Barbeque is the ultimate cooking experience. The sound of steak sizzling on a grill or the sweet aroma of ribs basting in a finger-lickin barbecue sauce triggers mouthwatering sensations.

Hello and welcome. My name is John and I am the author of this website.

Barbecue is defined as a method or apparatus for cooking food with heat from smoking wood, hot charcoal or gas. For me barbequing is so much more than just grilling or smoking meat.
