Wow, all the comments here have made my day. You guys are my inspiration for improving my skills at BBQ. After a few months of being here, I realized that there aren't any good BBQ places in Korea. Of course, Koreans have "BBQ", and even though it's good, it just isn't the same. So I set out...

Bogarts is on the money for good eats. I have not tried Pappys but I don't see how it can be any better. Bandanas is not even in the same league as Bogarts IMO, and the drive across the river is well worth it. BTW if you're a policeman, firefighter, or military, and in uniform, you get 50% off...

Hey folks, I'm a long time BBQ fan, but a total newb to actually cooking it. I have all the parts to build a baby bullet smoky joe project, thanks to this forum. I can't wait to actually put it together and try my hand at this! A little about me: USAF Active Duty since 1990, I love my job and...
