Barbecue never does get it's due. Most people don't even know what barbecue is. It is almost always misrepresented, misappropriated and mislabeled. 'Throwin' some burgs on the Q' is not barbecue. You can't barbecue a burger, or a steak or hotdog (but a sausage, yes!) So I suppose the point of this is to bring barbecue to a wider, younger audience in hopes it will be appreciated and better understood.
The true masters of this craft are notoriously absent from the internet. They don't tweet, or get 'likes' on facebook, they probably don't even regularly check their email, if they have email at all. Those who have waded into this endless shallow pool of information seem to have done so years ago - and not updated since.
There is an shortage of information on barbecue in the beautiful and accessible way you might find it in other industries such as fashion, design and food (porn.) I love barbecue, but like most everyone north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and even worse, north of the Canada-US border - I misunderstood it.
I'm going to find what's good out there,
James Kennedy
