Kettle Grilling Tip

[Ed1]

Found that dumping coals directly onto bottom of Kettle grill (without coal grid) helps control temp for low N slow. My old kettle grill is missing vent covers (fell off and out of sight! LOL) Did some rib tips and do good by it!
Not using the Freezer Q for the next 6 weeks, got it all cleaned up and gett`n it ready for my relocation to South Carolina.

Where are you headed for and I`ll try to give you a few ideas on joints in the area

Going just south of Charlotte, NC, which is the nearest big city, between Lancaster, SC and Charlotte, NC. Lots of hits on web for Q joints, but I just hates to brag on myself but mostly mine is better than any Q joint I been. Sweets

I`ll also bet that you *will* try some of the more highly recommended Q joints just to compare, and possibly get another idea or two. Just don`t expect it to be as good as anyone`s home made. The Q joint is still mass producing the stuff, and must make a profit every day, just to keep the doors open.

Lexington and Greensboro may be worth a trip for you though. Stamey`s in Greensboro and Lexington # 1 are just out of this world. Both of the Bridges places in Shelby are pretty good. If you travel there is a new book out that called Tarheel BBQ. It is set up for travelers. Even has it set up so you can know what joints are along each highway.

I figured to swing by Lexington sometime to see what was going on, it`ll be nice to explore and see what I can find. Some guy around Charlotte area has a trailer that he takes from parking to parking lot, calls himself Ron`s, Have`t tried him yet but sure that I will. Sweets

Used to be a place called The Hickory House BBQ ...going north of Charlotte toward the College , not far at all , a few miles ...look it up in the phonebook ">

than all the joints in town. Another good parking lot guy sets up at the corner of Remount and West blvd on Thursdays and Fridays.
Bubba`s on the north side of town (Sunset Rd exit off I-77) has good stew but his Q is cooked in an electric cooker with hickory chips for the last few hours.
Old Hickory House has the best Q in town for a restaurant, but the sauce is horrible. They`re log burners and proud of it. His stuff is good enough you don`t need any sauce.
