Posted: 5/27/2012 7:04:55 AM | | Back in 2004 I was able to purchase an entire bison for the meat. Some of the steaks were absolutely incredible on the barbecue. You have to keep bison rare,which is no stretch for my family. I've never had even the best cut of beef compare to the worst cut of bison. | |

Posted: 6/1/2012 5:25:38 PM | The BEST thing I ever BBQ'd?
That is going to be hard, I am sure I could say 100 things.
I LOVE ANY MEAT best on the grill or smoked, hands down, the best over any other method of cooking.
However, because it is less usual (more modern) I guess the most memorable are the things like veggies and fruits.
Grilled pineapple, peaches, nectarines, plums, banana are outstanding. I also love grilled any vegetable that will stand up to the grilling and whole heads of escarole with a balsamic vinaigrette and chunks of bleu cheese or Romano cheese shavings over it, right off the grill, is definitely memorable.
Though, every summer I think a lot about grilled hot chili's, peppers of all kinds, and crustaceans, most of all.
Grilling whole HOT chili's then drizzling with a high quality extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil with a good finishing salt and a squeeze of citrus, and maybe cotijo cheese or a shot of mescal, is AMAZING. Grilled Shrimp, King Crab Legs, or Lobster with lots of spice is also mind blowing. Those are the most memorable for me, I guess.

Posted: 6/2/2012 11:25:16 AM | it's amazing how so many people don't know the difference between bbq and grilling yet they can figure out that frying and boiling are different. lol.

Posted: 6/2/2012 11:49:24 AM | First time I heard someone say they BBQ'ed a ribeye......I asked them why the hell they went and ruined a good ribeye with BBQ sauce!!
I think it depends on where you live on what you call it......
but I'm not so dense I didn't understand what Caddy was talking about in his opening post!!
just like some people call it soda, some call it pop and some call it Coke.......it doesn't make any of them wrong!!
(other than those that call it a Coke and have a Sprite, that one will forever confuse me!!)
anyhoo......
I grilled a basket of yellow squash, zuchinni, egg plant, garlic, onions and peppers last night........
tossed them in with some cooked pasta and a can of stewed tomatoes ....mmm mmmmm!
(I used canned tomatos because so far I haven't seen any good ones in the stores here yet......but mine are growing nicely in the garden......so soon I'll have good fresh ones) | |

There is no official definition for smoked meat, however...
thefreedictionary.com/smoked
Adj. 1. smoked - (used especially of meats and fish) dried and cured by hanging in wood smoke
smoke-cured, smoke-dried
preserved - prevented from decaying or spoiling and prepared for future use
Wikipedia
Smoking of meat and fish has been practiced for ages. Indigenous cultures around the world may have used smoke during the drying of fish to drive away the flies. They soon found that the absorbed smoke acted as a preservative. Perhaps the most famous "smokers of meat" were the Caribbean natives who smoked it on a rack over a smoky fire, a setup they called "barbacoa" (one possible etymological origin of barbecue).
Pastrami - smoked brisket
Famous among early smokers of meat are the Ashkenazi Jewish communities in Europe
Southern BBQ brisket
Smoke meats from the southern United States, also known as Barbecue or BBQ were developed to use the "cheaper" cuts of meats, as they were typically tough and deemed "undesirable". The "low and slow" cooking methods tenderized the connective tissues in the meat made these cuts a sought after delicacy . Usually done in a "low temp" environment (200 °F to 300 °F) (93 °C to 149 °C), they take a significant amount of time to prepare, which breaks down the connective tissues and collagens within the meat, and renders out of the fat. A sub-category is the plethora of sauces and "mops" that are used to flavor and further tenderize the meats. BBQ has become a culinary art form, and hundreds of competitions are held yearly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is easy to see why everyone has their own definition and use their own verbiage.
Personally, I tend to think of smoking as BBQ (indirect fire, low temp, lots of smoke) and then the other method is Grilling (hot flame or coals with meat on a grate), but officially, that is incorrect. So I just try to go with what I think the conversation is going. Why start an argument and get people all riled up...seems childish especially when it is not officially supported.
I have seen this argument MANY times and one of the first things I learned is that BBQ SAUCE has no impact whatsoever on either way of thinking. Master Meat Smokers never slather, baste, or brush their meat with sauce or even serve sauce unless asked.
Caddyman started a nice thread, let us all just go with it.

Posted: 6/2/2012 5:43:50 PM | Same goes for "having a BBQ" or "having a cookout". Either way, people are going to gather to cook food outdoors on a grill and/or a fire.
So caddyman, I did search but couldn't find that pineapple BBQ sauce recipe. Any chance you could post it again here? Pweeeeeeeeeeeese??? :) | |

just like some people call it soda, some call it pop and some call it Coke.......it doesn't make any of them wrong!!
actually it does. a pop and a soda are the same thing. bbq and grilling while similar, are not the same.
bbq is done with low indirect heat. grilling is with high direct heat. you don't grill a whole pig and you don't bbq a 12 oz tbone.

Posted: 6/3/2012 11:37:25 AM | I'm so confused :( Hopefully I can still post without getting bashed.
I made a pizza on my grill, crust was from scratch. It was divine, a little tricky to get the temp right though.
The temp was too high once and the crust burned but the rest of it wasn't done.
Grilled pineapple slices are so easy and so yummy...the natural juices in the fruit are amazing once cooked. | |

Posted: 6/3/2012 11:45:19 AM | | my pineapple BBQ sauce is varies depending on what I have in the kitchen. But, I start with a large can of pineapple juice. Reduce the juice to a syrup. Then I add a large can of tomato juice with some ketcup and brown sugar. then I add some worcestershire,chili powder,cumin,thyme,paprika,mollassas,salt,pepper,dry mustard. simmer for 20 min. But, you can twist the recipe to your liking. sometimes I will add some red curry paste and some sesame oil to give it an asian flavor. | |

do you have a pizza stone? try that if you haven't already. pizza can take a high heat. traditional wood burning pizza ovens reach 750 degrees and higher.
i do pizza on my propane grill with the stone in the summertime. put the stone on the grate right after you light the grill so it heats up. get your temp up to around 400-425 and put the pizza straight onto the stone. check in ten mins. might be done by then.
i didn't think i'd like pizza done on the grill for some reason. no idea why. i wish i would have tried it sooner. it's just as good as oven baked.
