Most of the people claiming bbq is just one thing have never smoked their own cook. There is a reason that competition bbq is chicken, pork and beef brisket.

Yes, Las Cruces has more than great Mexican food. Rasco's BBQ was pretty awesome last time I was there.

My UDS. The best portable smoker you can make for less than $75. Ribs, pork butt, fatties, turkey, and even salmon are easy to smoke with this. Brisket takes little practice, but you can get great results if you know how to control the heat.

Just basic physics.

Like Black's BBQ but absolutely love me some City Market! I can founder on the sausage and their sauce.

A lot of people here swear by Fox Brothers. Have only been once and did not like it. Daddy Dz on Hill Street has great ribs and decent pulled pork. They also have the best cornbread I have ever tasted. I will drive to Macon just for JL's. Best atmosphere and best bbq breakfast is Old Hickory House in Tucker.

I'd probably go with Heirloom on Akers Mill as my favorite in Atlanta. BBQ1 on Lower Roswell, and Community Q in Decatur both get very honorable mentions as well... there really is plenty of good BBQ in Atlanta.

Do you like Williamson Bros. in Marietta?

I haven't been to the original one in Marietta, but I've gone to their other locations. At first I really liked them, but I've come to think less of them as I've learned more about BBQ and have experienced different tastes. I think their sauce is either the top selling sauce in Metro Atlanta or pretty close to it - which I think is pretty cool.

I would KILL for one of their BBQ baked potatoes right now. Thing is as big as your head and their tea is top notch.

Always a little let down by the cobbler, though.

I do think Johnson's Boucaniere, while not a BBQ place per se, is a great traditional Louisiana smokehouse selling meats with typical south Louisiana spices and well worth the visit.

Face it, Bar B Que in Louisiana is not wonderful. I do however love me some anything fixed with Jack Miller Bar B Que sauce or Pig Stand Bar B Que sauce. If done right it is an amazing meal to me.

I've never been down to Alvin. I might have to do so. That looks a lot better than the boiled BBQ Texas seems to like.

Although, if you're looking for brisket, Gatlin's BBQ here in Lazybrook/The Heights is pretty good.

It might have been smoked at some point, but many BBQ purveyors let their cue rest in moisture, giving the brisket the texture of boiled not smoked BBQ.

Um...no. You want to keep it moist and there are many techniques, like wrapping a brisket in foil for the last quarter of the cook. But letting it sit in water or some other liquid is unacceptable. Anyone who does that isnt going to be in business very long at all. If you've chosen your brisket correctly (i.e. making sure the point and flat are nearly the same thickness and making sure to have a nice layer of fat on top) then moisture isnt usually a problem provided that you can correctly control the temperature and keep it real low for up to 12 hours. Done correctly the fat should melt over and into the brisket slowly. Its an art which is why I rarely have brisket when I go to a BBQ place outside of TX. I am usually disappointed by people cutting corners.

Not an establishment, but I made these this weekend for some friends. They were a big hit, and I'll be making them again.

If we're just talking about ribs, Fat Matt's on Piedmont is the best in Atlanta hands down. I love Community as well. Some of the best Mac and Collards in the city.

Fatt Matt's for ribs? Really? Not impressed by them at all.

Y'all are making me hungry. I prefer to do it myself, whole hog in a pit if you're feeding a crowd or a shoulder in the smoker for a more intimate affair. Splash some vinegar-pepper sauce on, mix and you're done.

The Brick Pit, located on Old Shell Road near USA, has some great BBQ. The books A Thousand Places To See Before You Die in the US and Canada and Real Barbecue, The One-hundred Best BBQ Joints In The Country both feature the Brick Pit. Man vs. Food Nation on the Travel Channel filmed an episode there; you can watch it on the Brick Pit's website.

By the way, they were also featured in Maxim Magazine, August 2008, as having the best Wet Rib's in America. Hey, I'm just the messenger!

I can't believe nobody in Mobile mentioned the Shed. It's awesome.

It closed down. I found it to be the second most vile BBQ in the entire state. (After Dreamland, which I find to be basically inedible). When the Shed shut down in Mobile, they stiffed their employees. And then basically laughed about it. Shady, shady, shady people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z1VqQOmeXs I've never seen anyone behave like they did. I ate there, once. BBQ was boiled not smoked and the sauce is mainly sugar. Before eating at their remaining location in Ocean Springs, MS, watch the attached news report as to how the owner treats employees that are being fired. Your jaw will drop.

They had a Shed near Lafayette (in Scott) that lasted about two years before closing. I hadn't heard anything bad about the one here. I did eat at the one in Mobile when we went to a softball game a few years back and I thought it was OK (not great, not bad).

Living in Lafayete Louisiana, no one cares about BBQ! We have some of the best food in the country, BBQ is a step below eveything else.

I don't think that no one cares. I just think no one has opened a restaurant in Lafayette that is consistently better than what folks do at home. As stated earlier, I really like Johnson's Boucaniere, which technically is more a smoke house than a BBQ joint.
