Food, Wine & Just Good Living With SaucyJoe

It started with a love of food, wine & fun and blossomed into a maddening pursuit of the best recipes, techniques, grills, smokers, wines, crafted beers, rubs, marinades and sauces... We do more than play with our meat though -- we review and discuss all things cooking, drinking, reading, laughing and living at SaucyJoe's.

"Detroit Steel Brings the Big Rigs to a BBQ Event Near You

Ed Note: This is an excerpt from a recent conversation with Quality Grills' Mark BBQ Barlow

Every once in awhile you run into someone more interested in innovating than making a buck. Our recent conversation with Mark "BBQ" Barlow brought us to such a discovery. This guy gets it.

From his towable rigs (a favorite of pros) to his home-use charcoal grills, there's a reason for every design element. High-finish seals, multiple fire boxes, patented custom heat reflectors, stained *& sealed cutting boards, and easy clean-up features... it's all there.

A lot of the design "gee-whiz" comes from Mark's background in the family business, making restaurant equipment, and his insistance on doing it right each time.

"You see these guys welding all sorts of stuff onto half barrels, expecting smoke to magically adhere to meats, and you have to wonder what they're thinking. We've bought and built so many prototypes, we know the engineering behind getting good results every time you grill or smoke." says Barlow.

Barlow says his smaller charcoal grills are basically a labor love due to market conditions. Labor costs and quality control put the grills in the high hundreds, which seems steep for a charcoal grill. Our tests proved it to be worth every penny for the serious griller/smoker.
