  • st1521: The Technology of Barbeque-Cooking with a Traeger Pellet Grill [Podcast]
    Humans have been grilling and barbecuing since the beginning of time (or at least the discovery of fire). Good barbecue is low and slow and requires a lot of babying.  What if technology could help with the amount of time you actually have to hover over the grill?  Pellet grills use temperature, hardwood and a digital brain to allow you to do other things beside sit next to your grill all day.  Plus the pellets are very environmentally friendly.

  • st1520: Use Your Phone to BBQ – the iGrill Keeps Track for You [Podcast]
    One of the pitfalls of barbecuing, especially when doing long smokes, is having to babysit the smoker for temperature drops and spikes.

    In this episode I share about 2 devices that give you at least a little freedom of movement. Both keep temperature and transmit to your smartphone or tablet via bluetooth. One is the tried and true iGrill2 (which I recommend) and the other a newcomer, the Meater. Check out our links below for more info.

  • st1518: “Hey Siri” Unpacking Apple’s Latest Announcements – new iPhones, iPad Pro, Watch os2 and Apple TV [Podcast]
    In today’s episode I get to talk about my favorite thing, new goodies.  Specifically new goodies from Apple.  On September 9, Apple shared some new updates.  But instead of repeating the entire keynote, I want to give you some highlights, the things I thought were innovative.



    It is amazing to me, when apple announces something, the negative comments that come out.  I mean, if some of these things happened 20 years ago, the world would be in awe.  Instead we go, “Really, thats it.  Can’t you show me something really exciting.”  Well lets see if we can pull out the exciting from the mundane.  Let’s talk about the new iPhones, the iPad Pro, updates in Watch os and the Apple TV.
