Barbecue Essentials

PRO BARBECUE TIP

SAM JONES

Owner of Sam Jones BBQ,

Winterville, North Carolina

“I’ve found that the biggest mistake folks make trying to cook barbecue at home is that they don’t allow enough time, thinking it will cook quickly like hamburgers or hot dogs. With barbecue, you need at least two to two and a half hours, even if you’re smoking chicken. The pendulum of success or failure is dependent on time.”
