Friday Find: What Is BBQ?

Christie Vanover of Girls Can Grill shares her knowledge with the new BBQ Tips Podcast.

Champion pitmaster Christie Vanover is the woman behind one of America’s top BBQ websites: GirlsCanGrill.com. The site, which was launched in 2015, includes hundreds of recipes for your charcoal, pellet, gas or electric grill or smoker along with thousands of BBQ tips that will make you crush it behind the grill. Christie has won multiple BBQ championships and recently competed on Food Network’s BBQ Brawl.

Now, Vanover has launched the new BBQ Tips Podcast, where she will be sharing quick BBQ tips in 15 minutes or less that you can easily squeeze into your day to help you up your BBQ game. In the first episode, she explains the difference between BBQ, grilling, smoking, and live-fire cooking. She also describes what she views as BBQ and, perhaps more importantly, what it is NOT. New episodes will be released every Thursday at Noon Eastern. Be sure to subscribe and tune in each week!
