Grilling Good Eats

by Mike Thayer

I already covered 'must have' essential tools in Chapter 2, but let's do a quick recap of the basics needed for cranking out a great meal from the grill before we get into accessories and gadgets.  

The charcoal chimney: For me, there’s really no better way to light charcoal.  They’re easy to use and there's no foul lighter fluid smell or residue. 

Grill gloves: Get a good glove for working with charcoal chimneys, re-positioning a grill grate, lifting a hot lid or even pulling some hot baked potatoes off the grill. 

Tongs: NO grill master is without a good pair of metal tongs. For added control and gripping power, be sure to buy a pair with some kind of scalloped edge in the tip end.

It all started simply enough: just a few friends and family gathering in the backyard, enjoying good company and good food. Somewhere along the line, this simple family tradition turned into a passion, culminating with the 2009 opening of a retail store, All Things Barbecue.

Located in America’s heartland, Wichita, Kansas, All Things Barbecue has a simple goal: to spread the passion for outdoor cooking to as many people as possible.

With knowledge gathered from generations of backyard cooks, we know that mouth-watering barbecue starts with professional grade tools. That’s exactly what you can find at All Things Barbecue, starting with Yoder Smokers, America’s premiere line of professional grade smokers built in Yoder, Kansas.

These smokers are handcrafted by skilled craftsmen using the finest heavy-duty ¼-inch steel. A testament to quality and performance, Yoder Smokers can be found in backyards around the world and taking home top honors on the competition barbecue circuit across the United States.

The new All Things Barbecue retail store and headquarters located in the Historic Delano District in Wichita, KS.
