If you love to BBQ like we do, then you need to invest in a smoker.  The New Braunfels Oklahoma Joe's Outdoor Smoker is an excellent choice.We have smoked everything on this smoker and have never been disappointed.  Chicken is delectable.  Ribs come out tender and juicy.  Brisket is mouth watering.  Fish is even easily cooked and comes out great--even though I'm...

  I am giving this Brinkman Charcoal Smoker a 3 because it is a good smoker and I don't really have complaints, but it is just average.  There is not anything about it, in my opinion, that makes it more special than other smokers.  I bought this smoker because my friend has one and he raved about it.  I've had this for a year and have only used it about 5 times. ...

This is a mouthwash I found on sale at USA Drug for $3.99. I have been using it for about three weeks now. The directions say to swish for 30 seconds before brushing. As far as taste goes this is one of the better tasting mouthwashes, well at least the Fresh Mint flavor is. This mouthwash is supposed to remove tobacco tar from teeth and kill germs that cause bad breath. While it does do what it...

A few years ago, I found some  vintage figural "smoker" ashtrays at an estate sale. Then, the hunt was on. Here's an example of one of my favorites.This cute little "sailor" is a vintage porcelain figural smoker ashtray. When a cigarette is placed in one of the holes, at the bottom of the ashtray, smoke comes out his mouth. This figure is made of porc...

 Outdoor Gourmet Barbecue is great for cooking outside. It is not too large and is durable. It is an easy take along cooker. I have been cooking on mine for about two and half years. It was an excellent gift. It is still in great condition. It is perfect cooking for just the two of us. It is not heavy so it is easy to move it where you need to. The food always tastes good. It stands up to ...

The Big Green Egg is a top-of-the-line charcoal grill and smoker.  It is made of space-grade ceramics, and designed for maximum thermal efficency.  While the website says that it can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit for steakhouse-type searing, I've gotten mine up to nearly 1000 degrees without a problem.  Amazingly, it can also smoke foods at temperatures a...

I was 24 when I purchased my first home and the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) required me to purchase life insurance to cover the value of the home before they would advance me my mortgage. I decided to go with the cheapest life insurance policy available - Preferred Term 10. I was covered for $250,000. I could've gotten more covereage but elected not to due to the fact that we didn't want...
