What Activities Are More American Than Grilling, Smoking and Barbecuing?

There is a significant difference between grilling, smoking and barbecuing as well as between smokers, barbecues and grills. When grilling, you quickly seal in the juices of the meat, you are cooking, by searing at a temperature range of high heat, 400 – 550° F. Grilling takes just a few minutes and is usually served up, to be eaten right away.

Barbecuing involves a lower temperature (low heat, 190 – 300° F), to aid the infusion of flavors and to retain moisture, which usually takes hours, but it too is often served right to the table.

Smoking is a way to preserve meats and can take hours or even days, too accomplish. Smoking is done at very low heat, 52 – 140° F and is seldom eaten directly from the smoker.

You can’t just throw some wet mesquite chips over hot coals and fully smoke your meat on grills. That is not how it works. Once the meat has been seared by the heat of the grill, no more smoky flavors can enter.  

A properly smoked piece of meat has to be thoroughly infused with smoke, inside and out. Only prolonged smoking will achieve that result, which means a low temperature for a long time. 
On grills we char the outside of the meat to seal in the juices by caramelizing the outside and creating a smoke flavored crust, which prohibits the flavor from going deeper. It is grilled NOT smoked.

Like Starbucks is more than just coffee, barbecuing is an event. Using barbecues  involves a long, slow, indirect, low-heat method using charcoal or wood pieces to both partially smoke and fully cook the meat. 
Barbecuing is ideally suited for large pieces of meat such as butts, ribs or whole pigs.
A barbecue, like grilling out, is a social affair where people gather to gossip, drink, have fun and start eating as soon as the cooking is done. 

Smoking is a preservation process (think SMOKED HAMS or JERKY) traditionally smoked meats are usually eaten cold or heated up and eaten at a later date.
We at USofA.com list the makers of barbecues, grills and smokers who can make your grilling, smoking and barbecuing easier and more successful. Enjoy and celebrate America.
