When you're looking for a place to barbecue, there are only three things to consider: The weather, the people and the food. If you really want to find a place to barbecue you must consider these three things above all others. Any place that with consistent nice weather will be the best barbecue location. However... if it is raining hard no picnic can be fun and you'll have to bring along something to protect from the cold. Quality BBQ food is essential for any type of barbecue, so you have to make sure you've got the best barbecue-compatible ribs in town. There are many different types of barbecues and tools on the market today. So many different types of barbecue food as well. To find a good place to eat barbecue you will have to think outside of the box a bit when considering your barbecue tools to avoid looking slick with half the kitchen in your basket. Some people bring special knives and cutters to barbecue. Others will rely solely on the food and barbecue tools to bring out the great tasting flavors in the food they love. To find an great place to barbecue, three high-tier beastmasters you will need to be considered. These high-tiered beastmasters are; the tongs, the spatula, and the flat steel pan or skillet. The tongs are the most important barbecue tool when cooking and barbecuing because they are designed for grasping a piece of meat and maneuvering it into the pot you are using. Without the tongs... your food will fall right out of your fingers and guarantee crunchy bites. Yum. The spurt, the liquid and the brush are the other two things you will need to bring along. The spurt is used to moisten meat before you are ready to cook it. The liquid is used to further moisten the meat and baste the meat in entirity. Finally, the brush is used to finish cooking the meat and prevent drippings from staining the next dish you prepare. Each of these beastmasters bring something unique to the table. And they all have their place in the heart of San Diego (or whereever you may be barbecu'in).
