Well, the game did not end the way we would have liked. But, the sun came up Sunday and life goes on. Alabama fans have suddenly become experts on Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame’s final schedule. Crazier things have happened.
That said, the tailgate was a great time. Always fun to spend extra time with friends. For the brisket I tried a quick cook method in the oven and then finished...

While I am not a huge fan of getting up early in the morning, it was indeed nice being finished and back at the RV in time for the afternoon games. Welcome to an 11:21 kickoff. Additionally, this tailgate brought a venue change as we were across from the quad at the Shelby County Alumni Association Tent as Alabamatailgate.com was the sponsor.
It was nice being on the in the mix of foot traffic....

Check out my store right here! I will be adding more and more items over the coming weeks. I have had a couple of people ask me about it, they of course are concerned with shipping, security etc. My store is simply an extension of Amazon. I am an Amazon affiliate. What that means is, once you are in my store you are actually on Amazon. I see none of your data or what you purchase; I actuall...

Those 8:30 games just plain ol’ stink!! While they give you lots of time to hang out with friends and enjoy tailgating, well they give you lots of time to tailgate. My feet, knees and back are still letting me know they are not happy.
We lucked up with the WX as it could have been worse than it was. We had a small window right as food was coming off that the bottom dropped out and we all ha...

Another home game for the 2012 Crimson Tide is in the books!
Saturday started off a little warmer than I thought it was going to be. The sun was pretty brutal early on in the day. Note, bring sunscreen even in September. It cooled off for the evening games and gave us some wonderful weather to finish watching the LSU / Auburn game.
The food turned out well and Cindy had some wonderful add...

Well, the first home game and tailgate is officially in the books. Each year gets a little easier. Each time I pack the truck I think ‘I must be missing something’. But, we got there with about everything we needed and little of what we did not. I forgot my welding gloves for getting stuff on and off the grill and handling hot cast iron pots. My propane torches igniters had stopped working, so I c...

Saturday was great, I made it over to the quad for the first time in two years and got to spend some time at the Shelby County University of Alabama Alumni Chapter’s tent serving some lunch and meeting some members. It was nice to be right there in a high traffic area and being able to interact with everyone. I must say a special thanks to my wife Julie for helping carry everything over to the q...

As I mentioned in my Arkansas tailgate post my wife bought me a Weber Summit 670 in black. I have cooked in it several times already and love what I have seen so far. I do not like the all stainless models and was excited when we found out the summit series was being offered in colors.
This grill is way too large to be taking back and forth to tailgates, plus I have the NG model. But, I ‘tai...

For years I used normal everyday kitchen tongs or a spatula when grilling. I always seemed to have some flimsy model that did not line up well or could not support much weight. Not only that, but I found thrusting my hand over a blazing hot grill while holding onto 8” tongs to be quite uncomfortable.
I finally took the time to visit a restaurant supply store and buy a quality pair that were stu...

Cast iron is a great tool for tailgates. It is durable and conducts heat very well. However, it takes a little care to keep in cooking shape. Below are the steps I use when I want to re-season my pots after I have to scrub them down. I know some people claim you should never ever use soap on the pots. I find that sometimes you have to do just that in order to get them clean.
Step 1. Thoroughly ...
