Here it is. Note: Commercial advertising is prohibited, personal is not.
Dave (EskWIRED) was the founder.


From: EskWIRED (eskwired(at)shore.net)
Subject: **ANNOUNCING: alt.food.barbecue**

I am pleased to announce the formation of alt.food.barbecue!

Charter:
Alt.food.barbecue is a newsgroup in which to discuss barbecue and
grilling--southern style "low and slow" smoking of ribs, shoulders and
briskets, as well as direct heat grilling of everything from burgers
to salmon to vegetables. Also welcome are regional barbecue society
meeting and event schedules, results of barbecue competitions, reviews
of barbecue restaurants and cookbooks, recipes, and discussions of the
finer points of smoker selection, construction and use. Discussions
of subjects near and dear to the hearts of Q lovers are also welcome.
Commercial advertising is not welcome.
