Definition of Barbecue
1) Barbecue is achieved by cooking meat with or without seasoning, long and slow over very low heat. 225°F is the temperature most experts cite.
2) Smoke is an essential element of barbecue and is achieved by adding wood to a charcoal fire (some people use all wood).
3) A dry rub is often applied to the meat before it goes in the smoker.
4) Sauces are never added during the long, slow cooking. Sauces are sometimes added for the last half hour or so of cooking to glaze the meat and give it a nice crust, or bark.

Contrary to common American usage the word Barbecue is not interchangeable with grilling. They are not the same thing.
- Grilling is cooking directly over the fire, usually hot.
- Barbecue is indirect cooking, with the heat source at a distance for the meat.
