Our friends in the US are in the thick of preparations for another huge 4th of July celebration. In between the parades, picnics, fireworks and entertainment, a BBQ is sure to feature prominently on the day’s events. Here are our top BBQ recipes to help mark the occasion…

Memphis Style BBQ Ribs Recipe
An old favourite from Steven Raichlen’s The Barbecue! Bible. The recipe comes with an optional Mop Sauce which we always use. This is another perfect opportunity to throw in a handful of wood chips to build some great flavour. See our top BBQ tips on smoking food.

Slow Cooked Beef Ribs BBQ Recipe
Create some sticky, tender, cola goodness with Adrian Richardson’s American inspired ribs recipe. And don’t forget to throw in some potatoes at the end – seasoned to your liking, wrapped individually in foil. Watch the video and you’ll see how it all comes together.

Achieving the right temperature every time
We had someone write in last week asking about tips on achieving the right temperature. Here’s a simple guide to follow.

For those not celebrating, there’s no reason you can’t host a grill feast in your backyard this weekend 🙂

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!
