If you were to ask, "Which month is National Barbeque Month?" most folks would tend to go with July, since an Independence Day barbeque is almost as ubiquitous as a Thanksgiving Day turkey.You might be surprised to discover that May is, in fact, National Barbeque Month. And when you consider what a cool month it is, I dont think that we can begrudge it its tasty title.
May heralds the imminence of summer. The weather warms consistently. Flowers come to full bloom. Pollen takes flight in all of its invisible and active forms — yet fails to dissuade most Northerners, long besieged by the cold winter months, from wanting to get out from under the shelter of their roofs. And really, what better approach to getting reacquainted with the great outdoors, neighbors, friends and family than the aroma of slowly grilled meat crusted with a sweet and spicy glaze?
While barbequing over a gas grill has many advantages — temperature control, convenience, etc. — its hard to argue that barbeque tastes a whole lot better (if done correctly) over charcoal.* Sadly, the art of charcoal grilling is fading in favor of the convenience of gas grills. But to those who abide by the sanctity and superiority of charcoal grilling, we offer this Trivia Tuesday question:
You know when the coals are hot enough to add the meat when you cant hold your hand over it for more than how many seconds?
