Best BBQ Meat
Now that the elections are over, let's get down to something much more important to vote over; what BBQ meat is the best? I feel like cooking this weekend and was trying to decide. So, Beef, Chicken, or Pork? Anyone got a special receipe?

It is true that any meat can be barbecued.
It is also true that "barbecue meat", or, more correctly, "barbecue", is, by definition, PORK!

Pork, pork and more pork!
Pulled pork and pork steaks here in the mid west are hard to beat also.
Thanks

Oh come on pictures and just before lunch, and you got me drooling for some ribs. Wish I was closer to a BBQ joint right now.

Here abouts it's pork cooked over Hickory. Mmmmmmmm. My father-in-law (RIP) made THE BEST I've ever eaten. He'd have my wife's brother and I go down into the snake infested bottoms and find some Sassafras limbs to add to the fire --- Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
I don't mind the snakes (only poisonous around here are Copperheads and Cotton Mouths ) --- But the spiders, mosquitoes and ticks are a bit much..... I can't use bug spray on or near me

Pig. It's good and good for ya.
Beef is good as long as it's brisket.
Yard bird is third choice
But y'all forgot about seafood (well it's technically grilling)
Grilled oysters, shrimp, redfish, smoked tuna steaks, waffles, hell-it's all good

Barbecue=Dead Hawg ------- Ribs, Boston Butts, Shoulders, Hams, or the Whole Hawg. I happen to use Boston Butts predominately. These were cooked to about 195 degrees over a period of 14 hours. This results in meat that literally falls off the bone when it is pulled. Cooked these up last Fourth of July. Will do it again 6/4/2011, God Willing and the creeks don't rise. Come on down, or up, whichever the case might be, you are all welcome. We don't serve no beer nor corn likker in deference to my 92 year old Mama. She don't hold with drankin' and cussin'. She will throw down on you with her Model 37 if you come snooping around her house in the dark of the night, too.

Notwithstanding Samuel L. Jackson's slanderous comments in Pulp Fiction, the swine is a noble beast. I don't trust anybody who won't eat it. I have many jewish friends; they are all, secretly or openly, pork eaters.
Bacon, pork chops, pulled pork, pork tenderloin, pork ribs, and best of all, porketta, one taste of which converted my stepdaughter from vegetarianism. Saved her, you could say.

Salmon--
Friend of mine gave me a 20 pounder they caught in Lake Michigan last week--it's going on the grill. Double wrapped in foil with lemon slices and lots of butter--open the foil for the last 20 minutes or so and let it sear--just like eating candy.

Boys, there ain't no real "barbecue" east nor north of the Red River...
Ain't no chili back east or up north neather.
Brisket, Beans & Biscuits for this ol' hand.
I don't take to eatin' no bugs.
But, I have ate some Monroe County shoulder and vinager slaw with cornbread hoe-cakes that was a might tasty.
Su Amigo,
Dave

In the east "Barbeque" is meat specifically pork cooked over coals out west "Barbeque" is an activity that entails cooking over coals outside.
My daughter lives in S.Carolina and is married to a South Carolinian,we have this debate all the time.The best BBQ I have ever had was in Modesto CA cooked by some boys from South Carolina.Go figure.

I love it all, but agree with Dave. This was my first try at brisket and it was pretty good.

Love them all and have special marinades for each one, yet baby back ribs slow done on the grill served with apple cider vinegar slaw, cold corn relish, and corn bread with diced peppers is KING.

I normally do two kinds of smoking (BBQ to some), beef ribs which I buy from a store that cuts their own rib-eyes so I get all the meat. Ever since the packers found out they could cut the meat from between the ribs and sell it for more money as ground beef I have avoided packer ribs like the plague.
The other is briskets, usually whole ones. I am doing a flat tomorrow to take the the gun show Friday so we can have lunch at our tables.
I often smoke jalapeños while I am smoking other stuff, they make a good appetizer.

The best BBQ meat is what is on sale or in the freezer already! I have cooked and eaten everything mentioned already and love it all. Even had a whole smoked balogna and a smoked meatloaf-don't judge till you try it-good stuff. Sweeter sauce on pork and chicken than beef,and a little vinegar twang is good too.

Do you actually expect a feller whose outfit just rounded up and put 6500 head of cattle on trucks in the last two months to say pig?

Steve,
Respectfully sir, that isn't "barbecue," it is grilled salmon.
Just because you cook it on a grill, doesn't make it barbecue. Barbecue IS NOT a verb, it is a noun. If it doesn't involve smoke of some sort (Hickory is perfect for pork), and some sort of sauce or sauces (rub, baste, dipping or finishing) it ain't barbecue.
And in Tennessee, it is against the law to serve anything but pork as barbecue, and it is against the law to serve Yankee Tea (unsweetened iced tea).
I do have somewhat of a recognized expertise in these matters, thank you very much.
The Highlander

Hey, the poll didn't have an "Other" option. Didn't anyone ever see the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes?"

Technically, I think that was considered "pig"  .

I like the vinegar sauce, although the one I make seems to have a bit more bite to it. If the pork around here looked like what I see in that picture, I'd be all over it.
So...a challenge to the NC members. Tell me where a descent "q" place is in the Sanford-Fayetteville area.
