Tell us, just what is barbecue?
Ed Pawlowski– There are many interpretations of the term ‘barbecue’ in the world. Some people use it to describe a social gathering and cooking outdoors. Others use it to describe grilling food. For our purpose here, we are using the term to describe meat, slow cooked, using wood smoke to add flavor. There is equipment designed just for this type of cooking. Barbecue is not grilling. Grilling is cooking over direct heat, usually a hot fire to sear the outside of the meat. Barbecue is cooking by using indirect heat and cooking low and slow. The smoke from the wood gives barbecue its unique and delicious flavor.
