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 [...]

Magnets man, how do they work? Unfortunately for you, you're going to have to leave that one to ICP because there's magic everywhere in this bitch. But what we can tell you is that magnets [...]

Sometimes grilling can be a bit more of a headache than one would like. Getting the charcoal going, minding the coals, not dusting your burgers with ash when you give the fire a stir, etc. [...]

Going out to restaurants to eat good food is so last year. When you can have sliders and smoked salmon without ever leaving the 5ft around your grill why shouldn't you be able to make [...]

Several years ago one of our editors, on an alpine camping trip, decided to make a fire and grill some food.  We won't go into details, but some lessons learned that day were 1) don't [...]

Sliders are a fantastic invention. Their bitty size means you can have like 50 of them and not feel like a bloated fat-ass. Grilling burgers the size of a poker chip involves a shit load [...]

There's little else that takes the wind out of the sails of your tailgate BBQ than realizing nobody brought a cooler to keep the beer cold. We suppose it would be worse if a freak asteroid [...]
