True Barbecue

OK guys. I'm a fairly shitty kitchen cook, but I barbecue almost every weekend and have been known to make a mean rack of spareribs. This makes me a certified barbecue expert. Yes it does. Don't question my logic.

But in all seriousness, what drives your grill? Post any recipes, tips or experiences in the great outdoors world known as your backyards.

If there's enough barbecue recipes posted, I may even start updating this post with a recipe index. I'll post a good recipe for ribs later on tonight when I dig it out of my email.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh god yes, there's a difference. I grill all the time. But every once in a while, you just HAVE to go all out and take your time in making the food taste above the norm. We call that barbecueing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

A good barbecue recipe will include the type of wood used, of which the most common is hickory.

I'm looking through my archives right now and I'm looking for the recipe for these awesome smoked cinammon ribs that we made a while back. i'll post it when I find it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Actually, yes. I use Tecate and garlic salt to pour on the hotplate and then wipe it down. Also, I clean the grill using half of an onion and olive oil.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

My uncle does that too. I notice that if we drop tortillas on them to warm them right after we do that, they end up with the SLIGHTEST tinge of zest on them too.

I was speaking idiomatically.
