Enjoying Southern Style BBQ At Home

By Alison Wilcox


When cooking southern style bbq there are many methods that can be used. However, the one method that seems to be getting the most attention is the smoked bbq. A lot of the bbq restaurants in the south have their own smoke house to cook their meat in. You do not have to own a smoke house to get that fabulous flavor into your bbq.

You could simply use a grill to smoke your meat. However, if you plan to smoke a lot of meat then you might also want to look in to buying your very own smoker. You may actually be a little surprised at just how affordable they can be. You also may be surprised to find that there are a lot of different types for you to choose from. If you plan to bbq then this is just the first of many decisions.

First, choose what meat you plan to use for your bbq. Down in the south will like to smoke pork. After you have picked your meat, it is time to pick your wood chips. You have to choose carefully because the meat will be getting a lot of flavor out of these chips. If you ask a roomful of people to recommend a type of chip to use, your gonna be getting many different answers. Some people even make up a combination of different wood chips.

After you pick out your wood chips you have to move on to seasoning your meat. This step will vary depending on what you prefer. Some people choose to marinade their meat, while others choose to dry rub theirs. Even still there are some people that prefer to use little or nothing so that the meat has a natural flavor.

You may find that many of the bbq restaurants down south like to use dry rubs for their pork shoulders. That is not a problem if you do not like that type of bbq because these places usually have many different types of bbq to choose from. One of the favorites down south is the bbq chicken.

You can do your chicken many different ways, just like your pork or beef. You could choose to brine your chicken before cooking to help it stay juicy. You could also choose to marinade or dry rub. My favorite way to have bbq chicken is with wet bbq sauce smeared on top of it and then cooked slowly so that the sauce becomes sticky.

Another southern favorite is the bbq ribs. With the ribs it is up to you as to whether you want to use beef or pork. You will also have to choose a method of flavoring just like with the pulled pork and the chicken. So you see there are many different types of bbq to choose from and all of them are amazing.

Southern style bbq can be prepared a number of ways and it is completely up to you to decide which way you like yours. You do not have just one simple way of preparing and flavoring your bbq.
