BBQHub.com – Barbecue news, events, reviews and information

As we hit mid-summer, I want to share the latest issue of Gourmet Live – the reimagined digital food magazine available as an app for free for both the iPhone and iPad. It’s the thrill of the grill: your ultimate guide to grilling. Meet Denmark’s own national barbecue team as we take a tour of the international ‘cue circuit. FULL STORY found here: http://live.gourmet.com/2011/07/app-exclusive-the-great-danes-of-barbecue/

Other content includes BBQ champs’ picks for the best barbecue restaurants from coast to coast, and how to become a connoisseur of hot coals as Institute of Culinary Education chef instructor James Briscione shares his professional tips and timeless tricks for getting the perfect sear on your steaks. The tips will come in handy for preparing our brand new recipe for Sesame-Soy Flank Steak paired with charred scallions and garlicky sauce.

With a belly full of barbecue, you’ll then be whisked far away to discover what other countries rake over the coals. And to top of your flame-kissed fare, indulge in a smoky-sweet finale in the form of Grilled Peach Sundaes with Salted Caramel Sauce

Embracing its print heritage while reflecting who we are now, Gourmet Live is a reimagined digital food magazine for the 21st century. Combining spectacular graphics, world-renowned voices in food and culture, and the latest in technology and social media, Gourmet Live is a weekly feast for the mind and senses. The Gourmet Live app is available for free from the App Store for both the iPhone and iPad. Additionally, stories from the app can be sampled on the Gourmet Live blog: http://live.gourmet.com.

I like things that make life easier. This Bic flexible lighter is one of those things.  I am forever trying to light my grill or smoker with matches and other lighters but always have to get at odd angles and usually wind up with the flame going out.  I tried this little tool and it is great.  I know, I know…. you’re saying “…it’s just a lighter dude, c’mon”, but I am telling you it is a great thing to have.  I am attaching a couple photos to show size and flexibility.  I recommend getting on and you can order it online at www.bicworldusa.com
