With Labor Day right around the corner and being that this is Texas, what would a post be if it weren’t barbeque related?  Now, this entry will be short and sweet and have a clear and concise point. I will define the true meaning of barbeque for you, so there is never any confusion of what this perfect cooking style actually is.

First, and most importantly, barbequing must involve meat. You cannot barbeque a rack of zucchini or a head of broccoli. Just can’t be done. If you want to participate in the ritual of barbequing I would highly recommend it, but don’t get your greens near the grill or the smoker.

Second – and this is where many folks go wrong – don’t call it barbequing when you’re actually grilling. Grilling is the process of quickly cooking meat, fish, or veggies over high heat. So this would be your burgers, dogs, even a nice sirloin strip. Barbequing, however, is the “low and slow” method of creating perfection. Brisket, ribs, game, poultry, pulled pork – a few examples of meats you might want to toss in your smoker this weekend. If you are unsure of how to do it or you’re looking for a good recipe, visit http://www.smoker-cooking.com/ for more info on real-deal barbequing.
