Original BBQ Recipes

This is not a book of recipes. So don't expect page after page of recipes. There are plenty of good cookbooks out there if that's what you are trying to find.

Original BBQ Recipes was written so that you can become the creator of original recipes (instead of just following someone else's). It provides you with steps, strategies, tips, and techniques (and of course a few recipes too).

Don't sell yourself short. You have the ability to create your own original BBQ recipes. All you need is a little good information, experience, and confidence. I will start you out with some good information, you supply the time for a little experience, and together we will work on the confidence.

And don't think that you have to come up with these recipes from thin air either. Why reinvent the wheel, right? I'm talking about taking an existing recipe, and making it your own original recipe.

What's in it for me? You ask.

It's fun
Costs you nothing
You get good at doing something you love
You suit your own tastes
You will become the local expert
Be able to duplicate your creations
Even create your own recipe book (if you want)

Now, I don't want to make this time consuming or complicated. That would take the fun out of doing it. So try not to read too much into the process. It really is very simple.

1. Take an existing recipe
2. Adjust, delete, or add to it.
3. Perfect your original recipe
4. Optional step - Create your own Original BBQ Recipe book.
5. Required step - Get another drink and try again.

That's it. The beauty of this is that it costs you nothing, assuming that you already have the ingredients. Nothing but a little creativity, time, and of course fun.

When it comes to ingredients, though, there is no set formula (such as what to change or by how much). That's where your creativity comes into play. But... that's what allows for so many possibilities.

We will discuss sauces, chicken, beef, pork, seafood, cooking techniques, and much more. We will also talk about ingredients, how they interact, their effects, and how to adjust them. Don't forget about dishes like beans, potatoes, veges, and pizza. And we will also follow the trials of a newbie's first attempt at smoking a brisket.

I am no expert on BBQ, but simply an average person that loves it. I have been enjoying BBQ, grilling, smoking, and creating recipes, though, for over 40 years. And this is my approach to BBQ.
