It is an art. Of course we’re talking about grilling on the ‘cue. For those in the know, the statement of fact is nothing more than that. For other not yet acquainted with how in-depth barbecue culture runs ... well, after this week’s issue we trust you will be well-schooled enough to speak the gospel too.

 

This issue is a keeper, folks. From the different types of barbecue to near every conceivable joint in and around Detroit to get your rib on ... it’s chock-full of sweet molasses lovin’.
