Though the marshmallow bits will stick, and the toxic chemicals could do any number of things, not excluding the possibility of melting the steel grille. :D

10. I voted other... I have a killer rib recipe, I've never given to anyone..

but if you want I'll write it out for you...I quit eating red meat 12 years ago...but I make the ribs for my partying bros and my son along with some great CA wines, local brew and shots of gold , good N Ca organic smoke, potato salad and corn on the cob...

And even dudes who pride themselves on being great barbaquers are blown away with my ribs...they wonder how a veggie like me can que such great juciy, spicy, tender ribs. (I wasn't always a veggie, I'll have a rib now and then) My sauce, I got from my favorite black owned BBQ joint in Berkeley (never had good ribs at a white owned place, except mine) and I charmed the counter girl many years ago with my smile and she gave me this very simple recipe and it'll knock you out...I don't tell anyone...because the sauce is so simple they might think less of my ribs.

Let me know!

[EstimatedProphet]

15. Sure!

I'd love it. I have to admit, ribs is one thing I really do like, and one thing I really don't have much experience cooking.

[soothsayer]

17. please please please, I need a good rib recipe!

I only just started bbq-ing and my ribs are not up to par.

Pretty pleeeez??

12. Chicken - Here's what you do

Cut the chicken in 8ths. Cut a slice deep into the thickest area of each piece, so the marinade penetrates and put the pieces in a bowl. Take some low-fat or no-fat yogurt (I'm not good with measurements, so use enough to cover all of the chicken) and throw it a food processor with a medium sized onion, three or four garlic cloves, and a chuck of ginger, about 1 inch square. You can alter the amt of onion, garlic, and ginger to your liking. Process it all and then pour it over the chicken making sure each piece is thouroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, preferably 4.

Now, go to Chinese grocery (if you can) and find a jar of "Spare Rib Sauce". Buy it. Also buy some 5-spice powder, if you don't already have some.

Mix the sauce with honey, about 2 parts sauce to 1 part honey. Chop up some garlic, no chop up a lot of garlic, and throw it in. Add about a teaspoon of the 5-spice powder, and start grilling the chicken. About 15 minutes before the chicken is done, start basting with the sauce and finish cooking the chicken.

If you can't get the spare rib sauce, then use your favorite bbq sauce mixed with some honey and garlic. The real secret is the marinade, which gives the chicken a pleasant texture and flavors the meat with whatever spices and flavorings you added to the marinade.

13. Slow BBQ a pork shoulder

Wood chips too.

[Zinfandel]

14. Man. I'm not lying...

[lyrical di]

16. veggies and fish

Fish is great on the grill. Keeps the smell outside.
Veggies are better on the grill. You don't even miss the fatty meats.
Like when Kerry becomes president, we won't even miss the fat cats.

21. As a matter of fact

I smoked some salmon filets last weekend. WOW! Boy were they good!

[soothsayer]

18. We talking BBQ or grilling?

BBQ is low and slow, grilling is high heat. Both are GREAT!

I'm bbq-ing a 15.5 lb brisket. Phew! Gonna' be an all nighter (and then some).

[EstimatedProphet]

22. Probably grilling, with smoke too

I do lika da smoke
