Have you ever been to a good restaurant, ordered a nice thick steak, only to have it come to
the table cooked entirely wrong? Unless you send it back and have them start over, it tends
to take the fun out of eating it.
The same principle applies here. You can buy the best baby back ribs in the world and ruin
them by barbecuing them wrong. But when you do it wrong at a barbeque, it is worse than a
restaurant. We'll get to why that is in just a minute.
Whether it is ribs or brisket, shoulder or butt, turkey or fish, pork or beef, there are some
fundamental barbecue techniques that you need to master if you want to have food that
people talk about.
Sure, there are sauces and sides that can enhance a meal, even ones that add special
touch that truly heightens the experience, but the barbeque meat is on center stage, and all
the others are support characters.
So this section is where you may want to spend a little time soaking up the tips and methods
of years of barbecuing, grilling and smoking. Click on any of the links below to go straight to
the section you want more information on.

The Hardware
There are many ways to cook outdoors, from gas grills to hot dogs on a stick over a campfire
(this is always a hit with my boyz!)
We will discuss some of the merits of these various ways of cooking.
Then we will focus some more in depth attention on smoking, my preferred way of
barbecuing.

The Software
