For
the Novice and the not so Novice!
(it's worth hearing again, or in this case
reading again)
Barbecue
is an ancient form of cooking that involved low and slow cooking temperatures
and smoke. This combination turns the worst cuts of meat
into the greatest of
feasts. Learning the basics of barbecue and smoke cooking and soon you will be piling up briskets,
pork shoulders and ribs into your
smoker to feed the neighborhood. There is a culture
and a community of barbecue so you need to get out there and find out what it's all about
and
taste the best food in the world. Low and slow traditional barbecue cook can be a challenge to those
raised
on hot and fast, but once you master the basics of fire, meat and smoke you
won't have any trouble. Learn to control your temperature, infuse
smoke and make some truly
great barbecue. Once you have this mastered you will be ready to smoke fish, cheese,
jerky and anything
else you can think of. Barbecue Beef Brisket is one of the oldest traditions of
barbecue. This tough, miserable piece of meat can only be turned into
something delicious
through by slow smoking it. It takes hours of precision temperature control to make this meat
tender and
flavorful. From the first barbecue rub to the finishing sauce you need to
coordinate flavors, tend fires and most of all be patient to make
great barbecue brisket.
From whole hogs to Boston butts, pork is the cornerstone of barbecue. This pulled (or shredded)
pork is a
favorite throughout the south and probably the purest form of true barbecue.
Mastering the flavors from the rubs to the sauces is only part of the
secret to great pork
barbecue. You have to know smoke and be patient enough to let this pork cook until it
falls apart.
Ribs are the most popular barbecue food in the world. Unfortunately most people (and particularly most restaurants) don't know how to make them great.
Good ribs
should be tender and flavorful, but still chew like meat and taste like pork (unless
you want beef ribs). Mastering the secrets of
smoke, patience and rubs is the only true path to great
barbecue ribs. Chickens, Turkey and all sort of poultry make great barbecue.
Barbecue chicken
is one of the most common dishes in barbecue restaurants and a category in barbecue
competitions. Poultry is also one of the easiest
meats to smoke because it is very forgiving.
Master the basics with chicken and you won't be wasting racks of ribs as you learn about True
Barbecue. Barbecue Sauces come in a wide range of flavors and types, well beyond the thick, sticky
store bought sauces. From thin and spicy
vinegar sauces to thick sweet tomato sauces,
barbecue sauce can save a meal, top a burger or make your smoked meats perfect. Spices are
vitally
important to good barbecue. Since most foods are basically dry roasted you can't
let the sauce be the source of flavor. You need to add herbs
and spices directly to the
meat. This form of seasoning is known as a rub (or barbecue rub). You apply these mixtures
of
seasonings to the meat and "rub" it into the surface. This insures
that it will stay right where you need it. From the BBQ Joints to the Competitions
there is a whole world of
barbecue out there. Once the bug bites you, you too will seek out Associations and Societies
to join so you
too can share in the world and culture of barbecue.
