Food, Cooking, Recipes

Since the beginning of time, man has been finessing his cooking skills by using the heat of a direct flame. These days the modern form of the barbecue is to add some sauce, baste the meat and slow cook it for around 5-6 hours at a low temperature of approx. 200 degrees using wood or charcoal beads.

These days when you head out to a barbie with friends, you automatically think of a big juicy steak or a mustard covered hot dog. Irrespective of what attracts you to a barbecue, it remains a popular American tradition. Barbecues remain a strong part of the American social fabric and will continue to do so for many years to come.

And while there is no doubt that American’s love a barbecue there is some doubt as to where the barbecue actually originated. Many states including Texas, Virginia, the Carolinas and even Georgia all have their own definitions and even claims to some part of barbecue history.
