How hard is it to barbecue meat. A child could do it, as long as an adult is there to start the fire if it's a coal or wood-powered barbecue. If it's gas-powered then a child could do the whole thing by itself.
Step 1. Soak the meat in a marinade of choice overnight.
Step 2. Throw it on the barbecue
Step 3. Flip it occasionally
Step 4. Remove when cooked
It's the most simple and basic way to cook something. I refuse to believe that there is any actual skill involved at barbecuing, that one person can be better at it than somebody else. Even a child could barbecue something as well as the best barbecue chef in the world could
As somebody who got his first smoker about two years ago (I’ve had regular grills before), let me tell you that, Respectfully… you don’t know what the f*** you’re talking about.
Good bbq (I’m not talking about just dropping some chicken or steak on a grill) takes skill, planning and patience.
The temperature that you use and how long you cook at certain temperatures makes a world of difference. Also understanding how to cook certain grades of meat is a task. Then when you start cooking cuts of meat that aren’t the most common, it gets even harder to get a quality results. You can make ribs 5 different ways and they all require differing techniques. Easiest thing to cook is a pork butt, but it takes hours. Making a proper brisket takes 10+ hours and you could still f it up and be eating a dry piece of leather if you don’t prep and monitor it properly.
Do you know when it’s time to pull a brisket? Do you know to do with a brisket after you pull it from the smoker? Do you know how to properly grill a piece of flaky fish?… or how to prepare it?
