National BarBQ month

National BBQ Month occurs each year in May. While around here the weather has not been perfect for barbecuing with all the rain we squeeze it in whenever possible. The term barbecue refers to pork that has been cooked over a high smoke fuel source like wood or charcoal. However,  the term now includes other meats and foods and refers to the cooking method not a special dish.

The method of cooking barbq style is thought to have originated from the aboriginal peoples in the Caribbean and Florida. Barbecue during the mid 18th century mean "a dressed whole hog," While the two terms barbecue and grilling out are occasionally used together there is a difference. Grilling often uses more direct heat from lower smoke fuels and may even allow the flames to touch the meat. Barbecue uses a more indirect heat, and higher smoke fuels. Either way summer time is here get out and do some cooking.
