We regularly stock several all-natural, hardwood charcoals from Argentina. Right now our most popular is ‘Wicked Good’. It smells like heaven when it starts to burn and provides beautifully consistent heat. Furthermore, it’s 100% natural. Not stuffed with vile, satanic, tumor-causing, puppy-hating, canto-pop loving, ‘mystery’ ingredients. Live longer: use natural charcoal.
We know that a lot of steel firepits get pretty beat up during use in your backyards. All that flame, heat and smoke residue is a toxic combination. Did you know that, with a can of high temperature paint you can make them look new again? Yep. Check out Trevor’s handiwork above. He chose ‘Dusty Rose’ for the legs and firescreen. If you’re not quite as comfortable with your feminine side as Trevor, you can just use black.

An ode to Denzel’s Coffee Flavoured Barbecue Sauce
Question:
Hi Doc,
I’ve been shopping around for barbecues and have noticed that natural gas versions of the same barbecue are always about $50 more expensive. What gives?
Thanks,
Rogert
Answer:
Dear Rogert,
Short version: natural gas barbecues cost more to build. Long version: a propane barbecue includes a short (2’) hose/regulator combo, a natural gas barbecue includes a long (10’) hose and a brass quick disconnect for connecting to your home’s gas line. This longer hose and set of brass fittings is an expensive set of gear and their inclusion makes the price go up. Much like the inclusion of the “t” in your name makes my eyebrows go up.
Thanks,
Doctor McGrillemup
