All BBQ starts with a great fire… a perfect fire if you will.  Mastering that fire will create a consistent cooking time, flavor and overall barbeque experience.  I will do my best to outline the methods I use to create the “perfect” barbeque fire, which will in turn point you in the right direction towards creating the “perfect” BBQ.  In this article, you will learn cooking temperatures, fire building techniques and wood selection (for flavor).

Please do not feel hurt or argumentative in the fact that I will not speak of the gas or heating element alternatives to grilling, smoking and cooking.  I am not knocking the George Foreman Grill you got for Christmas last year… nor am I ignoring the fact that steaks, burgers and tons of other meats taste awesome coming from a gas grill.  Knocking anything is not my intention – at all.  I simply do not know those elements like I do BBQ & grilling with wood or charcoal products.  Accept my apologies for not explaining it… if you write it and it is well written and comprehensive, I will post that along side mine.  I am a lover of all things BBQ – please believe it.
