pork, buffalo), which do you reckon are the two best ones to
cook on a barbecue (or the 2 that are your favorite to cook that way)
and please explain why, for each one.

Chicken and pork.
They take a nice marinade and are difficult to overcook.

Or slow cook a marinated beef brisket. ;-)
It's best slow cooked for a loooooong time!

Oh give it a rest <g>! Surely you must know that the word "barbecue" is used
in different ways in different parts of the country. There are few things
more tedious than to hear someone going on about what barbecue "really"
means.

Remove the crap from my email address before using.

A whole beef brisket is number one. Except maybe for buffalo hump,
there is no number two, to my taste anyway. Chicken, fish, and beef
cuts like tri-tip work better grilled, which isn't the same. The only
BBQ pork I'm happy with is Mexican "al pastor" style, which wants
equipment I don't have.

Basic barbecue technique is to cook at 220-250° with wood smoke until the
product is tender (usually about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs/lb but every beast is
different).

Beef and pork ribs take about 4-5 hrs and are delicious - use a rub, use a
sauce, use a dipping sauce, what you like.

Pork butt or picnic (ie one end or the other of a front leg) can take 12 hrs
for an 8-9 lb butt but is delicious and is hard to screw up.

Whole packer cut beef briskets can take 24 hrs to cook, but are delicious -
make sure you slice it across the grain.

You can brine fish or chicken and smoke them at BBQ temp - they're delicious
too.

I don't think that there is ANY best meat for BBQ personally,
if it is done right. ;-) Grilling enhances everything.

Especially over mesquite wood or charcoal. ;-d

You left out Troll and Newbie. Both of these grill well, although
Troll
is much tougher and will never taste good.

I meant that just about any meat was suitable... ;-)
Guess I typed that wrong, sorry!

Grilled brisket is excellent! So is chicken, pork, fish, emu, venison,
bear, squirrel, buffalo, duck, turkey, etc. etc.

And sliced veggies, or veggie-kebabs!

Shrimp is wonderful grilled as well.......
