The must have book for anyone who is about that BBQ!!!

There are some tips on smoking methods also. Toward the back of the book is also a calendar with various BBQ events that you may be interested in attending.

The Smoking Gun Handheld Food Smoker From PolyScience

So I saw this on Amazon.com and thought it was very interesting. The reviews seem to be fairly honest. It looks like it is a small hair dryer you that blows out smoke after lighting your favorite type of wood chips on fire. Seems like some people enjoy it but say that they wish it was a bit stronger in blowing out the smoke. Has anyone ever seen this or tried it? I am just curious. I myself will just stick with my UDS and other smokers for the moment. Plus it seems like it would take a while to use a blow dryer on a brisket lol. Neat invention though.

Rambo is about that Beef!!!

So here is a great commercial I saw today on Youtube. Never seen it before but it is amusing. Kind of a lot of sauce on that steak but to each his own lol. Enjoy

The Science of BBQ!!!

BBQ with Franklin: Brisket Wrap Test

What BBQ means to me.

I have wanted to write this for quite some time. I have been asked why I like BBQ so much by many people. This question got me to thinking of all the things that I do love about Q. My first memories of BBQ are when my dad used to grill with his brother over in Clovis, NM. We would visit my uncles almost every weekend. My dad and Mario would start the grill and pop a top on a cold beer. Me my brother and all my cousins would run around playing. I remember the smell of the meat. Once it was done we would all eat and then go play again. The parents would all sit around and talk about whatever it is they talked about. Those were great times and great memories. 

Now many years later I find myself carrying on the tradition. I get together with my family and friends and we grill and have fun while the kids play. So what does BBQ mean to me? BBQ means a gathering of family and friends to consume grilled and smoked meat while enjoying each others company, creating memories that are unforgettable. I Love my family and friends and I Love "Q"!
