Low prices make National Barbecue Month more festivePosted May 2nd 2006 10:25AM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Business, Beef, Poultry, Pork, Barbecuing, Grilling, America, MeatIt's that time of year again. That's
right, it's May, which can only mean that National
Barbecue Month, is upon us once more. As a member of a KCBS
competition team and a rabid, I mean avid, fan of Southern barbecue, I must say I have a beef with the organizers of
this promotion. See, it seems that the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, is
a trade group that manufactures grills and has no problem perpetuating the confusion among the general public
regarding grilling versus barbecueing. Well, I'm willing to put my barbecue bona fides aside and join the
HPBA in their National Barbecue month. Especially since the Livestock Marketing Information Center just released some
very good news for meatheads. Prices are at a record low. Retail beef and pork have hit their lowest level in three
years, and chicken is at a four-year low. Time to clean out that Weber grill or offset smoker, as the case may be.
