My definition of BBQ

BBQ defined:
Barbecue was created to turn large tough inexpensive cuts of meat like beef brisket and pork shoulder into tender cuts of meat.


The act of “BBQing” is when you place a cut of meat, whether it is beef, chicken, pork, etc. in an enclosed pit, with an indirect fire and let it cook “slow and low” from the smoke of charcoal or wood, these can also be combined. The best cooking temperature usually runs between 200-225 degrees (some cooks like it a little hotter, around 250). This process renders the fat and breaks down the connective tissues of the meat which becomes a very tender meat. Barbecue was created for just this purpose, to turn large tough inexpensive cuts of meat like beef brisket and pork shoulder into tender cuts.

I searched other peoples definintions and came up with a version of my own. I hope this helps you understand the process of Q'ing.
