Brine vs. Rub Experiment Part 1

Better BBQing Through Chemistry

Science News has a great piece on the American Chemical Society’s chem-themed cook out and it appears that eating your meats properly cooked, that is medium and rarer cuts your carcinogenic intake by, at times, 88%. “Unfortunately, if you ask the [food] safety people they’ll tell you to cremate everything,” said Shirley Corriher, a food [...]

Learning to Drop In

I’ve come quite a ways since purchasing my Arbor Hybrid back in April.  When I first received that board I struggled to stay relaxed while kicking around a block or two or maintaining balance while bombing pretty low grade hills.
