barbecuers
Backyard meat smokers
People who barbecue—cooking food over an open flame or hot coals, typically outdoors.
The term covers both casual backyard grillers and dedicated enthusiasts who spend hours smoking brisket or ribs: The barbecuers gathered around the pit at dawn to start the slow cook.
