Barbecue word search — free and large-print — drifts with hickory smoke, slow-cooked brisket, and sauce on every rib.

About Food & Home

Real barbecue isn't rushed. Over long hours in a smoker, tough cuts like brisket and pork shoulder surrender to low heat and fragrant wood smoke — hickory in the Carolinas, mesquite out in Texas — until the meat pulls apart at a touch and the outside crisps into a deep, mahogany bark. Every pitmaster has a dry rub they'd sooner take to the grave than write down, and the sauce debate — thick and sweet, thin and vinegary — has been known to outlast the cookout itself.
