What Have We Been Doing?

Ok, it's been a while since we updated you on all our projects, so here we go!

First of all, if you haven't heard, we are donating all of the proceeds in the month of July from our Google Ads to American Spirit BBQ. If you aren't familiar with ASBBQ, they cook BBQ for various military groups as a way of saying "Thank You!" to our troops for their service to our country. So far this year, they have cooked for a number of units, and they have 10 more events planned just through the middle of September! We have documented their efforts in an earlier post to this Whizlong so we hope you will consider taking this pain-free way of donating to their efforts. Just click on the ads at the bottom of our webpages and the money generated in July will go to ASBBQ. So far, we have raised about $130 which will feed about 120 people at one of these events.

So, on to what else is happening. We are currently juggling several projects that we need to finish up and get published:

1. Charcos Coconut Charcoal Review We have completed all the work necessary and are in the midst of writing up the review, so keep an eye out for this!
   
2. Damp Charcoal, Myth or Fact? This started as a small discussion on the Big Green Egg Forum. Will leaving charcoal out in high humidity make it damp and therefore hard to light or hard to get up to high temperatures? We will answer this question pretty definitively. We ended our data collection yesterday, and now need to do the analysis and write the web page up.
   
3. Bincho Charcoal We are playing around with samples of this expensive commodity. We started by delving into some safety issues. Eventually we plan to do most of what we normally do for a review in order to help you decide if you want to use this type of charcoal. This is a long term project, but one worth doing, we feel.
   

We suppose you aren't interested in spraying weeds or scrubbing the algae off of the brick walk in front of our front door, but these vital tasks must be performed in order keep the Naked Whiz Publishing Empire running!

And we almost forgot! We are working a project so big, so incredible, so stunning, we can't tell you what it is. We are taking our time so that we get this right. Or at least as right as we can get it. We plan a big announcement party when the time is right, so don't be surprised if you see something really wild and crazy when you visit our web pages in the next couple of months!
