Mmmmm BBQ

I know someone posted this not to long ago but it's worth repeating.

BBQ ? Grilling

Grilling is a cooking method which utilizes very high temperatures and very short cooking times. Food is cooked using direct heat, meaning, the food is placed directly above the heat source. Some people like to use charcoal or propane as a heart source but the food won?t be there long enough to really absorb any flavors so the heat source isn?t really important. You can grill with an electric heat source as well, and a lot of people do. Smoke is not required for grilling.

Barbecuing (BBQing) is a cooking method which utilizes relatively low temperatures and very long cooking times. Food is cooked using indirect heat, meaning, the food is placed next to the heat source but isn?t receiving any direct heat. Smoke is required in the form of a hard wood like cherry for example. If you don?t have smoke and low, indirect heat, you aren?t barbecuing.

So why all the fuss? Backyard grilling and barbecuing are important cultural traditions in America and they deserve to be identified correctly.

BAN!

We had a heated two page thread on this already, and it was determined that anyone anal enough to make a distinction between grilling and BBQ is a fat obnoxious lout wearing an unbuttoned pink Hawaiian shirt four sizes too large, khaki shorts two sizes too small, and whatever the most out of style horrible sandals are available, who'd come over to haunt your grill like it's a water cooler while telling you how to run it, and slurping down half of the beer.

BBQ equals ANY of the following, cooking food OUTSIDE, flavored powder put on potato chips, or tangy tomato-pepper sauce.

Grilling equals a tough series of questions asked by a guy with a nose which you can not tell whether it is crooked or flat.

Cherry Wood for smoke? Fail - too tart/acidic.

That's because it's turkey.

BBQ is really only Pork. Everything else is not technically Bar-B-Que.

I've used a mix of hickory and cherry with ribs when I couldn't get my hands on any apple, and it was still good

[shocksyde]

I'll continue to call grilled meat "BBQ" and enjoy the high-and-mighty jerkoff's suffering in the process.

 

[joutlaw]

Typically when I cook ribs or pork shoulder... I call it smoking. I smoked a shoulder on Sunday. I put it on at 7AM and took it off at 7PM. The temperature stayed around 225-250F the entire time and when I removed the bone... it completely feel apart.

I use a Brinkman Pitmaster. It does ok, but I'm looking for an upgrade to something that seals better to help heatwaste and more consistent temperatures.

I asked this earlier in my thread but I don't think anyone saw it (or cared )

Are there any good online sources (read cheap) for lump charcoal/wood chips? I can't seem to find anything locally (woodbridge, va).

Yeah I was going to mention brisket. Living in NC, I cook a lot of pork BBQ (or "pulled pork" as some folks call it). But I will do a brisket every so often. They just take all damn day to cook if you want to cook enough to have a good amount of meat.

Preferred woods are usually hickory, oak or applewood. I have tried mesquite with normal grilling (steaks). Not too bad, but nothing special.
