What have you found hard about BBQ? What did you struggle with, and how did you overcome it?
For me, my challenges are:
- Understanding and developing flavours. I understand some of the basic combinations such as salt, pepper, garlic, onion, chilli etc, but struggle with other flavours and how to develop them. What goes with what? What ratios?
- Isolation. Not distance wise, but the fact that I live alone and don't really have anyone close by that likes to smoke/bbq as well. It would be nice to hang with someone else while they cook, learning together, bouncing ideas off each other. Also, because it's usually only me eating the finished product, it lasts a lot longer and the frequency of the cooks is a lot less, slowing the learning process even more.
