Had a 1" T-Bone with all the fixings while the Wife had her Lobster tail.
The occasion" 23 years married to the same old fart! (applied to both of us LOL)
I don't know which of us had the best meal, but you could cut mine with a fork, and I did!
You couldn't have bought a better meal at the best restaurant in 75 miles.
Extra YUMMY!

That aint BBQ.  When I BBQ it takes all day.  The meat, brisket, is prepared by my hands only with a homemade dry rub.  Then I start the coals in the smoker.  Then I place said brisket in the smoker for 8-12 hours depending on the size.  Once said brisket is in the smoker I start my BBQ sauce on the stove, homemade of course.  The BBQ sauce takes about 3-4 hours to fully cook down and requires frequent stirring.  Mean while the brisket is attended to on an hourly basis to ensure the correct temperature is maintained.  When said brisket is done I remove it from the smoker and slice it up for dinner.  The wife does make the potato salad most of the time though.

Now when it comes to steaks, well thats just grilling some meat no big deal.

You may be surprised but some of us Brits BBQ as well as grill, personally I love pulled pork, and low n slow ribs....

Good to see this thread come back up.  I cook on my Big Green Egg year round.  Sometimes I'm grilling like Gabby described, sometimes I'm smoking like Chief.  I like to use scraps of my cherry wood from projects as "smoking" material, and strictly "lump" charcoal.  Maple works good for flavoring also.  We did rib eye steaks last night for our youngest son's birthday.
