Pay no attention to those other people, Goose Gander. They mean well, but they know not of what they speak. As a resident of Kansas City, I AM in the know.

The others innocently suppose that we cook food to provide something to eat. True, that is often the case, but there are other reasons. One reason is to flaunt wealth and sophistication (gourmet). Another is a kinder, gentler form of gladiator combat. We call this 'barbecue.'

Just for one example, explore    http://www.arbbq.com/

Competition barbecue has written and unwritten rules. There's usually a team, and the team should have a witty name. It should have its very own sauce or rub, which must have at least eight ingredients, including one secret one.

The team needs a big, greasy cooking unit which is hauled by a pick-up truck, and cooking the meat (we're not talking vegetarians here) must take all night. The smoker is fueled by wood and the cooks are fueled by beer.

In other words, it's a male-bonding thing.

So Goose, I can't answer your question for you. You are straddling the line between the mere feeding of people and the ritual of barbecue. I suggest you consult your conscience, then hide the foil before the guests arrive. Especially male guests.
