Summertime- Time for Grilling and Relaxing!

Hi-

Another hot Arizona summer here, and we're having a great time doing what we love to do- splash in the pool and do some serious grilling!  Here's a shot of a pork shoulder I cooked for 6 hours the other day. I've got a traditional wood smoker, but I made this on my gas grill, adding soaked pecan chips to give it great flavor and color.

To get this ready for the grill, all I did was rub it with Survival Spice™, our Scovie Award winning barbecue rub that's great on burgers, steaks, ribs, pork roasts, chicken, fish, veggies, and just about anything you can throw on the grill.  In less than 5 minutes it was ready to cook!

Here's some BBQ essentials to get you through the rest of the summer:

All natural, gluten free. Oh, and amazing. Your "secret weapon" for awesome grilling.	This 10" EZ-Hook® is a "must-have" in every kitchen!	Fun, practical and eye-catching, our cotton apron is comfortable, too.

As always, The Pragmatic Chef™ has great ideas and recipes.  Enjoy your summer, and please help us spread the word by forwarding this to your food-loving friends.  I'm grateful for your support, and as always, thanks for reading!
