I love barbecue but seem to know very little about it! I cook lots indoors but haven't had much practice outdoors or with big meat

To make sure my next BBQ goes better than the last: What are your favourite places (websites, YouTube channels, blogs, etc) to get barbecue advice/knowledge/ideas/inspiration?

Alternatively: what are your best pieces of advice for BBQ novices? :)

Thanks in advance!

Book purchased! As well as the other one mentioned by Destide earlier. Excited to learn lots, thanks for the recommendations

We've got a gas grill, but didn't know you had to clean the tubes. I always look in all the crevices to check for spiders anyway tho, so hopefully no future accidental fires

Also: I didn't know what a big green egg was until earlier today but they look fantastic! Hope your eggy barbecue dreams are coming true with having one :)

Yeah I had an old toothbrush I'd gently brush them out with and I assume it did something? That's what the manual said to do.

The bigger issue imo is scraping the accumulated grease and grime off the inside of the firebox and emptying the drip pan regularly.

The local cats love the grease trap.
