Last Sunday we had some family coming over and wanted to make a mixed grill to feed everyone. For this cook I went with bone-in chicken thighs, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn. The trick to a cook like this is timing and grilling space. No worries as I was able to navigate both and come […]

As some of you know by now I contribute to another blog featuring several Big Green Egg cooks and their creations: Big Green Brotherhood.

Big Green Egg Thai Marinated Trip Tip
