    Texas Backyard BBQ - Celeste Wilson

    INTRODUCTION

    Everyone loves a BBQ! And why is that? Is it the Scent of grilled or smoked meat in the air? The many yummy varieties of food cooked throughout the day? Socializing with family and friends in a relaxing atmosphere? Spending the afternoon soaking up the rays in the back yard? Going to the beach or the lake and setting up a BBQ on the riverbank or beachfront? Whatever your favorite thing is about a BBQ, we can all agree on one thing, that we love them!

    The beauty about a BBQ is that you can cook nearly anything you desire. Whatever your taste buds crave. Whether you are the king of the carnivore kingdom or a veggie lover, no one will be going home hungry.

    The recipes I have put together are all the things you would find at a Texas BBQ restaurant, with some extras that just can’t be left out. I have also included many favorites that you would find at most backyard BBQs. Grilling is the easiest and tastiest way to cook both meat and vegetables. With good food come good friends. I hope you enjoy the recipes and have a super wonderful time grilling!

    EQUIPMENT TIPS

    You are going to need a few essentials to get started barbequing. The bare minimum will consist of a charcoal or gas fired grill and a meat thermometer.

All of them are fine once you get used to how they work for you.

    Some good grill choices are:

    Weber© style charcoal grill. I used one of these for years and they are a great all around choice for grilling.

    Propane grill. These are super convenient for a quick meal.

    Side Box smoker/grill. It’s the all around Texas style grill. It can be used for smoking or direct grilling. They are very versatile.

    Dedicated Smokers:

    Propane smokers. Great at holding temperature and very convenient.

    • Wood or charcoal kettle smokers. Super popular and can make great BBQ although they do take quite a bit of tending to maintain even temperatures.

    Electric smokers. Great for someone who doesn’t want to tend their smoker every 30 minutes. They have a puck style wood system to feed your smoker automatically.

    Odds and ends:

    BBQ gloves. Some of the larger pieces of meat will overwhelm a pair of tongs and you will need a pair of gloves to help flip and handle your meat.

    • BBQ Mop. You’ll need this for applying sauces or sops. A basting brush will work in a pinch too.

    Meat Thermometer. This will be your most important piece of equipment when you are cooking. It takes all of the guesswork out of doneness and it will let you know what your meat is doing without having to poke a bunch of
