Barbecueing is an art, and a science..since the begining of man and fire..There has been a passion for roasting meat over a flame. I have traveled to different parts of the world and have learned the different ways of roasting meats. To me it is very cultrual and almost. religious practice. I have seen men and women prepare and cook meats..The love and passion that they put into the meat is a religious and spiritual experience.

In America we have a deep zeal for barbecue! It is the American way! We do things different and we put our own stamp on it, proudly! When we have our first Holiday of the spring running into summer everyone breaks out the barbecue and cook until the sun won't shine..lol

Some Americans stick with charcoal and others with wood..Either way is good..But the true and factual way is treating the meat before it hits the fire.

I believe it is bad practice to cook meat that has not been treated before cooking, That is my knowledge and my experience. It is like having a relationship with meat. You have to court it slowly, and then it will give into your flirtations.
