Occasionally you run across things online that must be shared. Here’s a video of someone who really understands what BBQ is all about, and isn’t afraid to share his thoughts with the world.
Classic stuff, and for those that don’t want to listen to the whole thing (you’re missing out if you don’t), here are a few of the highlights:
- No boiling. Anything.
- No using the word oven and smoking in the same sentence
- No Liquid Smoke
- No Matchlight or other self-starting charcoal
- Lighter Fluid is for starting trash piles on fire, not BBQ
- Gas grills work well for lighting your charcoal in a chimney (if you take all the defusers out)
- Don’t stick your thermometers in fat pockets or bones
- Dome temps are not to be confused with grate temps
- Have plenty of beer around
- Don’t mash your burgers and steaks while grilling, and let them rest
- Don’t sauce your meat until the last 30 minutes of smoking
There are some other wonderful tips in this video, and others by JB on YouTube. Check him out; if nothing else, he’s fun to watch.

Glad you enjoyed it, and happy to see that the BBQ message is spreading in Europe.
Great vid! thanxs! message received in Holland!
I love Holland; I spent about 6 weeks there on a work assignment 4 years ago. I’m really happy to see all the hits on the site from the Netherlands as well as the spread of MOINK and other BBQ favorites over there. Thanks for stopping by!
thnxs!
That guy is to funny, but if your a beginner he pretty much hit on all the important points to to turn out good barbecue. I’m going to link this vid to all my peeps!
He is funny, and it’s amazing how many people don’t know how serious some of his points are. Never boil ribs; it’s just wrong.
