Ways To Prepare Southern Style BBQ

By Alison Wilcox


There are many ways to cook southern style bbq but the method that stands out the most is smoking. Many of the southern bbq restaurants have smoke houses behind their restaurants to do all of their smoking in. You don't have to own a smoke house to get that wonderful taste into your bbq.

You could always use your grill for smoking your bbq. However, if you are planning to do a lot of smoking then you could look into getting a smoker of your own. It is surprising just how affordable a smoker is. The many types you have to choose from is equally as surprising.

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 have chosen the wood chips it is time for you to choose a seasoning for your bbq. This is completely up to you. If you like your meat marinated then by all means, marinade your meat. If you like dry rubs then choose your favorite and put it on your meat. However, you do not have to use anything because the natural flavor is wonderful.

Most of the popular southern bbq restaurants use dry rubs on their pork shoulders. However, this is not the only type of bbq you can find at these wonderful places. Southern bbq restaurants have many types of bbq on their menus to choose from. Another favorite down south is the bbq chicken.

Just like with your pork there are a lot of different ways to bbq it. Some people like to brine their chicken first so that is does not dry out. You also have the choice of dry rub or marinade. One of my favorite ways to do chicken is to smear wet bbq sauce on it and then slowly cook it so the sauce gets all sticky.

BBQ ribs is an all time southern favorite. You have the choice of pork or beef ribs. After you make that decision, you have to make the decision on how to flavor your ribs. Just like with chicken and pulled pork you have a lot of different ways to season your ribs. There are so many amazing types of bbq for your to choose from and they are all wonderful.

The great thing about bbq is it is up to you as to how you flavor it. There is not one simple way to cook or flavor your bbq. Southern style bbq can be prepared a number of ways. You just decide what you like and make it. If you are having people over and are not sure what everyone likes, you can season your meats many different ways. You can also cook many different meats.
