Who else barbecuing today?

[HAL9000]

which is why they must be informed. Because they thought the equally wrong thing that the OP suggested.

What's the difference?

If cooking was about being right or technically correct, there'd be very little to get excited about on the plate.

I get it though. I haven't had good BBQ in a long time.

tbh, OP didn't really specify, so he very well could be BBQing. most other responders are talking about grilling.

neckbeard, the difference is explained quite well by CaptKirk and Mtn Man.

If you mean this: It appears he's wrong.

To BBQ is to slow cook at 225 degrees, with indirect heat and moist smoke from fruit or nut wood.

To cook over direct heat on a grill, charcoal or gas, isn't BBQ, but grilling. I also grill 3 - 4 times a week. I smoke (bbq) once or twice a month, weather permitting. It's it too cold, you can't keep the temperature in the 225 - 250 range.

Princeton disagrees:

Barbecue

-a cookout in which food is cooked over an open fire; especially a whole animal carcass roasted on a spit
-barbeque: cook outdoors on a barbecue grill; "let's barbecue that meat"; "We cooked out in the forest"
-a rack to hold meat for cooking over hot charcoal usually out of doors - wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Smoked a rack of baby back ribs with apple wood chunks/Stubbs briquettes this afternoon.
Once those were finished, stirred up the coals and grilled some chicken breast over direct heat.

Update - Stardate 5:30, New Orleans Galactic Standard Time:

For the Arkla Gas Grill:
Lit the side with the Oval Burner & the Red Lava Rock, brushed off the hot grill.

Qty (48) Asparagus Spears, short marinate of Olive Oil drizzle, Salt, Course Black Pepper, & Balsamic Vinegar.
Add Qty (6) Green Onions (Cebolitos) cut to 8" length, include in the marinate container for the Asparagus.
Pull the stems out of Qty (4) Portobelo Mushrooms, and with the Gill side up, drizzled on Olive Oil, Salt, & Course Ground Black Pepper.
It goes on the Gas Grill with only 10 minites to go to finish.

I will put them on in 5 minutes - to be ready at 6:00 PM.

We're looking at 6 Hour Smoked Baby Back Ribs, backed up by 3 1/2 Hour Chicken, with Grilled Asparaus and Cebolitos on the side.
Wife and Daughter are making baked Potato Slicess and Baked Zuchinni Slices, Salad on the side.

Choclate Cake and Ice Cream to hold it all down.

Soon . . . . !

it is shame that you do not know these things, neckbeard. appeal to authority is failing you, here.

Barbecue
meal or gathering at which meat, fish, or other food is cooked out of doors on a rack over an open fire or on a special appliance.
a rack or appliance used for the preparation of food at a barbecue. - Oxford English Dictionary

Barbecue
-a cookout in which food is cooked over an open fire; especially a whole animal carcass roasted on a spit
-barbeque: cook outdoors on a barbecue grill; "let's barbecue that meat"; "We cooked out in the forest"
-a rack to hold meat for cooking over hot charcoal usually out of doors - wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Oxford and Princeton Disagree. I'll go with them over Mtnman

I do know, as do many here.

DO you think "irregardless" belongs in the dictionary? Well, it is in the dictionary.

what you posted is merely an often incorrect colloquialism.

BBQ is, very much, a process. It is not an object, it is not simply grilling. It is a very different method of cooking meat SLOWLY, at LOW TEMPERATURES, and almost always with SMOKE.

that is a fact. The term became applied, in a general sense, when the technique migrated from the South of US into the midwest and other worthless regions and the ignorant citizens decided to call any even involving outdoor cooking a BBQ. it got much worse after that.

It is a very traditional, very old method of cooking pork, specifically

the dictionary usually gives a very general definition and often misses the nuances of the word it has definitions for.

 

[chalmers]

Most people don't give a shit whether it's called BBQing or grilling...good god...it's just food. Just cook it, eat it, and shutup.

On Friday I received my new 18.5" Weber Smokey Mountain toy.

Put it together Friday Evening - Fit and assembly was neary perfect, less than an hour from open the box to completed.

Lit it off with a chimmey at noon, and the coals in the container were ready in 20 minutes.
Spread them over the 'Pre-Load' of a full charcoal hoop. (Minion Method)

Last night I split 2 sets of Baby-Back Pork ribs, brushed them with an Apricot Glaze (Similar to Duck Sauce)
and sprinkled heavely with Stubb's Rub. (Beef, Pork, Poultry)
Did the same to a whole 5 1/2 Lb. Chicken.

Overnighted them in the fridge.

Placed the ribs on a Rib-Rack at Noon, and let the Smoker sabilize to 218* F, and set the Ribs on the lower shelf,
& added 2 medium chunks of Dry Hickory for smoke.

At 2 PM stood the chicken on a Beer Can and chicken stand-up rack, let it stand to take the chill off.

At 2:30 stirred the coals, added 2 medium chunks of water-soaked hickory, & placed the
Chicken on the upper rack.
(Ribs look yummy - I prefer dry ribs, cooked all the spices in, don't add any sauce)

4:30 - stir the coals, add 2 small chunks of dry hickory, basted the chicken with Apple Juice.

Check temperature - it's at 235*F, still smoking.

5:00 PM temperature check - it's at 217* F
Time for another Margerita.

Asombroso with Bone Daddy, float of Cointreau - on the rocks.

1 hour to go.

How thick is the steel on those Webers? I have a custom made drum style bbq (made from a 20 gallon water heater core) that is very thick, but I can't do a water pan in it. The water pan smoker I do have is super thin steel and doesn't hold heat for crap, I'm always having to reload coals to keep it at 225.

That doesn't have any baring on what the word means. The dictionary definition is quite clear, not ambiguous about it. If you want to talk about it how the used to then you need to throw out the dictionary and start a language of your own. Where gay still means happy etc.

Usually, but not in this case:

Barbecue

-a cookout in which food is cooked over an open fire; especially a whole animal carcass roasted on a spit
-barbeque: cook outdoors on a barbecue grill; "let's barbecue that meat"; "We cooked out in the forest"
-a rack to hold meat for cooking over hot charcoal usually out of doors - wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

 

[TheSlamma]

Usually, but not in this case:

actually it is very vague..

-barbeque: cook outdoors on a barbecue grill; "let's barbecue that meat"; "We cooked out in the forest"

For how long? was it over wood in the forest? how long were they in the forest? what kind of meat?


-a rack to hold meat for cooking over hot charcoal usually out of doors - wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

well yeah I operate my BBQ smoker out of doors too,

although IMO you can run a gas grill indoors cause IMO it's just a gas range anyway.

It sounds like you have never had barbecued meat, as you obviously don't know what it is. very sad for you. very sad.

Yep so basically what it's saying is you cook something outdoors over charcoal usually, it's a barbecue.

I've had loads of barbecue food, sounds like you've never used a dictionary. Sad really.

the lack of distinction is sad. cooking is a sacred, very human thing. It's a shame that your language is so thin and lacking in detail and nuance.

You should learn English. It is a rich, rich language. More words than any other.

[Hayabusa Rider]

Haven't had a BBQ in years...

Do you have spotted dick?

I'm grilling a teriyaki marinated flank steak. That's not BBQ to those who take Q seriously.

I love English, what you are speaking isn't it. You're speaking American, you should learn English. It's a lot more beautiful than the absurd over simplification of things in American.

I do, I love it, I had some a few weeks ago, it's a great pudding.
