My Privacy Promise
AmazingRibs, Inc. promises to never sell or distribute any info about you individually without your express permission, and I promise not to, ahem, pepper you with email or make you eat spam.
Third party services
Like most websites, this one uses third party services to help it operate. Their businesses depend on their ability to adhere to the highest privacy and security standards, but I cannot be responsible for errors or negligence on the part of third party services.
Website hosting. AmazingRibs.com lives on a computer owned by Digital Forest, a reputable website hosting service that uses industry-standard security safeguards. The host is not authorized to use any information you provide under any circumstances.
Newsletter. I publish a free email newsletter named Smoke Signals with the help of an email service provider, Constant Contact. You may cancel your subscription at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of every newsletter. They collect your email address and are not authorized to use it for any purpose. They are an industry leader and are widely respected for their integrity. If they cheated and spammed people they would be out of business in a hurry.
If you choose to use our newsletter's referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend's email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. We use this for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
Comments. The ability for readers to comment on the content of this site is provided by JS-Kit's Echo service. They promise to keep your info confidential on this page. It is possible I might change services or technical difficulties will cause the loss of some or all comments.
AmazingRibs.com products. I have some humorous aprons, T-shirts and other fun tsotchkes available for sale through a service called CafePress. If you purchase a product or service from them, they request information on their order form such as name, email, shipping address, credit card info, etc. They use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If they have trouble processing an order, they will use this information to contact you. That's all.
Surveys or Contests. From time-to-time I may offer contests or surveys. Participation is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose any information. Unless otherwise noted, this info is used strictly for the contest or survey. I may use a third party service to conduct these surveys or contests and that company is prohibited from using personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
Links to other websites
AmazingRibs.com contains links to other web sites. The links on the editorial portion of all these pages were selected by me personally. I always exercise care when selecting web sites with which to link.
Once you leave my site through a link to another site, I can not be responsible for the content of that site and you are subject to the privacy policy of that site. But you knew that, right?
Disclaimers and limitations
The information on this website is for educational purposes only. All material within comes without warranties of any kind. I am human, and capable of mistakes, so I make no guarantees of the accuracy, completeness, or safety of the information. Under no circumstances am I liable for any damages that result from use of the site (so you can't sue me if you burn your tongue on hot ribs, or get a tummy ache, OK?). You should follow USDA recommended minimum cooking temperatures at all times. For more info, visit FoodSafety.gov.
Please note that your information may be transferred if there is a sale, merger, transfer, exchange, or other disposition of AmazingRibs.com, but I really can't imagine this ever happening.
I reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time. If you have any questions or comments, click here to contact me.

Read this before posting a comment please:
1) If you are looking for info, please use the table of contents or the search box, at the top of every page.
2) Don't ask me any questions that involve temp or time unless you tell me that you are using a digital thermometer! Bi-metal 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 I can't help you. If you are still using a dial thermometer, please read this article about thermometers, then buy a good digital, and then, if the problem persists (chances are it won't), hit me with your questions. Then, please tell me everything I need to know to answer your question. Like the type of cooker you are using. Remember, I am not a mind reader.
3) Please don't ask me "What grill (or smoker) should I buy?" Read my Buyer's Guides and the buying checklists and follow the links. I've shared just about everything I know. Pay attention to the awards I have given my faves. I cannot pick the right cooker for you any more than I could pick the right car or spouse for you.
4) If you have problems posting with Internet Explorer, please read this. If problems persist, send me a note.

Our philosophy about food is simple. First of all it must taste great. It must be easy to make and emphasize fresh seasonal products with a minimum of processed ingredients.

 About Product Reviews and Best in BBQ Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals are highly recommended products. Awards are based on features, quality, and value. Rest assured that when we recommend a product, it is really because we like it, not because someone has paid us to say so or because the company is an advertiser or sponsor. We purchase most products we review although occasionally suppliers send us samples. We have always been transparent about when we are reviewing a product sample, even before the Federal Trade Commission Required it in 2009.

This link takes you to Amazon and tags anything you buy with a code so I get a referral fee. It works on anything from grills to diapers and it has zero impact on the price you pay. The best reasons to buy from Amazon are low prices, fast often free delivery, fair return policies, and often there is no sales tax.

AmazingRibs.com Best in BBQ Gold Medal Winners
Here are three great products that have earned The AmazingRibs.com Best in BBQ Gold Medals. These are not ads!
GrillGrates Take You To The Infrared Zone
GrillGrates are the best new product I have tested in years and the best thing to happen to beef since salt and pepper. The base superheats, eliminates hot spots, and blocks flareups. This is the concept behind the expensive new infrared grills. A must for gas grills. Click here for more about GrillGrates.
The Smokenator: A Necessity For Weber Kettles
If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the amazing Smokenator and Hovergrill. The Smokenator turns your grill into a first class smoker, and the Hovergrill can add capacity or be used to create steakhouse steaks. Click here to read more.
ThermoWorks Pocket Thermometer - No More Guessing
A good thermometer is why I never serve overcooked or undercooked food. This one has a very thin tip with a tiny thermocouple so it gives an accurate reading in just six seconds. I cannot recommend it more highly. It will improve your cooking overnight and pay for itself in a hurry. And it is inexpensive. Click here for more about thermometers.
