My favorite thing to BBQ is tri-tip. It is famous in this region and bbqing was said to have started here (Santa Barbara County) when the Portuguese settled in the area. The origin of the the word BBQ comes from their word barbacoa. It started here not in the south or anywhere else. Of course people cooked over open flame long before this but not in this style.
My favorite thing to cook is spareribs.
Pretty much anything I can fit on the grill is good for me.
I go in spurts when it comes to grilling. I have grilled my entire meal or just the main course. Beef, pork, seafood, chicken, and vegetables have been on my grill at one time or another. I must confess that my favorite item to grill is…baby back ribs. I put a spicy rub on them and let them absorb that flavor for several hours to overnight. I cook them over indirect heat with mesquite chucks on the charcoal. The vent is over the ribs on the cool side pulling the wood flavor over the ribs. Low and slow works for me with a brush of homemade sauce to finish them. Delish!
I like grilling desserts! Any kind of pastry that can be cooked on the grill and especially grilled fruits.
Love to fire up the grill but I'm just leaning how to go slow and low for BBQ

Meat, good. BBQ meat, better.

I love fish on the grill. A whole stuffed trout or pompano is delicious grilled because the skin gets crispy, but cedar planked salmon is my favorite.

BBQ Beef Short RIbs and Chicken
Love to put a pork loin on hot coals!
We grill and smoke year round and love it. We are always experimenting.
My favorite thing(s) to grill are Beer Can Chicken (I rarely make it the same way twice); a good porterhouse / t-bone or rib eye is always awesome on the grill. And grilled onions and chiles and peppers to make an awesome salsa – nothing like the smell of all those chiles. Grilled pizza is always fun too!!! Now I'm hungry.
I love to grill anytime, anywhere and no matter what the weather! If you hand it to me, I'll grill it! My favorite thing to grill is fish, especially Pacu. Pacu ribs, now that's good eatin'!
My favorite is BBQ beef ribs!
BBQ Chicken Breasts s=is my favorite BBQ recipe.

I bbq steaks, pork chops, ribs, chicken you name it … I am also always doing potatoes on the grill for any number of grilled potato salad variations.
We have recently indulged in using skewers to grill marinated Tandoori Chicken and grilled veg. Dynamite combination when served with rice and Nan bread family style on large platters. Don't forget the Garlic Hummis!
My current favorite thing to grill is Pineapple-Jalapeno Jerk Baby Back Ribs. Taste so good!
Barbeque Chicken is my favorite
We just bought a new grill and we have only been making burgers. My husband loves ribs and I've been looking for new ways to make them so we can be making them all the time!
There is nothing better then an ear of fresh grilled corn.

I love to grill burgers, kabobs, and chicken breasts the most as they are what I am most familiar with, but I would love to learn how to grill other things, especially since my family just got a new grill for Father's Day!
I love using both my smoker and my grill. My current favorite is smoked shrimp with romesco sauce. That light smoke on the shrimp makes the dish.
My go-to items for bbq are usually new york strip steaks, chuck eye steaks or burgers… But lately i've been addicted to grilling chicken drumsticks!!!

My most favorite…ribs slowcooked with a coating of balsamic vinager and then a rub of barbecue rub and adobo. That's it. Sooooooo amazing and easy
Beef, pork, or chicken are mainstays, but once I steaked some fresh kokanee salmon…That was SO good!!

Beer Can Chicken
I love to grill shark & salmon. It reminds me of the good days when I lived with my dad before he got remarried and everything went downhill for both of us. We would stay up late watching different movies that we rented from the store down the street & eating junk food. He grilled our dinner almost every night on his fancy smoker BBQ. His favorites were a salmon coated in orange brown sugar & a lemon-rosemary shark fillet.
I love to grill! I recently printed off an article from the Food Network website called "50 Things to Grill in Foil". There are some things I would have never thought of trying and I can't wait to work myself through the list!
We barbeque all the time and we do a variety of things. But I think we all like our ribs and steaks the best.
I like to grill chicken and try various sauces and marinades
The only way my boyfriend cooks is when he barbeque's. My favorite dish is when he when he makes chicken and sauces it all up, and on the side he will put some whole corn on the grill. DELISH!
