In the BBQ world the name Craig Sherry and his Texas Pepper Jelly brand of products have been synonymous with creating mouth-watering dishes for years. I have recently had the good fortune of reviewing three great Texas Pepper Jelly products (Mango Lime Habanero Bird Bath, both Pineapple Habanero and Apple N’ Brown Sugar Habanero Rib Candy).

The first one I tried was the Mango Lime Habanero Bird Bath. Naturally I couldn’t have a product called Bird Bath and not use chicken wings for the initial test. After putting a light seasoning of just salt, pepper, and garlic I grilled the wings on the Weber kettle using a vortex. I glazed with the Bird Bath for the last 10-15 minutes and after I pulled the wings I added some more Bird Bath to the pan and tossed the wings around. To go along with the wings I also did some chicken halves, also lightly seasoned with a SPG rub.Immediately the sweetness of the Mango and zestiness of the Lime came through, followed by a hit from the Habanero. Don’t be scared of the Habanero though because the sweetness really balances out the heat creating layers of flavor. The Mango Lime Habanero also pairs excellent with seafood as I found out when I tried it with shrimp and salmon.

My love affair with datil pepper began during summers spent in Saint Augustine, and it’s the very essence of Bear’s and Burton’s Breakfast Sauce that keeps that flame alive. This sauce has turned mundane breakfasts into extraordinary culinary adventures, boasting a delightful fusion of savory and sweet notes that dance on the palate. A luscious tomato base anchors the sauce, introducing a symphony of herbs and spices that add layers of depth and complexity to every mouthful.

What distinguishes Bear’s and Burton’s is its remarkable versatility. While it effortlessly elevates classic breakfast staples like eggs, bacon, and sausages, its allure extends far beyond the morning hours. I’ve uncovered its delectable qualities as a dipping sauce for snacks and a flavorful marinade for grilled meats, showcasing its adaptability. The sauce’s perfect consistency is housed in an easy pour glass bottle, allowing for precision in pouring.

Bennie Kendrick needs no introduction those who are serious about BBQ and Grilling. Bennie is from Santa Maria, CA; famous for its unique style of barbecue that is simply seasoned and cooked on grills over open flames. Bennie’s love of cooking came from barbecuing with his grandfather. His humble, hardworking style turned his passion for great barbecue into a full-time obsession, which is now followed by millions of fans worldwide.

This newly released 8 inch BBQ knife from Messermeister was designed in collaboration with Bennie Kendrick, “The King of Backyard BBQ.” The knife has a deep rocker for effortless prep work. The butcher’s style blade is ideal for cleaving and trimming meats while the 80/20-blade grind is finished with a razor sharp hollow ground edge. These high quality blades are crafted from German X50 stainless steel for knives that are rust resistant and easy to maintain. Solid bolsters and full tang construction give the knives great balance and heft.

We used this knife over the past month on countless cutting tasks and found this knife performed like a much more expensive piece. We found this beast never lost its edge after cutting veggies, proteins, slicing, dicing, or even chopping. We will be putting this one in the knife block for sure.

Think you have seen just about every imaginalbe fuel source for grilling and BBQ? We want to introduce you to a brand new pellet that we think could become a major game changer in the pellet market. Smokin’ Pecan is a family based company from Louisana that has been a part of the pecan growing community since the 1950’s and now with a way to turn their biggest by-product (pecan shells) into a fantastic flavor maker.

Being from South Georgia we are no stranger to seeing or using pecan wood as a source of smoke for our grills. The abundance of pecan here in our region is another major factor as to why we use it constantly. In the past we have burnt the pecan hulls during outdoor oyster roasts as the smoke gives the grilled seafood delights an added flavor kick…and they were always free from the local pecan shelling mill. For years these mills have offered the cracked and broken hulls to be used for everything from mulch in flower beds to art pieces in decorations for homes.

Looking for a charcoal grill that will allow you to cook and do other things at the same time? Then we have a must have for you. The new LoCo 22inch SmartTemp Kettle Charcoal Grill is one of the easiest charcoal fueled grills we have ever started and ran. I’m thinking we will be gifting a few of these to friends who are currently stuck on pellet cookers because they are scared they might not be able to operate a charcoal grill well enough not to burn everything they try to cook.

This new SmartTemp technology combined with an adjustable deflector heat shield can almost guarantee you will protect your grilled items from open flame, but it also offers the option to cook directly over the bed of coals if wanted. Our surface testing found three different achievable temperature zones on the 22 inch grate and these can be set up all at once. You can also set up the grill to run one single medium heat temperature across the entire grate (see photo examples). You can also run the entire grill at the max heat possible with the heat deflector taken out of the grill. The first set up is a perfect setup for cooking the perfect steak after searing it and using less direct heat to bring the internal temperature to your desired wanting.

If the name James Cruse is new to you then you might want to start watching the BBQ competition trail a bit more closely. This fellow has been on fire for the past few years as he has introduced his Louisiana flavors to a ton of different BBQ judges with most of them liking his style a lot!

His team, Bluff City Smokers, has made the finals (placing in the top 3 overall spots) in the rib at the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. In 2021 his team actually won the Rib category. That same year James went on to finish up sixth place overall at the World Food Championships in barbecue (first place, pork). In 2022 James was a cast member on the third season of Food Network show “BBQ Brawl.” James told us his biggest accomplishment in BBQ is winning 3 grand champi-onships at Hogs For The Cause in his back yard of New Orleans.

If you’re looking for something really different and not offensive in any way, then we have found a winner for you. This new creation from Marty Plute is simply afantastic fit for anything you want to grill, smoke, drink, or eat raw!

The presence of lime is there but not in a “slap your face” way. The rub motto is “A crazy twist of flavor” describes this spice mixture perfectly. This is, without a doubt, one of the most unique rubs we have ever tried and are beyond glad for the opportunity. We are betting this homerun will end up in just about every cook trailer in America.

If you’re on the search for a healthier way to bring some serious flavor to you food, then we have found
several options for you. Dan O’s Seasoning has three different blends of flavor makers that will wake up anything you add it to.

Low sodium, no sugar, no MSG, and non GMO make this stuff an automatic for anyone fighting bland food on their current diet. All 3 offerings that we tested are much different from the normal BBQ and grilling seasoning we have ever tried but there is no way to hide just how much flavor these rubs add to virtually anything.

Their vision is to make real seasoning available across the country with a proprietary blend that contains the right amount of real sea salt and 100% herbs and spices. Our tests on chicken, pork steak, and different veggies proved to us that their vision is well on the way to becoming reality.

Our favorite tests came on some grilled asparagus with the origi- nal blend and the spicy blend was perfect on the Super Bowl pop- corn we enjoyed. You can find more about Dan O’s on just about every social media platform made or by searching their internet famous catch phrase “Yum Yum Get Ya Sum. You can find the at https://danosseasoning.com.

Every great pitmaster understands the need to start with clean tools to ensure every cook is the same. This also has to include their grill or pit of choice. A dirty grill or pit can ruin an excellent recipe by changing to gentle smoke flavor profile to a raw bitterness from creosol build up inside the pit. The best way to guard against this process happening is to totally clean your cooking unit back down to the bear metal, which then means you will need to reseason it before cooking.
