So, for those of you, serious about smoking pork, what cut do you use for your <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://bbq.about.com/cs/porkpulled/a/aa080400a.htm">Pulled Pork</a>?</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/15/year-of-the-pig-day-4-which-cut-for-pulled-pork.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/15/year-of-the-pig-day-4-which-cut-for-pulled-pork.htm Wed, 15 Feb 2012 02:09:22 +0000 2012-02-15T02:09:22Z http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/14/new-review-hamilton-beach-5-burner-grillstation.htm <p><a href="http://bbq.about.com/od/gasgrillreviews/gr/Hamilton-Beach-5-Burner-Grillstation.htm"><img src="http://0.tqn.com/d/bbq/1/G/V/e/Hamilton_Beach_5_Burner_GrillStation.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="8" width="170" height="170" align="left" /></a>If you have the money and access to the market you can call up a factory in China to build you a gas grill. Yes, it will be generic is construction, quality, and features, but you can stamp your name on it and call it yours. This is what Hamilton Beach has done with this gas grill. While loaded with features, this $500USD gas grill, sold at Sears, is very typical and nothing about it will make it stand out for either quality or performance.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/14/new-review-hamilton-beach-5-burner-grillstation.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/14/new-review-hamilton-beach-5-burner-grillstation.htm Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:49:41 +0000 2012-02-14T02:49:41Z http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/13/nominate-the-best-barbecue-chain.htm <p><img src="http://0.tqn.com/d/bbq/1/6/W/d/readers_choice_2012.png" border="0" alt="" hspace="8" width="170" height="170" align="left" />Barbecue has become big business and several chains of restaurants have started spreading. While some criticize these chain restaurants, they bring in the crowds and provide lots of barbecue to lots of people. So, which barbecue chain is the best. This is your chance to nominate your favorite barbecue chain.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/13/nominate-the-best-barbecue-chain.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/13/nominate-the-best-barbecue-chain.htm Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:10:51 +0000 2012-02-13T02:10:51Z http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/12/romantic-meals.htm <p>Plan ahead, prepare for everything, and then take your meal out to the grill.

Valentine's Day revolves around a small meal for two people. For years I have challenged men to fire up the grill and produce something special for that woman in their lives.</p> http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/11/top-10-valentines-day-recipes.htm Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:32:50 +0000 2012-02-11T02:32:50Z http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/10/nominate-the-best-barbecue-joint.htm <p><img src="http://0.tqn.com/d/bbq/1/6/W/d/readers_choice_2012.png" border="0" alt="" hspace="8" width="170" height="170" align="left" />For decades barbecue joints have been a mainstay of Southern communities. Many of these are still around and remain legend in barbecue. I know that this is bound to create more than a few arguments, but it is time for you to nominate the best barbecue joint.

However, you'd be surprised at what some people use their grills for and what others expect from them. Some people buy a grill because they are having a big party and think it would be a great idea to get one. Many of these people end up giving away (or throwing away) their grill after a use or two. Some people buy a grill to cook everything, everyday. They can get frustrated with their grill for not being versatile enough. Some people buy a grill because they expect it to be an easy and quick way to cook. These people may find grilling harder than they thought or might not keep a close enough eye on what they are doing to get properly prepared food off the grill. Anyway, do you want your grill for Saturday afternoon or <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://bbq.about.com/od/grillinghelp/a/aa022506a.htm">Tuesday evening</a>? Is your grill for a few meat items or for virtually everything you can imagine? Do you buy a grill because you are having a big party or family gathering? Either way you slice it, this weeks question is:</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/08/why-do-you-want-a-grill-for.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/08/why-do-you-want-a-grill-for.htm Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:49:34 +0000 2012-02-08T02:49:34Z http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/07/nominate-the-best-barbecue-rub.htm <p><img src="http://0.tqn.com/d/bbq/1/6/W/d/readers_choice_2012.png" border="0" alt="" hspace="8" width="170" height="170" align="left" />When I first starting writing about barbecue, rubs were still a mystery to many people.
