Adventures in BBQ

National Harbor, MD

Sorry it’s been so quiet apart from the sound of crickets around here lately. First off, my actual day job took me to the other side of the country for the Division of Planetary Sciences meeting near Washington DC which mostly involved being trapped in the conference hotel for a week (I did manage to try one place that offered good bbq chicken and ribs though…). As it was a Saturday->Saturday trip, this wiped out two weekends which could have been used for barbecue.

After getting back from that trip, we had visitors staying with us who were not likely to be up for trying bbq. During the time our visitors were here, I got sick with a cold just before Thanksgiving, which put paid to a plan to attempt a smoked turkey…. Anyway I have finally had a chance to cook a new recipe so there is a new cook report coming soon. I also hope to have the first restaurant/dining out “review” article up (assuming the photos turn out OK) from a rib place we visited near LAX while waiting to return our visitors to their waiting aircraft.

Welcome to the site ! I started this site after losing a carefully-crafted-over-many-hours post on Google+ describing my latest adventure into the world of BBQ cooking. So I decided to start this site to give a much better home to chronicling one man’s attempts to learn as much as I can about BBQ grilling and smoking. The posts will be mostly a kind of journal & diary of my various attempts to cook and smoke a variety of different BBQ staples and will give details of how I did it and a timeline of what went on through the cook. I’m hoping the posts will prove useful to other people who are interested or curious about BBQ.
