5 Myths About BBQ: What You Didn’t Know, According to Blvd Bar BQ & Wings

Barbecue is a delicious, time-honored tradition, but it’s also wrapped up in more myths than a Vegas magic show. At Blvd Bar BQ & Wings, we live and breathe BBQ every day right here on the Las Vegas Strip—and we’re here to set the record straight. Whether you're a backyard pitmaster or a BBQ newbie, here are 5 myths about BBQ you’ve probably heard… and what you really need to know.

Located at 200 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, Blvd Bar BQ & Wings is your go-to for smoky, flavorful BBQ that proves you don’t need fancy tricks—just great ingredients and a little know-how.


1. Myth: You Need High Heat for Great BBQ

Truth: Low and slow is the name of the game. Good BBQ is all about patience. High heat can dry out your meat and burn the outside before the inside is cooked. At Blvd Bar BQ & Wings, we smoke our meats low and slow to lock in that juicy, smoky flavor every time.


2. Myth: BBQ Requires Expensive Equipment

Truth: You don’t need a $1,000 smoker to make good BBQ at home. A basic charcoal or gas grill (with a little creativity and attention) can do the job just fine. Some of the best pitmasters started with DIY setups—and still produce mouthwatering results.


3. Myth: All BBQ Is the Same

Truth: BBQ varies wildly by region and taste. From Kansas City’s sweet and sticky sauces to Carolina’s tangy vinegar base, each style has its own flair. At Blvd Bar BQ & Wings, our signature sauces and rubs are crafted in-house to give you a bold, Las Vegas-style BBQ experience that stands out.


4. Myth: Ribs Should Fall Off the Bone

Truth: While that sounds nice, truly perfect ribs should have a little bite to them—not mushy or falling apart. If they fall off the bone too easily, they may be overcooked. At Blvd Bar BQ & Wings, we strike that perfect balance: tender, juicy, and just enough resistance for the ideal rib-eating experience.


5. Myth: Sauce Makes the BBQ

Truth: Sauce is just the finishing touch. The real magic happens with the rub, smoke, and cooking process. We love a good sauce (and we’ve got some awesome house-made options), but the foundation is all in the preparation.
