re: All types of BBQ have their place and most are very tasty

Jerky was a way to dry and preserve meat. That isn't what BBQ is.

Right because it’s not just a cooking method. It’s a certain type of meat cooked that way, Pork. When people, in the south, pull up for BBQ they expect pork. The restaurant may have other things, even other smoked meats, but without smoked pork (pulled and ribs) it isn’t a BBQ joint. If all it has is smoked pork, it’s a BBQ joint. Again, things might be different outside the south.
