I don't think we've found any bad BBQ joints around, so you can't really go wrong anywhere. Our favorite is Moe's, which is a small Alabama chain - they have the best smoked chicken wings and decent pulled pork.
Tim's recommendations are in Decatur, about 25 minutes west, and all definitely good. There are 2 Gibson's BBQ's in Huntsville with different owners (maybe related), Bob Gibson's in Decatur is definitely the best - he's won a lot of national competitions and has been a judge on one of the reality BBQ competition shows.
I'd have to echo Cory's recommendation of Granville's for ribs, and we have picked up whole smoked hams and turkeys from them for holidays. I like the old Greenbrier (not to be confused with "The Original Greenbrier" up the road at the interstate - the old Greenbrier is actually the original) mainly for the unlimited hushpuppies. Chuck Wagon is a local Alabama chain, everyone in Madison raves about it but I thought it was average.
There are a couple of places way outside of town that are worth the drive if you really want to do the Tour de 'Que - I'll recommend to the committee that we put out a comprehensive list for the teams. You may need to have someone with you who can speak or interpret Southern Drawl, it can be a little difficult some times.
Y'all come.
