I’ll be on the road to four locations in Texas in August to perform cooking demonstrations for one of two of my latest books, Dishing Up New Mexico, at four Central Market Cooking School locations. I’ll be in Dallas (August 11), Ft. Worth (August 12), Austin (August 13), and Houston (August 14). While in Houston, I will be making appearances around the city and particularly at the iBurn hot shop.
12 Brazilian Recipes to Honor the World Cup
Before the World Cup started, I thought it would be a good idea to present a selection of Brazilian recipes, in honor of the WC’s host country. But then I forgot about it. With the WC entering its hot phase, below is the list of Brazilian recipes on Fiery Foods & BBQ that I’ve assembled over the years. Just click on a title to see the recipe.
Hell, yeah, we talk about Fight Club
Hog Heaven, located adjacent to Centennial Park in downtown Nashville, is literally a hole in the wall BBQ joint. While there are a few “outdoor” tables most of the business is takeout with folks enjoying the hickory-smoked meats in the park.

Burn! Tested: The Tappecue Wi-Fi Thermometer
Need a great Christmas gift for that special outdoor cook on your Christmas list? Although a bit pricy (but in the same price range as similar units), take a look at the Tappecue, a four-probe Wi-Fi enabled remote thermometer that is compatible with iPhones, iPads, iPods and Android devices. It does not work with a Windows phone. With the built-in Wi-Fi interface, you can even allow your friends to monitor how your cook is going. The probe temperature range is 50 to 500 degrees F. and the probes have six-foot cables that make them very adaptable to most smokers and cookers. (You can even use the Tappecue to monitor oven temperatures if you’re cooking indoors).
The Way of the Bun: A Quickie on Grilling Etiquette
Last weekend, a good buddy of mine took it upon himself to open the lid on my grill and check the food. Right after I’d just checked it myself. My friend’s lucky he’s stringy or he’d have been the next course. I’m not a cannibal. I am, however, a firm believer in object lessons. Especially to any would-be violators of my grill second guessing my work. I have plenty of friends so I can afford to cook one here and there.
The Four Horsemen of Super Bowl Barbecue
During the Bare Bones competition at Meatopia Oakland last year, I couldn’t help but hear Chris Lilly talk to his Kingsford buddies about this year’s football season. Mostly because I was eavesdropping. That conversation mutated into the kernel of an idea which grew into a great question: what do some of the biggest and brightest in barbecue do for Super Bowl Sunday?
The Burn’ed Christmas List, Part 2
When Burn! Blog editor Mark asked me to put together my version of a Christmas list, I decided to recap some of the products I’ve featured in past posts, all of which I personally love. I added a few new things too!
