Hello my grilling friends! Well, it used to be the joke when I lived out west ski bumming it that if you waited five minutes the weather would change on you. I guess the jokes on us east coasters now that we have been teased ever so much with the smell of spring over the last few weeks and then BAM, get yir freaking winter coat back on before you freeze to death! LOL! Ahhhh to be truly

Hola grillers! I don 't know about you guys but I'm loving the longer days and dare I say that Spring cleaning gets me motivated to get all I need in place so I can drop it into high gear and keep the kamado fires burning through Summer! I recently received an email from a friend who like myself is completely immersed in the ways of the kamado and the lifestyle that goes with it. We have been

Greetings from the "GTO" lab grillers! Can't you just feel it coming? Spring has certainly sprung although the minus ten degree mornings still remind me that winter's air is still lurking! At this time of year I take advantage of precious time and weeks leading up to early April to prep my grilling gear for "The Grateful Grilling Party Experience" which anyone who has experienced will tell you

Hola Grillers!!!!!!!!!! I hope you are all enjoying a fantastic week of grilling and chilling as we all look forward to Spring,  and the ski season coming to a close, breaks my heart but it has been grand!  Last year at this time I made the trip down to Orlando Florida to the largest trade show in the bbq industry called HPBA.

Hey Grilllerssssssssss! The other night I was having some problems getting to sleep, excitement perhaps of what's ahead for The Grateful Griller as I set my compass bearings for 2011, a year that I'm anticipating will be full of kamado excitement and parties not to mention demo's, and other cool projects I have lined up.  I got to thinking in the silence of the night about what I have learned

Hey grillers all across the land! So, I get asked all the time what I do when the high season ends for the "Grateful Griller Party Experience" and I thought to myself the other day, why not share my other passion with you all which is for skiing! Ever since I can remember I have been totally in love with this sport and awesome mode of transportation. Having been born and raised in the

Hey family, friends, and fans alike! I am without a doubt so excited to tell you all about my adventures over the last few weeks of excitement in and around the "gto" deck in the best little village in all the land, Wakefield of coarse!  So as most of you know by now, I took delivery a few weeks ago of by far the most incredible kamado cooker I have ever had the pleasure of setting my eyes

My world over the last few weeks has been truly inspiring not to mention a tad crazy!

What's happening grilling friends and fans! I'm always so surprised that by the time I get a new story up on the blog about my adventures with "k" four weeks goes by or sometimes six and I find myself saying, where has the time gone and what's taken so long to come up with another ditty from the vault? All that to say things are grand in the "gto" corner here in my favorite village of

Greetings grilling brother's and sister's across the land!Well now, don't you all love the Fall smell in the air as we head into yet another season, my favorite I might add, as we wait for all those leaves to change color yet again? Even though I am an avid skier and love winter, for me, there's nothing better than grilling in the Fall with friends and family gathered round the kamado as we

Hello grilling brother's and sister's across this great land!Well, Summer's not quite over and it's been great to savour the last few cold pints while hanging with friends and family on the deck! I personally am not going to miss the humidity but as long as my kamado is next to me I'm good to go and go and go!I had the pleasure earlier on in August to hang out north of Wakefield at a great

Hola Grilling Friends!Now most of you were probably thinking I was M.I.A. the last few weeks but the truth is that I have been busy behind the scenes getting prepped for what is certainly going to be an exciting year in 2010 as it relates to the "grilled to obsession" lifestyle and "Grateful Griller" concept. I have also been putting the finishing touches on 24 additional stories for the blog

Hola fire & food grilling fanatics!As always, I am hoping you are all well and taking your ceramic grilling adventures higher and higher with each meal! I thought I would write some random thoughts about the "GTO" lifestyle that came to me while on a spectacular drive back to my home town last week to see my father in the Laurentians. The color's were still beautiful and the autoroute was

Hello grilling friends!A few weeks ago I received an interesting yet disturbing email from a guy named Colin. In a few words Colin introduced himself, commented and complimented my blog which he checks in with once and awhile ( thanks for that Colin) and then proceeded to tell me that he has been an enthusiastic griller, (understatement) for the last few years since he purchased his BGE.

Hello grilling friends!What a few weeks it has been indeed! From the indian summer ending to the magnificent Fall colors peaking , yours truly has been deck hopping and man handling more than a few fires and in typical "GTO" fashion, they have all been amazing gigs with great food, music and people, but one I must admit sticks out above the rest. Over the past few months I have been in

Hello Grilling Friends!Now that Spring's over and Summer's begun I'm anticipating a great looking September and October and predicting that the leaves should be changing no later than December 1st, wouldn't that be awesome? As we know the reality is that Fall is closing in, like it or not, and quite frankly, I say, bring it on!!! I love the Fall for many reasons but a few stick out above the

Hola grilling friends!I am hoping that this latest post finds all of you well and right into the daily "GTO" lifestyle as you all continue to expand your culinary horizons with your cherished ceramic oven of choice. Now let's be honest with each other for a moment and admit that we all like to be good at something in life and find that place where we can impress or perhaps show off our skill set

Hello grilling friends!I am really excited to share some very exciting news with you all! I have had the pleasure over the last year and a bit to make friends with a man I have come to know as T.K. Its short for Tarsem Kholi and he is the man responsible for creating by far one of the best Kamado style cookers/ovens on the market today called GrillDome. Now, for those of you who have never

Hello grilling friends!I hope and trust that everyone out there in "GTO" country is having a remarkable summer and coming up with all kinds of fantastic creations off your ceramic oven of choice! I have been cooking like a devil since March and there are no signs of slowing down as of yet as we head into August. I thought it would be a good idea as I have had quite a few questions about the

Hello grilling friends!Well things are rolling along just fine this summer and even if we have been getting more of what I call "irish sunshine" referring to the rain, it hasn't put and never puts a damper on the fact that if you own a ceramic oven and its on your deck at the house or cottage or where ever it may be, everyone is smiling knowing that there's great food cooking all the time!

Hi Folks!It always amazes me even after all these years of cooking with ceramics at the results I get with any combination of food I throw at these beautiful earthen vessels. I love my Primo's as much as I love my Big Green Egg's and depending on the party or day or how many people might be on my deck one thing is for sure, come hell or high water nothing gets in the way of the delicious food

Hello my grilling friends!Big news from the "GTO" corner! ( grilled to obsession) for those not in the know, I am very pleased to announce that I have aligned myself with Ivo Cutlery Canada as the official knife of choice for all my ceramic grilling endeavors! I would like to personally thank Mark Logan for his time and efforts in getting me dialed up with an extraordinary product which I

Hello Folks!Last month I had the pleasure of grilling up a storm for my friend Ron Eade at Kaffe 1870 in beautiful Wakefield, Quebec and what a feast it was! I also shot some footage with Ron and to my surprise I guess he felt it was good enough to upload to YouTube so here you are folks and stay tuned for many more exciting video initiatives that "The Griller" has on the agenda for the coming

Hola my ceramic grilling amigo's,Ok, first and foremost my sincere apologies for being very inconsistent with new blog posts!  I have learned quickly that when you wear 50 different hats when building your own brand you have to learn how to juggle faster and faster every day, so, with that said, I promise to be posting new entries once if not twice weekly from here on out, cross my grilling heart

Hola grilling friends!At long last, the spring air is blowing in and with it the thoughts of those beautiful deck parties right at home with your family and friends and what better time to get organized than now.  As "The Grateful Griller" preps things for the next six months I am excited to report that I have been a very busy guy over the last four months to improve my product offerings and

Hola my grilling friends!Well this past weekend was special indeed for more reasons than one.  I got a rare chance because of a last minute call from my brother to blast down to Montreal and see a Habs game thanks to a great family friend, thanks again Joel.  It took me almost a nano second to make up my mind and even though I am not a big hockey fan, I had never seen the Habs play live,

Hola my grilling friends!It's a new day, a new year and a new grilling season is just around the corner although if you are like me grilling never stops, it just keeps getting better and better with every meal.  My apologies for the delay in getting new posts up but I decided just after Christmas that I would take an extended break which was great and look out because the batteries are feeling

Hello Folks,So after the last post I thought it might be a good idea to enlighten my existing clients and anyone new to my blog about what "The Grateful Griller" concept and experience is all about.  When I came up with the idea a few years back to develop a new and innovative system to sell "The Big Green Egg" I really had no idea that it would morph into what it is today and now that I know

Hola my grilling amigo's,As light snow falls from the sky,  I can't help but be excited for ski season but also for the holiday grilling season on the deck.  Over the last few weeks as I, like most people,  get things from the Fall put away and stored until next Spring, the entire concept of storage took over my brain space for awhile as I reflected on what I would have done without the support

Hola amigo's,Well, where to start on an evening like this.  We have just seen about 25cm of fresh snow fall in the Gatineau's over the past few days and things are looking pretty magical indeed out there.  Instead of trying to roll back the months and remember what took place in May/08 tonight,  I figure I should simply talk about what's shakin today and as I get into this world of blogging,  the

Hola my grilling friends!At long last the time has finally come to take a rest and reflect for a moment or two on how the last seven months have flown by and I honestly can't believe that Xmas is around the corner.  I think I can now say with confidence that "The Grateful Griller" has landed!  I want to first and foremost say a million thank-you's to all my clients for allowing me the unique
