Default BBQ... The real thing

I'm going to quote myself here


"Forget all you folks who think throwing meat on a grill at a little house party is BBQ.

If the meat hasn't had a dry rub put on it, followed by hours of precious slow cooking (in a smoker of course), basted and then blasted with some good bbq sauce after it's finished... Then it isn't BBQ."

And without further ado, straight from kansas city, I give you-

Figuratively, of course!

Blake, I will likely be visiting KC this summer, so hopefully we can finally have a herf together.

BBQ without a smoker isn't real BBQ.

Can't disagree with you there

Everything else is "just grilling"

agreed, without smoking low and slow, it is just grilling, but don't know anyone who would argue that

I have done briskets on my WSM for the past two weekends. I'm just getting into it, bur it has been a blast so far. People are amazed (and so am I) by what I can put out. It's also a great excuse to stand around and have a smoke.

WSM user as well. You will be surprised at the quantity and quality of BBQ you can produce now.

Let's be honest. Does any city/states BBQ suck? I mean SPECIFIC people might make some bad BBQ themselves, but for the most part ALL BBQ is awesome.

BBQ is awesome. But I've got to represent my hometown stripes. KC is often referred to as the bbq capital of the world, and for good reason... I love me some good bbq. Kansas city wouldn't be nearly as exciting without all the awesome joints we have here.

I can't say which region sports the best Q, but KC serves up some pretty good stuff.

I got a smoker this summer, and the first time smoking anything I was cooking for 50+ people for my Aunt's birthday (no pressure) made baby backs and brisket. it was a lot of work but a lot of fun. we are thinking about having a competition this summer, just for fun of course with family and friends.

just like cigars, taste is a matter of preference and is subjective, no one is wrong.

Ahh, but the arguments will always be waged. Everyone has their favorite.. I know I do.

Anyhow, one thing that can't be disputed about bbq is that it must be done low and slow. No exceptions.

I have lived here in and around Atlanta my whole life and there is nothing but sweet Georgia Peaches, all the ho's are transplants.

As far as bbq I am a fan of almost all styles myself. The best, imho, coming out of Eastern NC, KC, and Memphis. Recently though in Atlanta (actually Marietta) a new bbq resturant called Sam and Dave's opened that really is some of the finest pulled pork I have ever eaten.

Wow,,,I live in Atlanta ( suburb more like ) and am used to great KC BBQ as I lived there and about 10 other cities in the country. I have eatin BBQ in this city and so far not one even competes with what real BBQ is. Sonnys sucks,,Smokey Bones is not bad,,,and all the others are horrible here. I have not tried Sam and Daves and that gives me hope,,,what is the best thing on the menu in your opinion? I would give my left testicle for some great BBQ in this town,,,the testicle will be given to a donor on my demise just to clarify the deal.
