BBQ
Facts, tips and ideas about BBQ — and how to find people for it.
Did you know?
The word “barbecue” comes from the Taíno word *barbacoa* — a wooden frame on which meat was slowly roasted over embers. Spanish sailors brought the word and the method from the Caribbean to Europe.

Tip
Pass the tongs around. That way everyone's gathered by the fire, instead of one person sweating while the rest wait at the table.
Embers, not flames. Direct flames burn the surface before the inside gets warm — good grill masters wait twenty minutes longer and get smiled at by the hungry for it, until the first piece is done.
