Regardless of how you spell it, my
passion is having a good time cooking &
barbecuing. I hope by being here that
means cooking & barbecuing is one of
yours too!

So I have gotten together a lot of useful
information on the stuff that makes it
happen - use it to make a barbecue for
you and yours!

You can learn the ingredients of a great
barbeque!

Great barbecuers are not born, they are
made - you do not have to have fancy
equipment and secret recipes - great
barbecuing is a learning experience that
is easy to do!

Barbecuing is a simple event that can
create a powerful impression!

You can make lasting memories for
friends, family and use a barbecue to
make a connection that makes a
difference in someone's life - make the
barbecue happen!

The best ingredients are friends!

What's the use of making the world's
best ribs - well, the second best anyway
- if no one is there to eat them?

Surround yourself with friends and family
when you barbecue, teach them and
learn from them, you will never regret it!

Use fresh ingredients whenever
possible!

Whether it is new food or new friends at
the barbeque, don't be afraid to try new
stuff - we'll give you our opinion on some
of it, such as:

  • The Cooker - using a grill, a
    ceramic cooker or a smoker?
    See what I think the advantages
    of one over the other are in the
    'hardware' section.
  • The Fuel - are you going to use
    gas, charcoal or wood - or a
    combination? See what I like to
    use in the 'software' section.
  • The Method - how are you going
    to do it? Perhaps my most
    cherished advice is contained
    here in the section I call 'the
    code'.
Life is short, make the most of it!

That applies to everything, not just
cooking food on a grill or smoker. Find
some things you love and people you
can share it with!
Stretch yourself to
include some new friends or kids who
may not have the opportunity to have
such an experience on their own!

This site has some things I love!

Whether you are searching for a new
family dinner or a tweak to an old
favorite, are a new barbeque chef in the
making or one that smokes every
weekend, I aim to have something you
will find useful. Check out some of my
ideas on:

Keep it Simple!

This is not rocket surgery, or a life or
death contest - this is barbecuing made
into a pleasurable experience with
friends and family.

I may end up with some stuff for the hard
core barbecuer, but the vast majority of
this barbecue information is easy to do.

If this one could
talk we are sure it
has learned to say
"These are the
best ribs I have
ever had..."

A great smoker,
this variation that
burns charcoal
and wood has
become hard to
find - let me know
if you get a lead on
one, I would surely
like to have
another!
The Creed:

If you're lookin', you ain't

If you're lookin', you ain't cookin' !

Outdoor cookers the world over know the literal meaning of this old saying - you open the door, the heat's no more.
So trust what you're doing and let the food cook!

But if you take it one philosophical step further it applies to our lives as well - don't stand on the sidelines looking in,
watching someone else do something, waiting for something to happen to you.

Barbeque or barbecue, pork or beef, charcoal or gas, smoker or grill, the fun is had in the journey.
The food you make is the proverbial icing on the cake.

So take the plunge, we hope you like it as much as we do! As Delmar said in one of my all-time favorite movies,
'O' Brother, Where Art Thou?',

"Come on in boys, the water's fine!"
It's not just a meal, it's an EXPERIENCE!
This is one of our first "Qpinion"s - our opinion on something that affects the barbecue, or "Q". You'll find them sprinkled
throughout the site. For this first one, we did not invent this phrase, but we do like to use it!
