I see what you're saying.

To avoid confusion my buddies and I (we've had this arguement alot) break it down like this:

Grilling=propane/gas cooking
bbq=direct heat using charcoal (grilling but with coals instead of gas)
smoking=indirect heat using wood/hard lump/wood pellets

true true.


my girls fam just introduced me on to smoking...they had me try their smoked chicken and ribs, and my god its was unreal. i ate until i felt like crap.

 

[mrnappy]

Sooooo your "grilling" then. If I hear BBQ there BETTER be some smoked meats.

Its the same thing

naw they not the same i use a bbq pit with charcoal and wood chips 

team no gas over here

If you are grilling with charcoal you MUST pickup a chimney to start your coals. This is the easiest way to get the charcoals going.

You pour you charcoal in and stuff paper in the bottom. Light the paper and in about 10-15 minutes they will be ready and just pour into the grill.

Good luck with that especially if it is windy outside. And if you are using lighter fluid then you are definitely losing because that crap messes up the taste of the food.

Some people will call this cheating but I like the season my ribs and throw them in the oven until they start to get tender and then throw them on the grill to get a char on them. DO NOT BOIL THEM! You will lose good flavor.

Try it and you will be thanking me later.

If you use too much it messes up the food.

can jam

I use the looftlighter - eco friendly and leaves no taste. It's like a vaporizer for bbqs.

That's how I usually do them, (no boil) but today I want to try the indirect heat on the grill, slow cook technique.

I really just need a smoker though.

coals nowadays you dont have to use lighter fluid right?

Matchlight, but I got that pyramid technique down so I just save that extra dollar....

Plus, I just like showing off...

 

[swendro]

Not with one of those chimneys you don't. It's pretty cool.

I typically use the instant light, but I had a bag of regular charcoal. Earlier this week I was farting around trying to get the coals going with lighter fluid. Took me several attempts to get them going right.

But the chimney gets regular coals going no sweat.

Homies pops used to come through on the field trip/picnic days at school. korean short ribs and rice. skrimple and delicious

Korean bbq is so good. Need to hit up a restaurant soon.

 

[Thats My Word]

I use a blow torch to start the fire sometimes.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]
