Excellent! I love the "keep the chick out of the loop" strategy. What's with all the sausage?

Say Crash, good to see ya.

Yeah that vid was kinda fun, what with the perfunctory ritual swigs and the whole hierarchy scheme of things.

But you're the cook, so give us the skinny on the to-prick-or-not-to-prick philosophical conundrum with sausage grilling. Was the ostracized outsider right? i.e., don't be a prick?

:?)

Hey Crash!
Our resident BBQ master!

I fall into the non-prick camp. The newcomer was right!

The fat will find its way out on its own and if you prick them they dry out.

Cook on a low heat to make sure they're cooked through and so as not to burst the skin.

I think it is proper etiquette to refer to Clash as "Meister" in this format.
As in: "Yo Dawg, he da sausage meister awnah B B Q yo." or "Yo Dawg, da chicken meister is in da house yo." I like to think one day he will hold a clinic on tongs (the care and handling of) cause I'm totally there.

Definitely no pricking or probing. Not only will the sausages dry but the fat will cause flare-ups. And unless you're equipped with an atomizer or water bottle, flames will singe the meat. I don't know 'bout you fellas, but i don't like my sausage burnt.

Next to the 10" French knife, tongs are a cook's best tool.

The Q-Meister has spoken!

What's a French Knife? DO I have one in the knife block set I bought?
I'm more of a cleaver-type guy myself...I like the weight behind it.

So there ya have it!
Don't be a prick while BBQing!

I need new knives. Mine are fifteen years old and I just can't sharpen a good edge on them anymore.
Any suggestions on knife brands?
