Buy Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue 30-inch Ultimate Grill Cleaning Brush Now
THIS PRODUCT IS VERY CHEAPLY MADE, THE HANDLE IS GLUED TO THE METAL HOLDER, WHICH WAS NOT ATTACHED WHEN I RECEIVED IT. THE STEVE RAICHLEN SIGNATURE EMBLEM WAS PUT ON OFF-CENTER WITH A NAIL THAT WENT THROUGH THE HOLE WERE THE HANDLE GOES INTO, THUS NOT LETTING ME PUT THE HANDLE ALL WAY IN, WITHOUT REMOVING THE EMBLEM. THE BRUSHHEAD THREADS FOR THE HANDLE ARE VERY SHALLLOW, TO HOLD THE HEAD ON SECURELY.IF I WERE STEVE, I WOULD BE EMBARESSED TO PUT MY NAME ON THIS PRODUCT.Read Best Reviews of Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue 30-inch Ultimate Grill Cleaning Brush Here
In the past I have always purchased the small grill brushes found at the local homecenter. Seemed that no matter how hard I tried they never got the grill completely clean. I would need to scrap so hard that I would destroy those brushes after the first summer season. My wife purchased this for me and I love it. Gets down into the grill getting all the build up off for the first time since I replaced the grill racks. The long handle keeps my hands away from the hot grill surface. Only issue I see is the handle is too long for it to hang from the side of my grill. My grill is over 20 years old so I think the newer ones might be a bit taller. I had no initial quality issues like some of the other reviewers. Time will tell how this holds up but so far it looks like it will last. I plan to buy some more as gifts for friends/family this year.Want Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue 30-inch Ultimate Grill Cleaning Brush Discount?
When we bought our little Weber Q, we also bought one of these grill cleaning brushes because we had seen Raichlen's show where he uses it. We had our first for 3 years and recently bought another.The steel side works very well to do the tough cleaning, then the brass side can be used to tackle more of the detail. We tend to oil the grill before, so we don't have to use the scraper often. Unlike other similarly priced grill brushes we've used, the bristles don't shed right off the bat. They only started shedding after a few years of regular, heavy use.
We really like the long handle for several reasons. While we just have a wee grill, sometimes we'll clean it while it's hot, so the long reach provides good protection. Also, where we have it stored, we hang it. The length protects it from other items we have hanging nearby.
One important detail: Don't store it outside, or if you do, make sure it's in a container protecting it from rain. Our first grill brush's wood split after being outside, hanging from the grill for 3 years. Now we're keeping the second one in the garage.
Otherwise, we have been very satisfied with the Steven Raichlen Grill Cleaning Brush.

Toas-Tite Sandwich Grill
everything I remembered it to be, and still fun to create different meals/snacks....
I have to admit, I use it even they are not around.
Buy Toas-Tite Sandwich Grill Now
When I was a boy in the 1950's, my parents bought a toast tite which my sister and I loved. My mother gave it to me when I moved out on my own. When I had a son and daughter, they enjoyed making "flying saucer" sandwiches as they grew up and, after they graduated college and left the area to work, a must on their visits home was to make "flying saucer" sandwiches. I was perplexed as to how my one toast tite should be handed down to them. Then I saw an article in my local paper and my problem was solved. I bought one for each on amazon.com and they were thrilled. Now they don't have to wait until I pass away and fight over my one toast tite.PatI wanted to let everyone know that I use the old toastite units a lot. I have purchased over a dozen of the new version and they are GREAT!! I am using the new and old and you can not tell the difference in the way that they work. In reference to the person that reviewed with a 1...a lot of the old ones are aluminum. They seem like solid steel but they are not. They had some that were made of thin steel but the aluminum ones are better. I would buy this new product many times. Thank you Toas-Tite LLC for starting them back into production!!!!This is a nifty, low-tech way of making an awesome grilled cheese sandwich! Very little cleanup is required. Bravo, Toas-Tite!

BBQ Flint Fire Striker- Square Pocket Size with Attachment Clip
Buy BBQ Flint Fire Striker- Square Pocket Size with Attachment Clip Now
The bottom will not stay on and the top will leak fluid if on its side. I got it to strike 2 time before the wick burned away and so that was that so much for 15,000 lights maybe out of the flint witch is all it is good for.Read Best Reviews of BBQ Flint Fire Striker- Square Pocket Size with Attachment Clip Here
This item is what it says it is; a "pocket fire" starter! I received the item, and immediately filled it with the appropriate fuel, after testing it's fire starting capability and slipping the lighter into my pocket I caught a strong whiff of lighter fluid. I pulled the lighter out of my pocket to find that all of the fuel was leaking out into my pocket (hence the title). Upon inspection of the fuel reservoir I noticed that the o-ring designed to prevent such leakage was broken. No problem, I bought two! So I pull out the second one, fill it with fuel, attempt to light it, and the striker snapped in two! This lighter is a piece of junk! Do NOT buy this lighter, their are much better brands out there!Want BBQ Flint Fire Striker- Square Pocket Size with Attachment Clip Discount?

GrillPro 24874 Deluxe Non-Stick Broiler Basket for the Grill, 9-1/2-Inch by 12-Inch
- Part #752223
Insert this in the Big Easy and grill the burgers vertically. Fat runs off and meat is lean and tasty. You can even use 80/20 burgers in this and have a much lower-fat result.
Reasonably easy to clean up after a soaking.
Does everything it's supposed to, so five stars.

Sunbeam RP36 Rocket Grill Parchment Pouches, 36-Pack
Buy Sunbeam RP36 Rocket Grill Parchment Pouches, 36-Pack Now
I have a Sunbeam Rocket Grill and that is what I use to cook almost every thing I eat. I never fry, bake or broil anything anymore. I had used almost all the bags that came with the Grill so I ordered more before I ran out. I remeber the night I ordered the Grill, I was asleep on the sofa and the television was on and just as I was waking I heard the Host say "No clean up". I said to myself I want it, called the station and ordered it before I even knew what I was ordering. And I have enjoyed it so much, I told my Sister and MY daughter about it and how easy it was and what a good job it did and they both ordered them one of the Sunbeam Rocket Grills. When I told my Daughter I had ordered something and wasn't sure what, but when they said no clean-up I knew I had to have it. Its not that I am so lazy I don't clean up but I go for anything that makes life easier.Read Best Reviews of Sunbeam RP36 Rocket Grill Parchment Pouches, 36-Pack Here
They work wonderful to trap the fat at the bottom and then you just toss them into the trash and clean up is done.Want Sunbeam RP36 Rocket Grill Parchment Pouches, 36-Pack Discount?
This product is as described. I have used before and these are great for the rocket grill. They hold up and are not cheap knock-offs like some I have seen.Friday, January 17, 2014
Sportula, Large Grilling Gift Spatula
Buy Sportula, Large Grilling Gift Spatula Now
This gift made grandpa feel very special. The quality was great. Appeared well made and sturdy. Papa is an avid BBQer so it will be used often.Read Best Reviews of Sportula, Large Grilling Gift Spatula Here
The spatula seems fine, but be careful when choosing which one to get. I intended to buy the No. 1 Dad (which was pictured) and got a No. 1 Grandpa spatula instead. This lead to what seemed like a very awkward pregnancy announcement at Christmas, but fortunately we all just had a big laugh.This is a unique gift for the 'grandpa' who grills. It's definitely sized for outdoor grilling use, and not a spatula for indoor fry pan use, as it's just too big for that. The bottle opener at the top is a surprise extra! I'd love to see 'companion' sportulas' made in a smaller size for indoor cooking use, so grandpa can imprint the breakfast pancakes when the grandkids visit :-).Tuesday, December 10, 2013
GrillPro 90613 13-Inch Cast Iron Bar Burner
The price was very good as my Canadian Tire store wanted more than twice the money for each and also the 5% GST plus 9.5% PST
on top of it
As I needed 3 burners to fix my old Kent BBQ, the final price with shipping was less than half what I would have paid locally.
The only issue I had was that the Kent needed 17 inches burners instead of those 15" units but I made a custom bracket to hold the shorter
pieces and they work perfectly.
I love that Kent and it is now over 10 years old and it should be good for another 10 years with that repair.
They were made in New Zealand and sold by CTC in Canada and the warranty was 7 years. Very high quality construction with inoxydable cover
and cast iron cooking grillsThis is a solid 13 inch burner. It will bring at least ten years of daily service. Double check all your burners for gas loss or hot spots.

Black & Decker Belgium Waffle Maker
The things I don't like are that you can't remove the grids for cleaning and it does take a while to preheat. The nonstick works well and looks to be durable. I will post my final verdict in a couple of years.Ther is no temperature control. The setting is so low that after 15 minutes the waffles are not crispy. Don't buy this one.
Buy Black & Decker Belgium Waffle Maker Now
Made in China for Applica Consumer Products and sold under the Black & Decker name, the biggest things that this griddle has going for it are low cost (I bought mine for less than $20) and simplicity. It's slow to preheat, has no temperature adjustment and takes about six minutes to cook a reasonably crisp waffle. The instructions say to wait for the green light before cooking, but if yours works like mine, you'll be waiting a long time for that.The cooking surfaces are not removable for cleaning and the griddle is not water-proof, so wiping the surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge is about all that can be done to keep this waffle maker clean without voiding the appliance's warranty. The surfaces are easy to wipe clean, however.
On the plus side, a convenient carrying handle that locks the griddle closed and stays cool is integrated into the griddle's design, as is a stand-up base where the electric cord can be coiled and stored. After following the instructions for "conditioning" the cooking surfaces with cooking oil before using, I found that waffles are easy to remove from the non-stick surfaces without the need for additional conditioning. The instructions, which I followed, advise NOT to use non-stick cooking sprays.
I bought this waffle maker for occasional use in a motor home because it was cheap and doesn't take up a lot of space. For that application it is okay, but it isn't an appliance for heavy users or waffle gourmets.

Waffles are not crisp as I expected belgian waffles to be. Instructions say not to "lock/hinge" the lid closed while cooking, but if you don't -the waffles won't cook completely on both sides. The hinge lock prevents the lid from being in the down position without locking.Waffles came out heavy and dense, whether I used mixes or made them from scratch. I couldn't decide whether it was the waffle maker, or the recipes. Put the waffle maker away for a month or so, and yesterday took it out to experiment with a new recipe (using yeast this time). The recipe said to use non-stick spray, so I did, totally forgetting that the instructions that came with the waffle maker cautioned not to use nonstick cooking spray. The maker now is destroyed waffles stick, in fact so much, that it was hard to open it after the last batch. Tried reseasoning it with oil, but did not help. Am reading reviews of other waffle irons now need a new one, and I would like a really good one this time.Thursday, August 8, 2013
Hamilton Beach 25451 Indoor Grill with 85-Inch Cooking Surface, Stainless Steel
Buy Hamilton Beach 25451 Indoor Grill with 85-Inch Cooking Surface, Stainless Steel Now
I purchased the Hamilton Beach 25451 as a replacement fro my George foreman grill. The George Foreman grill was clumsy and hard to clean. The 25451 works great and is easy to clean due to the grilling surfaces being removable, cleaning is a snap.Hi, I bought this grill because I was looking for one requiring minimal storage capacity. Not a lot of grill plates, compact, etc. This grills very well and I am pleased in that regard. However, it is supposed to close for upright storage, but the latch on the left side has already broken. The knob on the right side works (but if you crank it too much, the piece the knob is attached to starts to come off the handle) so the thing sort of closes....it's kind of half open on one side because of the latch. Disappointing since this is the main reason I bought this model, and for that reason I gave it two stars (and that is being generous).Want Hamilton Beach 25451 Indoor Grill with 85-Inch Cooking Surface, Stainless Steel Discount?
I am in love with this! We bought a foreman to replace an old one and when I was doing the prewash thing... the teflon began coming off... I took it back! This one has been holding up beautifully! I use it to make everything from pork chops to cheese burgers to roasted peppers! It is really easy to use! The only problem I had had is if you have something super juicy, like my hamburgers, sometimes the juices will run out the back of the unit, not a lot, but enough where you have to wipe the counter. My foreman was waaaaaay messier though!Sunday, June 23, 2013
Rosle 25058 Barbeque Marinade Injector
It is well made, rust proof and the stainless steel needle is rust proof. All components of this gadget can be disassembled for washing and are dish washer safe.
My chicken with lemon, garlic and rosemary was exceptionally flavorful. Much more so than rubbing on or stuffing the interior.
I am very satisfied with using this product. It really adds more boldness of flavor if that is what you're seeking.
