About Barbecue
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.
