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

The only thing that gets on my nerves is when a northerner says they gonna throw a barbecue. I say a barbecue what?
They say you know a barbecue, No i don't know. I've even heard these idiots refer to a grill as a barbecue or a pit. No, a grill is a grill, a pit is a pit and a smoker is a smoker. They are not all one.

But the main thing:
Barbecue is a noun for what you eat
It is not a verb meaning to cook outside.
