Meathead's Links Policy

If you would like me to link this site to you, please read this page thoroughly. I will not accept requests for links unless you follow the procedures on this page. Do not send me an email. Click on the link below.

This website is all about serving people who love food and drink. I carefully select links that I think meet the needs of my visitors. I spend a lot of time selecting links and writing about them.

For me to even consider linking to your website it should be related to food and drink. Your site must be informative, accurate, original, well maintained, and well-designed. Please do not submit sites that are under construction. Wait until it is complete.

The identity of the author/owner/webmaster or other persons in control must be clear and plain, and contacting him or her must be simple.

Your site or your advertisers must not include or promote pornography, hate, bigotry, libel, violence, discrimination, or illegal activity. I reserve the right to reject any links that I may deem offensive at my discretion without explanation.

You must conspicuously post your privacy policy on your web site and make it available to all visitors. Your privacy policy must comply with all laws and accurately disclose your collection and use of visitor information.

When asking for a link to your site it is especially nice if you already have a link to this site, but reciprocity is not a condition for listing.

Listings are usually grouped by topic and then listed alphabetically. I might give you preferential treatment if your site is especially good and especially useful to my visitors.

To submit your site for consideration, please click here and send me a sentence or three describing your site. I almost certainly will edit the description if I decide to link to you.

Please please please read this before posting a comment or question:

1) Please use the table of contents or the search box at the top of every page before you ask for help.
2) Please click the "Follow Conversation" button or the "Email" button below your comment so you will be alerted when we reply.
3) Please don't ask any questions that involve temperature unless you tell us that you are using a digital thermometer! Dial thermometers are often off by as much as 50°F! If you are not using a good digital you have no idea what the temp really is so we can't help you. Please read this article about thermometers, then buy one of our recommendations, and then, if the problem persists (chances are it won't), hit us with your questions.
4) Please tell us everything we need to know to answer your question like the type of cooker you are using.

5) If you are shopping for a grill or smoker and need help, tell us your budget!
