Ever since humans discovered "fire", man has
been grilling and barbequing meat to stay alive!
This primal need is deeply embedded within us.
Thousands of years later, cooking meat over wood
(or charcoal) continues to take place as a daily
ritual in every part of the world. In the U.S., it is
less a need than just a passion for good cooking.
Most people confuse grilling with barbequing.
Grilling takes place over direct fire. It is fast and
hot. Barbequing (smoking) takes place over an
indirect fire, lower temperatures, and takes a much
longer time. "Low and Slow." It is the only way to
cook tough meats like brisket and have them come
out tender and moist. Good barbeque takes time!
