My boys got a grill smoker when they were stuck at home during quarantine and it was the cutest thing to see them get up so early to smoke meat for our dinner!

Not sure what temperature to see on your meat thermometer?
I made this handy chart to help as I would ask the boys the same thing every night that we grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp, or steak – these are my favorites. You can print the diagram here.
Black Smoke BBQ
Adrian Miller’s Black Smoke sheds light on an important piece of the American culinary history puzzle. If you love barbecuing, you will love this book.
Grilling or grilling or grilling?
Do you write it barbecue, barbeque or do you use the abbreviated BBQ? I am a fan of BBQ.
According to Miller, the word “barbecue” is an adjective, noun, verb, and way of life!
What is grilling?
But what is grilling? Miller, one of my favorite cultural and culinary historians, states that the origins of grilling are cooking techniques rooted in the culinary tradition of Native American people prior to European contact.
Native American Origins of BBQ
Enslaved African Americans took what they learned from Native Americans to become “the foremost experts and ambassadors of barbecuing” in the US and later around the world.
The word barbecue is derived from barbacoa, a sixteenth-century general-purpose term that refers to anything from a bed to a table, platform, or grill. “After all, the Spaniards used barbacoa as a generic term for the cooking apparatus, the cooking process and the type of meat cooked in this way.”
Miller goes on to say that “the English followed suit with this linguistic promiscuity”.
Before we move on to the grill recipes, let me tell you this book is a must have.
