Barrel Barbecue - Function

Function

A barrel barbecue works like a smoker barbecue where the meat hangs suspended from hooks and smokes for 2 to 3 hours. Because the lid is removed as little as possible during cooking, the extent of cooking is monitored using a remote control thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the meat.

The barrel is set in the dirt or cement so the grass does not catch fire. Coals are put in the bottom of the barrel along with some lighter fluid in and then ignited with a piece of paper that has a small flame on it. The flame is allowed to die down a bit before putting the meat on.

Famous quotes containing the word function:

    ... the function of art is to do more than tell it like it is—it’s to imagine what is possible.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

    Morality and its victim, the mother—what a terrible picture! Is there indeed anything more terrible, more criminal, than our glorified sacred function of motherhood?
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    Every boy was supposed to come into the world equipped with a father whose prime function was to be our father and show us how to be men. He can escape us, but we can never escape him. Present or absent, dead or alive, real or imagined, our father is the main man in our masculinity.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)
