Subject: RE: BS: Stinking English barbeques
Sounds like many of you are confusing grilling with barbeque. Barbeque is not hamburgers and sausages done over coals on a grill - that is grilling. When you cook over the coals you are going to drip grease onto the coals and create a lot of smoke and the smell of burning fat.
BBQ is the art of slow cooking over indirect heat - coals or preferably wood. The meat is placed to one side of the cooker and the heat source to the other. The smoke and heat cook the meat slowly. The dripping fat does not fall onto the heat source so you only get the smell of burning wood and cooking meat - not the stink of burning fat and flesh.
