Tough to do when you live in the middle of LA, though. Even without that, approaching barbecue as an art can add a bit of pride in the product.

But it sure is fun and I can say it does actually taste better and different. I bought 360 pounds of assorted hand-made charcoal last year, here: http://www.customcharcoal.com/ Each Saturday I make my way to the farmer's market to talk directly with the rancher that raises some of the meat I eat. I can ask him directly how the pigs are doing, what's going to the slaughter house this coming week and what to expect in the coming days. The animals are well taken care of and rarely come across any stress. I had a pork steak a few weeks ago that was heavenly. But this fussyness isn't available to many, so do what you can and smile.
