Barbecue may not have been invented in the American South, but
Southerners have worked hard to perfect it. In a relentless pursuit of
the tenderest pork, chicken, and beef, generations of hardworking
Southerners have tended coals, adjusted smokers, and stewarded the meat
to its perfect state. These humble folks started with the simplest
ingredients on earth--meat and fire--and added rubs, sauces, and smoke
to the mix as time went on, elevating it to an art.
Whether charcoal, gas, or wood burning, our backyard grills and barbecue
pits offer endless options for culinary delight beyond traditional
barbecue. Kebabs, steaks, hamburgers, seafood, and more benefit from
high-heat direct cooking, and low-and-slow marathon sessions. Renowned
pitmasters from around the South dish on the nuances of their styles and
offer tips on coaxing the most flavor out of your 'cue. From blending
woods to create a signature flavor to nitty gritty details about rubs
and sauces, they've got you covered. Lone Star brisket, Memphis ribs,
Carolina pulled pork, and Alabama smoked chicken and white sauce are
just the beginning.
Southern BBQ & Grilling offers more than 100 thoroughly tested
recipes, including a wealth of outdoor-inspired cocktails, fixin's,
desserts, and tools to get the job done in style. Fire up your grill,
gather the family, and get ready for some of the best barbecue you have
ever had.
