New England BBQ Society
Around 1991, the New England Society for Wood Cookery was formed. In 1994, the Wood Cookery Society became The New England Barbecue Society, a stable, fiscally responsible, not-for-profit, group of dedicated BBQ cooks and consumers. Along with our monthly print publication The National Barbecue News, the NEBS was born to offer New England grillers the opportunity to learn Southern style barbecue techniques, whether using wood, charcoal, or even gas.
Although both NEBS and KCBS allow only wood or charcoal in their cooking competitions, NEBS believes that gas cooks can learn to use wood chips and indirect low heat to create high quality barbecue in their covered grills. Charcoal grill users are provided plenty of recipes (and competitions) to hone their skills. True believers can cook and compete, with their $50 water smokers to their $10,000 trailer mounted rigs, and everything in between.
In our website, and our monthly printed newsletter The National Barbecue News, we post the results of our competitions, recipes, tips on cooking, book reviews, features about "where to find it" whether it's BBQ joints, equipment, that "just-right-secret-ingredient", and notices on upcoming events.
Since its inception, the New England Barbecue Society has accomplished the following:
