BBQ Road Trip.

check out this link to read about Woodburner's trip that he made a few years back. He did an excellent job of documenting and providing pictures of some well known bbq establishments. http://www.cookshack.com/barbeque_guide/wb/HTML/WBTrip/index.htm

Hi Mountain Man-

In addition to the great recommendations above, www.roadfood.com has a lot of BBQ restaurant reviews.

Mountain Man, you don't say how much time you have or if you are driving or flying. But...one option would be to fly to Dallas and take in Sonny Bryan's original and Angelo's in Fort Worth, then drive to Austin. From there you could make little q-loops into central Texas--Elgin, Lockhart, etc.--to enjoy all the great spots there. Many are described in the book Legends of Texas Barbeque by Robb Walsh, a chapter called "On the Barbeque Trail". Good luck, and let me know if you head this way; a road trip to some of those spots is always a treat.

Well now,I've been on that trip by plane,rail,car,and truck for almost half a century.

Here are a couple web sites that will give you some additional moutwatering reading to go with the suggestions above.,
