How to BBQ - Barbecue Recipes for the Charcoal Grill

There's nothing quite like a good barbecue meal. Learning how to bbq is a skill that takes time, practice, and a love of great food! Since there are so many types of grills out there, this site is dedicated to the love of charcoal grilling. We personally BBQ with a Kamado-style outdoor cooker (the Big Green Egg) and offer delicious barbecue recipes that we've tried on this wonderful grill.

Don't worry if you're new to barbecuing... even people who don't normally like to cook often enjoy grilling - there's just something about cooking outdoors, with the smell of roasting meat and veggies, that makes the BBQ more fun than cooking indoors with the oven or stovetop. Basic grilling is also not hard... you can experiment with different flavors and make your own marinades and rubs, or just buy some - and if it's missing that little extra, you can add your own seasonings to taste.

This collection of BBQ grill recipes will eventually cover all the favorites. These recipes will help you make delicious barbecued beef, chicken and ribs, salmon and seafood. And because great side dishes can really complement the taste of the meal as a whole, we're also including BBQ side dish recipes for potatoes and salads.

And finally, sauce and marinade recipes will also be added... because sometimes it's the marinades that can make the difference between 'good' and 'mouthwatering'!

We hope that you will use and enjoy the barbecue recipes on BBQ Grilling Guide. Bon appetit!
