Fat is Flavor – 4 Great BBQ Fats
At You Need a BBQ, we preach meat trimming. Whenever you are prepping a piece of meat, you always need to trim the fat, take a little bit off the edges, round the corners or more. In doing that, you do often reduce the amount of fat on a piece of meat, but don’t worry, on lots of BBQ meats, we replace it with new fat to help jack up the flavors. Here we are going to give you a rundown of a few of our favorite fat products that can be sprayed, rubbed, or poured over your meat to give it that extra fat punch.

Wood Pellet and Natural Gas Combo Grill Options
When it comes to finding a grill that can burn both wood pellets and natural gas, there are only 2 options. Option #1 is to convert a Pit Boss 1230 Combo grill to natural gas. Option #2 is to upfit a Camp chef grill with a sidekick side burner with natural gas conversion burner and a grill box. Both are good options, but they both bring about certain challenges which we will go over here.

Why I Chose the Camp Chef Woodwind 36 as My New Grill
For several years I’ve been running a Pit Boss 700 SC. It’s been a great grill. Reliable, fuel efficient, wimple to use have and produced some great BBQ along the way. Even though it still runs like a top , I bought this grill before we started up You Need a BBQ and I thought it was time to upgrade to one of our new options as there are so many cool new grills out there.
