About The Smoking Grill

What this site is

The Smoking Grill publishes practical guides to live-fire cooking: recipes, techniques, smokers, grills, gear and bourbon pairings. It is a small site, and it grows slowly on purpose. We would rather publish a few guides that are accurate and genuinely useful than a stream of thin ones.

Pieces are credited to The Smoking Grill Kitchen, the house byline for the site's editorial work. We do not attach invented names or personas to articles.

How we write

• Food-safety temperatures come from USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service guidance, and each piece links to its sources.
• Doneness targets are presented as ranges and texture tests, not guarantees. Every cooker and every cut behaves a little differently.
• Published and updated dates are shown on every piece. When we correct something, the updated date changes.
• The site has no affiliate links today. If it adds them, they will be disclosed as described in our affiliate disclosure.
