Once again we are getting hit with another storm. Now mind you here on the island we are used to wind and thunderstorms and high surf and such. But snow? every Sunday for 7 out of the last 9 weeks it has snowed. Enough to give this landlocked pirate A Tropical Depression.
Staying inside to watch the football games and jumping in the hot tub before the snow starts.

Webers New Hot Zone
Whether or not searing is a good grilling practice is finally debatable. But Weber has introduced on their Summit line for 2008 a sear zone right in the middle set of burners.
To instantly sear your meat just turn on an additional burner that will run the thermometer up to 1,000 degrees for a great sear. Afterwards just turn off the sear burner and cook as normal.
Not into the gas scene?
Weber has taken it's famously successful "Q" and introduce a charcoal model. Same great cute little looks with the advantage of real smoke for real cue from the "Q"

Happy New Year Land Lubbers!
I made it to midnight last night. I did have to scrape the barnacles from my eyes to get up by the usual 6AM this morning though. All is quiet on the grill deck and the cigar bar outside. The Jolly roger is blowing in the snowy winds of 2008.
Tropic-Al and the crew will be heading up to Wayneright Lodge this weekend for the annual Winter Cigars and Bars Tour. We will be drinking heavily, smoking Cubans and eating pub food at some of the best dives in the Adirondacks.
Unfortunately the only BBQ shack in the dacks in Saranac Lake is shut for the season. But we will get to play with fire. Hardwood fire too building the fire in the wood stove to keep warm. Quite often the inside temp only gets to the low 50's even after burning what feels like a whole cord of wood in one weekend!
Check this cool BBQ site www.bbqtv.com . This really cool site is complete with the best links this side of The Smoke Ring.
ARRRGGGHH!
