mmmmmm MMMMM!!!! This is making me HONGRY!! :OD

Some of the folks at work talk about what a "real" bbq is. One says that
the meat is not cooked over fire or coals, that it's off to the side and has
the smoke funnels across it. I never heard that anywhere else - thought BBQ
was always done over coals or a wood fire (pronounced far).

Texans call that BBQ.The rest of the country mostly don't.
That is what I call "smoke cooking". Barbecue is cooked over hardwood coals
at a distance of 18" - 24" or more.
BTW, my pits smoke cook
