I can only speak for myself, not my region. Slow smoked meat, preferably with a dry rub, sauce is optional. I like ALL the styles if well-executed. I've had good and bad "E. Carolina" "W. Carolina" "W. Kentucky" "Texas" "Memphis" "KC" etc...
Fuck I want some Q!!!!! |

A BBQ, as in event, is a get together in the summer where food is cooked outside for a group of people. AKA "a cookout"
BBQ, technically, is slow smoked meat, usually pork, but can be beef or chicken as well. Context matters here since the word/term has transcended its origin. |

Here in the peoples republic of Nuevo York a BBQ is a grill. Come over for a BBQ means hamburgers and hot dogs, maybe if you're lucky, skirt steak. Going out for BBQ means ribs or pulled pork or brisket.

Quote HistoryQuoted: We can't be friends anymore. May God have mercy on your soul.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: BBQ meant any meat that would have BBQ sauce applied to it. Grilling is steaks, sausage, burgers, hot dogs etc. We can't be friends anymore. May God have mercy on your soul. That's what it meant years back. Now it's sauce on the side. Kind of like growing up eating A1 on a well done steak, that's how it was till you expanded beyond the food limits presented to a person. Also like how certain people think Kraft products are good, they just haven't been exposed to good stuff. |

People around here use it for both something you do and something you eat, almost always either burgers or dogs.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was once in this weird town in Wisconsin where they used "barbecue" to refer to sloppy Joe's. I take it to mean low and slow smoking. Burgers and hot dogs are grilling, not bbq. A real sloppy joe is BBQ pulled pork though. |

Cooking on the grill is called “grilling” or “having a cook out”.
BBQ is specifically slow cooked meat in a pit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It is not a grill. It is not a smoker. It is not a party. It is not grilled chicken with sauce poured on it when it is almost done. It is meat. Pork or beef cooled low and slow in a smoker. Your choice of rub or sauce is optional. It actually is the grill and a method of smoking...barbecue comes from barbacoa in Spanish, a boucan in French where it derives from the Caribbean grill used for smoking. The squatters on Haiti (Hispaniola) were called boucaniers (barbecuers) for their use of the boucan to smoke pork beef and fish. Since many of them took to piracy to support themselves buccaneers became the common term for Caribbean pirates. |

Bitch, I'm in Texas. BBQ means BBQ.
Most frequently done with a nice sidebox smoker. |

I wasn't raised by sticklers by any means, but we always call a grill a grill. Only retailers (i.e. Lowe's) call it a barbeque. Kinda like "apparel" when real people say "clothes."

Could mean meat cooked on a pit or smoker.
Can also be short for barbacoa. |

OP fail as there’s no option for just “sauce”?
J/k, I’m not from NC. BBQ is a way of preparing meat. Amateurs start with pork and as they master the craft can move up to beef. Not all get there. |

But it's not barbeque anymore than smoked brisket is barbeque. If it didn't squeal, it's not barbeque. Those Texas smoked sausages are really good; but they're not barbeque. They're smoked sausages. If it didn't have the squeal, it won't be barbeque. And there's a few century's of history to support the fact. |

Definitely a cooking style.
Depending on where you are in the world. Everyone has their own take on what bbq is it can be Texas brisket, Kansas City ribs, nyc style yuppie bbq, Carolina vinegar based pork bbq. Here in Florida the natives would cook meats over smoldering fires on the side of the rivers heavily based on fish and pigs that came over from Spain. They called these grills buccans. |

I'd be interested in seeing how many of those who insist "BBQ" has an absurdly narrow meaning, despite all of the clear evidence to the contrary, also think Mountain Dew and Seven Up are examples of "Cokes."

I guess the real reason the definitions are a bit different in Texas is that BBQ and smoking are generally considered 2 different things. While I will smoke a pork butt - many people will just throw it in a crock pot with sauce. Since the sauce becomes the dominant flavor most of the time - it really does not change the finally product that much. When I do smoke a butt, I rarely will cook it over 225. Now with a brisket, or even more so Chicken, it is not all that uncommon to cook it up to 350. While I personally do Brisket low and slow as well (smoke it), many of the more famous Texas BBQ joints will do turbo brisket, or start brisket at 350 and gradually move it down the pit (as additional briskets are put on) lowering the temperature throughout the cook. They can do a brisket in under 4hr. Pretty sure Salt Lick and at least 1 or 2 of the Lochart joints do a turbo method.
I am not that critical to split brisket between smoked and BBQ'ed, but I do suspect the history of turbo-Q might be part of why most of Texas will consider a butt smoked rather than BBQ'ed - and also why butt is rarely sold at BBQ joints in Texas (even when they do sell pork rips and pork steak). |

I typically say BBQ when i'm referring to cooking meat low and slow. I usually try to say "cookout" if I want to have a get together at the house and grill food, drink beers, etc. For the most part it's fairly interchangeable depending on the person and their background.

In my AO, it means a trip to Dickey's or City Barbecue. I have a smoker, 2 grills, and am proficient with them all. I'm just too lazy most of the time.
Give me convenience or give me death

BBQ means a grill and/or backyard gathering with food to the overwhelming majority of people around here. People think grilling = bbq
To me, bbq is a style of cooking, with regional differences (Texas/Carolina style etc). |

Everyone keeps mentioning sauce. I typically don’t sauce anything I smoke. I dry rub and leave the sauce up to the eaters taste
I admit I guess I don’t understand the term bbq. This thread hasn’t helped. Haha |
