Welcome To The Grateful Griller's Kamado Kingdom


Hello grillers of the kamado kind!

What a night it was last evening as I did what I do best, hang out with family and cook till my hearts content which it never really is because I never want the celebrations or the feast's to end and I'm sure a lot of you can relate. Planked salmon was on the menu with roasted veggies, yogurt, mint, honey drizzle and cold as ice white Chateau Des Charmes Riesling which goes down like a fresh waterfall of spring like fruitiness that just takes the entire party up a notch or two if you know what I mean!

If I'm right, it was a full moon last night and if it wasn't then I still felt like howling at it because of how much fun I was having! All that said I was planning on writing a totally different post today but I couldn't resist this idea that came to me. It totally grabbed a hold of me when I got this picture of a brand new Primo XL recently purchased by a guy who was kind enough to allow me to use it for this post. Anyways, I'm having some troubles sleeping lately because I'm so excited for Spring and Summer to arrive, so, I'm typically up 4 or 5 times in the night listening to music or writing or trying to decide which kamado of mine is going to create our next magical meal.

I'm up in our loft gazing out of a huge window that faces our open field and I'm listening to some old New Order and Depeche Mode from the 80's and there in front of me is the moon slowly going down and making way for the new days sun. At that moment in the wee hour silence this picture said a million things to me and this Primo almost looks as if its being touched by the hand of god as the light hits it in the coolest way. Coming from a guy who's not very religious it was awesome and I realized just how much faith I have for these incredible cookers that I feel I owe so much to for all the happiness they bring me and the ones who mean the most to me.

Keep on grilling friends and never let the fire go out!

Do you think they can feel us coming "K"?
They just need to open the door, cos that's all we need.
I have this desperate feeling that grilling for the world is where we're gonna be.
We know they hear us knocking "K",
If there's a kamado kingdom behind it all,
then we'll take this story around the world and back.
In our infinite wisdom we're gonna show them how this "GTO" life can be.
We know that they know that we're not pretending.
Our two heart's beat as one.
Our tribal fires will blaze trails for all to see and feel.
Together we will all be grilled to obsession.....

Grateful Griller's Cookin All Day & Dancin All Night with Kamado!




Hey, Hey, Hey, GTO Nation!

Just the other day I was flippin through some old pic's of my travels with "K" and I was cranking some Kings Of Leon at the same time and got so inspired by their song "Manhattan"off their latest album that I said to myself, self, here's another story from the "grilled to obsession" lifestyle that I want to share with you all! Keep on grilling brother's and sister's!

A new day dawns on our deck
We're gonna cook all day
We're gonna dance all night
That's how we play together "K"
I said, oh yeah, yeah!
I said, oh hey, hey!
I'm gonna build your fire
I'm gonna stoke it up
We're gonna twist and smoke and tell a joke
Then we're gonna pass this cup to all who want to dance with us.
I said who are you?
Doesn't matter who you are,
Have some wine from my grateful reservoir!
We're gonna show you all how to kiss the stars!
We're gonna cook all day!
We're gonna dance all night,
Cos "K"s gonna show us how to see the light,
The Kamado light!

feed the fire griller's and the desire to always take it higher....

The Grateful Griller Just Can't Get Enough Kamado!


Hola GRILLERSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

So, after coming back from the HPBA Show in Orlando USA, the Griller hasn't been the same! I not only met some great people down in Florida, but I came away with a sense of needing to up the ante and contribute to the ever exciting world of BBQ! So, without any further fuss my grilling friends, let it be baby! I love you Kamado!

When I'm with you baby, I go out of my head!
I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough!
All the things you do to me and everything you cook, I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.
We dance and smoke as we fall in love and I just can't seem to get enough of you!
We drive together, we're driven down the street
and I just can't get enough, and I just can't get enough
Everytime I think of you, I know we have to meet, and I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough,
It's getting harder as I burn in love , and I just can't seem to get enough of you!
I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough of you "K"!
And when it rains, your still there grilling up for me, and I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.
Just like a rainbow you know you set me free, and I just can't get enough, and I just can't get enough.
You are my angel "K" and you give me your love, and I just can't seem to get enough of you...

Feed the fire my friends and the desire to take your grilling game higher!

"GG"xx
