About BBQ Forums

BBQ Forums is an independent guide to grilling and smoking at home. Despite the name, this is not a discussion forum: we publish practical guides that explain how grills and smokers work, how to control heat and smoke, and what to look for when you buy equipment.

New to barbecue? Start with BBQ for beginners, then read about the types of BBQ grills or how to choose a smoker. Before your next cookout, check our BBQ food safety guide for safe internal temperatures.

How we write our guides

  • We explain equipment and techniques; we do not publish hands-on product reviews or rankings.
  • Food safety temperatures follow the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, and fire safety advice follows the NFPA and manufacturer manuals.
  • Some links may be affiliate links. See our affiliate disclosure and editorial policy.
