Not to be confused with the shot of the same name, an Irish breakfast is a meal that’s hearty, wholesome and hard to put down. Across the pond, this kitchen-sink combination of bacon, sausage, black and white pudding, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, baked beans and bread is referred to as just a “full breakfast,” and it definitely lives up to its name.

When it comes time to test out a new ride, it’s called the shakedown. This first test of a vehicle is important for getting a feel for the new car and working out any kinks before race day. That’s just what we did with this recipe a few months ago when we took our Green Mountain Grill on its maiden voyage.

Ever feel like you’re just spinning your wheels? That’s not exactly a bad thing – as long as you can get in gear and tear off down the track without laying down too much rubber. This week, we’ve got a recipe for wings that’s sure to shift your outdoor gathering into overdrive.

This time on Lance’s Pit Stop, we’re revving our engines for a slingshot with some spicy Asian short ribs. Our recipe is inspired by Korean barbecue, but with a slow-smoked twist.

Now, we’ll admit the similarities between grilling burgers in your backyard and racing maneuvers involving contact between cars traveling upward of 200 miles per hour are few and far between, but in both cases, they’re simple, commonly employed tactics that – when done right – can be extremely effective.

Contrary to popular belief, slow-smoking doesn’t have to be difficult, and it doesn’t have to take all day. So if you’re looking for a fast, easy, efficient way to cook up something just as delicious as anything slow-smoked for hours on end, try this recipe for juicy, beer-can barbecue chicken. Here’s how it’s done:
