Wrong right back at you, uppity MichaelR. Smoke doesn't need to be a part of it, a grill doesn't need to be a part of it. You can find recipes for "barbecued spare ribs" and all sorts of things that never go near a coal or smoke. They involve the tomato/onion/vinegary (or other sweet/salty/tangy combinations) seasoning sauces to keep the meat moist and to give it flavor. So lets get off of our high horses and let people from around the English speaking world contribute what THEY know about barbecue in their regions, shall we?
