Plank grilling slows down the grilling, allows foods to soak up some smoke, and makes it easy to grill delicate foods.</p> http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/16/plank-grilling.htm Thu, 16 Feb 2012 02:05:47 +0000 2012-02-16T02:05:47Z http://bbq.about.com/b/2012/02/15/year-of-the-pig-day-4-which-cut-for-pulled-pork.htm <p><img src="http://z.about.com/d/bbq/1/0/i/L/pork_butt_rub_injection.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="8" width="170" height="170" align="right" />You almost only see Boston Butts on the competition circuit (KCBS Rules of course), but that doesn't mean that the Butt is the easiest of best cut to smoke, just the most consistent.

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.
