There are many different techniques, practices and (of course) sauces that are given the label "Barbeque" (or BBQ, or Bar-B-Q, or....).

What are the various styles of BBQ, and what distinguishes them?

No matter what answers you get below, the true nature of BBQ is drinking beer while cooking stuff outside over hot coals. — Ward - Trying Codidact, May 23 '12 at 04:47
