Lamb Barbecue With an Ancient Twist

I have never tried this method of cooking, but sounds very interesting. Anything that goes back to the roots of smoking meat sounds like a winner. This is a method that I will definitely be tyring out later this summer.

Cola Barbecue Sauce

Any barbecue sauce that includes chipotle Tabasco sounds like a winner to me. I will be giving this sauce a taste this weekend. Might be a little too sweet for my crew, but with a strong memphis style rub, the sweetness might be a great compliment. Definitely go with the Chipotle Tabasco as opposed to the Liquid Smoke.

Great Barbecue and Grilling Tips

Although I am a purist and grilling is different than cooking barbecue, these are some great tips to get your summer started off. Gas grills have their place, but there is nothing like using charcaol and if you have never tried it, get of the briquettes and go with real hardwood lump charcoal.

Barbecue Pork Spareribs – With or Without the Skin?

The debate ebbs on as to whether or not to remove the skin from pork spareribs before throwing them onto the barbecue smoker. You will find true barbecue enthusiasts on both sides of the argument. In my personal opinion, when turning in spareribs at a barbecue competition, I always remove the skin. When cooking at home for the family, the skin stays on to get that nice crunch.
