Raichlen is a Drumhead

A picture from his blog with a Barbecue U class confirms it.

Yeah, I seem to remember Rocky sending him a BDS to evaluate...

I can't watch his show. He has the drum, the wsm and a bandera going in the background but he never uses them.

notice which is one he prefers to lean on though

I'm thinking low n slow is not all that condusive to tv... can you just see him starting out as a clean shaven well dressed kind of guy and finishing as a grubby faced soot covered neanderthal.... (not that there's anything wrong with that)...

What's a "Drumhead"?

I've never seen his show, but I'll check in on the site now and then. He did write a couple glowing reviews for the Drum and I even got the specs from a BDS user from his forum. I have read other complaints from the BGE forum about him having an Egg in the background but never using it.

The reason he never uses anything in back of him is because he's sponsored by weber. Thats all he cooks on for the show.

That's only becuase he's short and size matters.:twisted: Also, maybe becuase Weber is his main gig.:mrgreen:

I guess I've never watched his show, but I think this photo was from the weekend BBQ classes he puts on at some resort. I did see a show about that. It is something like $2500 a head and he demos a bunch of different cookers and methods. The students get a hands-on feel for grilling and barbecue. Maybe Weber sponsors it too?? I figured it was an independent thing like his books.

I bought my 'brother in law' (well sort of, I'm not married) Raichlin's 'How to Grill' book as he's a Chef in a pub and he want's to switch from English/French style pub food to Grill food but wants to add a US twist to it.

He's loving it and the test tastes he's done have gone down well, he now just needs to get more equipment.

[ApronGuy]

I like the show ... only because I envy having a "grill cam."

One of these days ...

[grillfella]

I am sure steve is a nice guy, but his show is kind of slow. (almost dosed off ) He does have good tips though

[keale]

What network does his show come on? I've only seen the one where he goes to NC, some fancy-dancy wish I could go hotel for the weekend...

[grillfella]

It's public television in LA

[wnkt]

He was on Public TV here too...but now we have Barbecue America on in that time slot on Saturday afternoon.

This is where I scratch my head with raichlen....

Hard to imagine him being a BBQ kind of guy when he is cooking healthy for my grandmother.

[thirdeye]

We got a PBS show a few years back .... the guy was always burning chit while he was talking or working on the cutting board. I don't mean little fires, he would have smoke billowing or these rip a$$ flames going on behind him.
