How To: The Easiest Way to Smoke Food Without a Smoker
There's something primal about the smell of smoking food. Somewhere deep in the recesses of our souls, we remember a time when humans only ate by the fire. Or perhaps that's just something I tell myself. Either way, it's hard to smell smoke and food and not feel like you should be eating. And, as chef Edi Frauneder said in a recent Saveur article, "Grilling is convivial. There's something about this act of coming together over an open flame that just says vacation."

How To: Make Smoked Ice for One-of-a-Kind Cocktails
A long time ago I was reading an issue of Saveur and saw an article about a trendsetting bar in Portland. The bartender at the joint had started making enormous blocks of smoked ice for his cocktails. When a patron ordered a drink that called for the smoked ice, the bartender would chip off a large chunk and place it in a glass with the booze. Then, as the ice slowly melted, the drink would take on more and more smoky notes, and the flavor profile of the beverage would change with every passi...
How To: Global Find & Replace, Undo, & Redo Finally Comes to Android
Make no bones about it—having an "undo" option is a freaking godsend. Whether you accidentally deleted an entire essay, screwed up the shading on a Photoshop job, or sent an email that wasn't quite ready, having the option to undo a click or button-press can definitely be a lifesaver.

How To: Cut a Perfect Bowl Full of Watermelon
Watermelons scream summer like no other fruit, and there's nothing like biting into a sweet one on a hot summer day.

How To: Make the World's Easiest Salad Dressing (No Seeding or Peeling Necessary)
In my family, if a food could be made instead of bought, it was made. It wasn't until I went to college and started eating dorm food that I tasted the store-bought versions of many kitchen staples. I quickly learned that there is an enormous quality difference between homemade dressing and the kind that comes in a bottle at the supermarket.
How To: Remove Camera Restrictions on Your Galaxy S6 for Higher Quality Photos
The Galaxy S6 already has one of the best cameras on the market, but a few minor annoyances still linger.

How To: Build Your Own BBQ Chimney
When I was in college, I invited a girl over for a date.

How To: The Easiest Way to Bookmark Apps & Tabs on Your Android
Using the overview screen (aka recent apps) is a simple way to jump back to a previous task to continue where you left off, but as you use more and more apps, jumping back to that initial task isn't really that "recent" with all of those new tasks stacked on top of it. Now, thanks to developer PhinxApps, we can redefine what "recent" truly means using PinTasking. With this app, you can pin any app or webpage you're currently using onto your device's screen in the form of a Facebook-like chat-...
How To: Make Flavored Sugar Cubes for Coffee, Tea, & Cocktails
One lump or two? That was the age-old question with sugar cubes, which used to be a staple of any tea salon or dignified household this side of Downton Abbey. These days sugar isn't really used in cubes much except in bars and restaurants, and that's a shame.

How To: Use Your iPhone to Sell Unwanted Gadgets Without Ever Leaving Your Home
If you want to sell all of the old electronics lying around your home, it takes a lot of work. If you go the eBay route, you have to take tons of pictures, describe it accurately, wait for a week until someone bids on it (or not), then package it, ship it, and wait for feedback. Craigslist is a little bit easier, but usually requires you driving somewhere to meet the buyer in a public place (if you want to play it safe).
