Hey Folks,

I am thinking about using all the different styles of BBQ I am
aware of to create a log and help decide which I prefer best.
These are the one I am aware of...

1) Southwest BBQ - Just about anything slow cooked over open
fire, adjustable height grilling grate. Frequent basting and
turning.

The kind of southwest style you're referring to is more
rotissere-grilling than bbq.

2) Texas BBQ - Dry rubbed brisket and sausage, mesquite
smoked low and slow (mostly) with out mopping or sauce.

Most Texas joints use pecan or oak, not mesquite.

3) Kansas City BBQ - Spare Ribs and now briskets smoked with
a thick sweet sauce. It isn't BBQ until the sauce is added.
Hickory and Oak wood I think.

There is really no such thing as a KC style. KC is the *******
conglomeration of all styles which originated from other locations.


FYI KC was the intersection of many cattle drive routes and a
rancher's market dating from the early west, and that is where KC
barbecue originated... . in KC.

Right, which came from texas, along with pork bbq from the southeast.
KC is a crossroads for all styles 'cause the pit-masters who
originated those styles migrated into KC.

That makes a lot more sense than "******* conglomeration".

OK, but it means the same :-)

One prominent regional style that the OP neglected to mention is around
Kentucky, where mutton is king.
