This site is dedicated to showing you the basics of barbecue and allows you to take your barbecue skills to the next level.

As an authority site and cooking school, we try to educate and get you information about barbecue that you might not get anywhere else. Here are the sections that you might find interesting.

 Styles

You probably have heard of Kansas City or Texas barbecue, but there are two other styles, and the main reason so many people like barbecue. Check out this section to show how intelligent you are at your next barbecue party.

Basics

If you are new to barbecue, then check out the basics. This will give you the foundation needed to fully enjoy the barbecue experience. Also, in these sections, we will cover the essential products we highly recommend. These include gloves, thermometers, foil, and other requirements to successfully cook on a grill or smoker.

Recipes

Have you ever tried and watched a recipe video while barbecuing? Another thing that made me crazy was trying to find a recipe that I could actually use. When trying to print out the recipe only to have half the page be full of ads or take 10 pages because it is not formatted correctly.

All of the recipes on this site are formatted to be easily read, and all have a PDF version that can be printed and read while cooking. It also works very well with a tablet if you have a stand to hold it. One recommendation is not to use your phone for this. Fire and phones do not mix.

We also went out of our way to document recipes you might not find on other sites. Like Johnny Trigg’s famous method for ribs recipe or Myron Mixon cupcake pan chicken recipe.

 Blog

We have articles and posts that are just about everything barbecue. How to use cooking utensils, using wine, preparing fish for storage, cooking outdoors in the winter, design an outdoor BBQ kitchen and more.

 Products

Need a new barbecue or just a pair of BBQ gloves? What about everything else you might need to make your barbecuing the best experience possible. All items have been researched and, in many cases, personally used by us. We offer links to all products through Amazon so you can see the reviews and do your comparison.

 Books

barbecue books are now making the New York Times best-selling list. Also, they are more than just cookbooks. My collection grows every month, and if you enjoy cooking barbecue or just want to know more about this cooking art, these books will do the trick. So you know, if I did not like the book, I would not list it.
