It’s time to get that BBQ out as I look at 10 of the best charcoal barbecues from kettle BBQ models to open brazier BBQs for that incomparable chargrilled taste I recently tested the best gas BBQ’s where I put the latest Char-Broil Advantage Series 345S Gas BBQ to the test. Interestingly, the BBQ ribs and chicken that came off this BBQ cooked could have been mistaken for coming off a charcoal BBQ once I…
Over the years, I have used many different kinds of strimmers and I really love this McCulloch TrimMac 25cc Petrol Grass Strimmer, especially how lightweight it is for a petrol strimmer, it might actually be the lightest petrol strimmer you can buy or at least I never used a lighter model. When it comes to cordless tools, I have also loved using this Black + Decker 36v Cordless Strimmer which is probably just as good…
If mixing, beating and kneading your batters and doughs has built up the muscles in just one of your arms, you need an electric stand mixer.

My Best Moss killer for Lawns review looks at the pros and cons of each of the products I present and discuss the best features of each, some of them do more than just kill the moss, in fact, they pretty much all do by the very nature. I also recommend in which situations to use each product because some are easier to use to help avoid burning your lawn, which is a common mistake…
Make popcorn the healthy snack it can be by popping your own corn at home. Whether you use a popper bowl in the microwave or an electric popping machine like I do, you can add whatever oil, butter and seasonings (or none) to suit your lifestyle and eating habits. I’ll be honest, I like to pile on the sweet frosted popcorn sugar mix by GOLD MEDAL and mix it with my MacCorns USA Popping Corn…

Also known as combination/combi microwaves, these cooking appliances come with handy pre-programmed settings, may let you choose a sequence of cooking modes and times, and combine cooking modes to produce awesome jacket potatoes. This review looks at the pros, cons and features of five different convection microwave models and gives a recommendation for each one.…
