Without exception, the oldest form of cooking worldwide is over an “open flame.” The world has come a long way in cooking capability and technique over all those years but it is not surprising that one of the most primitive cooking methods has survived and is more popular than ever. There is no substitute for the flavor and visceral reaction that you get from grilling and outdoor cooking in all its forms.

Here in America, with the possible exception of baseball, there isn't a tradition more American than "backyard grilling and barbeque." Growing up, I can't recall a time when grilling and BBQ wasn't part of almost any celebration. Summers were all about outdoor barbecues. Picnics were all about BBQ. Beach parties were all about grilling. Ball games were all about tailgating and barbeque.The smell of a freshly started grill. The smoky scent of the cooking food. Steaks, ribs, roasts, burgers, chicken, wild game, fish, vegetables, and even bread and fruit. Basically, nothing was safe from the grill or the smoker in my world (still isn’t). 

We all carry those memories into adulthood and pass them along in much the same manner as they were passed on to us: with celebrations, cookouts, backyard parties, traditions, grill gadgets, secret barbecue recipes, family barbecue sauce, recipes for grilling, and memories. Anywhere, anytime, any meal, any snack. Summer, winter, spring, or fall, BBQ or grilling could be made to work. We were all "fools" for barbecue.
 

I began the BBQ Fool® to keep all that alive for family and friends, the barbecue recipes, the grilling techniques, the products, the fun.
 

Let us teach you about barbecue, grilling, spice rubs, recipes, barbecue sauce, and outdoor cooking.
