says it all. We're happy to find these because, frankly, it means we don't have to do any work. Take for example Stove In A Can. What is it? Well, you see, it's a stove in [...]

We can't think of any successful camping trip that didn't include s'mores, copious amounts of grilled meat and Jiffy Pop. All you need to make any of those things delicious is a fire, but a [...]

For a devoted tailgater, spending the day in a parking lot outside the stadium is a given. Kickoff is 8 at night? You'll be there before noon. Put it this way, an experienced tailgater will be there long [...]

We recently got all philosophical about our favorite tailgate beers (hey, that will happen after some PBR 24-ouncers). Well the fact is, the beer is only part of the tailgate equation for success. The obvious other [...]

We've never had an experience where we were manning the grill and some sniper tried to pick us off and snatch our porterhouse or a grenade was lobbed at our feet and a gang of [...]

Whether it be 4th of July or just a random BBQ, in the summer - in the words of the prophet Andrew W.K. - when it's time to party we will party hard.  Summertime bashes have [...]

Barbecues aren't just an outdoor activity or a quality meal, they're a bona fide pastime. Nothing satisfies quite like a piece of grilled meat and cold one. Alpina has taken portable, outdoor, day drinking - [...]

As men, there are a few things that tend to be, exclusively, our realm: tire changing, lawn maintenance and grill management. Properly grilling steaks, burgers, other slabs of meat, encased meats, vegetables and anything else [...]

We're not sure how it started, but grilling meat sort of became a de facto gauge of a man's substance. If you torch your food into what looks like well-done meteorites, well, that doesn't do any favors [...]

Summertime grilling is fantastic. But let's be honest, dealing with the minutia of pulling together a grill session isn't. You need to tote out your BBQ, get the charcoal, the lighter fluid if you're inept [...]
