re: How do you refer to cooking outside on a pit/grill?

Grilling unless you are barbecuing something.


To call cooking anything on a grill "barbecuing" is trashy. And everyone from New Iberia calls it that.

BBQing and Grilling are NOT the same thing.

I understand


My point was, would you ever say bbq'ing in general

quote:

Depends on if i am grilling, bbq'ing, or smoking something. They are all different to me.

Gotcha.

quote:

I say bbq'ing

If you're cooking a burger or a steak, then it's not BBQ. It's just grilling. A BBQ should take hours. Only people on the West Coast I've seen say BBQ when they mean burgers.

I say I'm "cooking out". BBQ'ing sounds weird to me. But I guess it depends on what you grew up hearing.

quote:

---

Could mean anything from burgers on the grill, to smoking a chicken in our smoker

If someone says come over for a BBQ and they're grilling burgers, then they don't know what they're talking about or what a BBQ is. The only people I've seen that say this are states that voted for Hillary. It's like someone telling me they're going to scramble some eggs, but then I get them poached instead.

I mean you could chose to believe this, but you would be wrong


ETA: I am not arguing you are incorrect about the actual term, but last I checked south la didnt vote for Hillary, and we knew the difference between all the different methods of cooking, but cooking outside was simply referred to as "bbqing"

Grilling if it's on my grill. Smoking if it's on my smoker.

Grilling or smoking. Texas. The only time I say BBQ is to describe a type of food or an event.
