A few weeks ago a fellow member of the BBQ Brethren asked on the forum if any one had ever tried Todd’s Dirt. They wanted to know if someone could make any type of recommendation. No one could.

Finding the time to grill something has been a challenge, but tonight I stopped at Costco on my way home from work and picked up some Tri-Tip steaks. My mom is in town and I needed to do a little cooking for her.

They had some three and four pound chuck roasts and the price was pretty competitive. I inquired about the case price and since it was over a dollar a pound cheaper I bought 53 pounds of chuck roasts.
