First strait to the point. With this being the kickoff to the BBQ and grilling season I want you to send me your BBQ or grilling pictures, or pictures of what you’ve cooked on the your grill or smoker to: mrdodd18@hotmail.com with a short description of what I’m looking at (please put BBQ photo in the subject line) . Nothing is too simple or small, I want this to be fun for all levels of backyard chefs. At the end of the month I will post them all in a blog with my favorite being the feature photo. What’s the prize? Uh…… yea….. about that…. uh….. well….. there’s not one.
Welcome to May, the not so official kickoff to the BBQ season! May is a wonderful BBQ month, for those of us that BBQ and grill year around it means we can finally begin not just grilling and BBQ’ing but being able to set outside and enjoy even more what we do. It means no more shoveling out our grills and smokers. 
It means no more starting or finishing dinner in the dark or breaking out the halogen lamps to cook.
It means your cook attire is NOT a hat and coat. Just look at the smile on his face.
What it does mean is mean is fun with friends.
It means coffee in the backyard while the sunrises, and you start breakfast on the grill.
It means putting on your shorts, flip-flops, favorite cooking shirt, and your cooking hat.
It means being able to take the show on the road.
It means FRESH produce season is just around the corner.
And of course it means MEMPHIS IN MAY!!!!! Not that I’ve ever been as a competitor or even as a spectator. In fact I had to google this image and download it.
So get out there light those chimney starters and fire up those grills and smoker, because, IT’S TIME TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN PEOPLE. And remember It’s not what you cook but who you cook it with that matters.
Oh and don’t forget to send me your pictures.

Great post. I’m with you in that BBQ is a year round thing. This thing about May being bbq month is ridiculous. That being said, it is nice to be able to have dinner off the grill and there still being light outside. Of not having to don a coat just to check the meat. Alas, here in Texas, spring flies by too fast and the oppressive heat of summer is just around the corner (supposed to hit 89 today)
