Skillet Pineapple Upside Down Cake goes tailgating. On our Green Mountain Grills Davy Crockett Tailgater, you can do everything from soup to dessert. We love this grill for camping and tailgating because it does the job of a big grill in a small easy to use size. Even under 5’ tall Patti can lift it! We put most of this cake together in one…
Chili Crusted Tri Tip had big beef flavor covered in a zippy, chili peppery crust. With a "Kiss of Smoke" from GMG's Gold Blend Pellets, a perfect compliment for big beef.

The pork loin was delicious, easy because you can put it together…
