Thermoworks, a Utah-based company selling high quality temperature measurement instruments manufactured in the U.K., has introduced four new products for home and backyard cooks. I have used Thermoworks’ products for a number of years and I’m continually impressed by their quality and customer service.
A Pellet Smoker Simplifies Barbecue
I gave up smoking meat a few years ago because it was getting to be too much trouble. First I had to locate the wood, which meant calling firewood lots and asking if they had any pecan or fruit woods around. And then, during the smoking process, was the constant adding of the wood to the firebox, which interrupted anything else I was trying to do. The best time to smoke was during a football game when I could add wood during the timeouts for commercial breaks. But football isn’t on during the summer, which is the traditional time for smoking. Finally, I gave it up and just went to the Pork and Brew Cookoff and bought a year’s supply of pulled pork and brisket from my friends, the Texas Rib Rangers.

Burn! Tested: The Jeavenly Host
That’s where Jalapeno Jeaven’s Jeavenly Host entered the story. They exhibited at the National Fiery Foods and Barbecue Show this year and agreed to let me review one. I was interested in what they had to offer not just because I needed a popper rack. Theirs had one significant difference worth noting—prongs.

It’s not much help against assassins in helicopters, but if you like the idea of portable rotisserie grilling, it’s worth a look.
Perfect Chemistry: Capsaicin as Jewelry
If you make someone weep and blush on Valentine’s Day, you’ve either done something really well, or really screwed the pooch. However, if you want to let someone know they’re as hot as capsaicin without frying their tastebuds, this clever gift might be the way to go.
