Favorite Barbecue Links:

I am a maniacal data gatherer, and when I want to know something I'll comb the Internet and read tons of books to find the answers. Here is the "Cream" of barbecue information on the Net as I've found it (IMHO).

The most comprehensive FAQ on Barbecue, The Barbecue FAQ of the Internet, (http://www.eaglequest.com/~bbq/faq2/toc.html), covers the whole gambit of information and answers many of the same questions that you are asking right now.

Where I got my start, Barbecue'n on the Internet, (http://www.barbecuen.com) with articles from Smoky Hale. Here, you'll find some very spirited opinions on barbecue, with a lot of great articles to get you started. Smoky's a bit grouchy at times, but that just adds to his character. Great source for Offset-Cooking information. (he doesn't like bullets too much)

For cooking on the Weber Smoky Mountain, you CAN'T beat Chris Allingham's Virtual Weber Bullet (http://www.virtualweberbullet.com). This is the website that I aspire to be. As you'll find, I won't cover much on the WSM on my site because Chris just does such a damn good job on his. Instead, I'll just refer you. Great for all bullet cookers, even if you just own an ECB or kettle.

For those of you in the crowd with Kamado's or BGE's, AlanZ. has a great site, Kamado Cooking (http://www.zenreich.com/ZenWeb/kamado.htm). There are tons of recipes and illustrations that you can apply to any cooker. Alan has a love of cooking that I can relate to, and it shows on his site.

The best place on the Internet to hang out and ask questions on barbecue, Ray Basso's Kansas City BBQ Forum, (http://www.rbjb.com/rbjb/rbjbboard/index.html). This is the place that I learned about 98% of what I know about barbecue. You can learn from amateurs like me, and full-on professional chefs and caterers. These folks just like to help people and are usually good-natured and helpful. (I know some of them are reading this, and they know what I mean about "usually".) Just remember that all of what you read is 100% opinion most of the time, so just make the best of it.

Creole and Cajun Cooking? Well, not barbecue exactly, but great recipes for sausage, tasso, jambalaya, etc., (http://www.gumbopages.com)

General Purpose Recipes, Arielles Recipe Archives, (http://www.neosoft.com/recipes/). Tons of recipes on just about everything you can imagine. Compiled from the cooking newsgroups, I believe.

I have more, of course, but these are the best. As I find new ones that are worth it, I'll put them up.
