barbecuing
Smoking meat outside
Barbecuing is the process of cooking food, typically meat, over an open flame or hot coals, often outdoors.
The term covers both quick grilling over high heat and the slower method of smoking meat at low temperatures for hours.
We're barbecuing ribs for the Fourth of July.
In casual use, barbecuing can mean any outdoor cooking on a grill, regardless of technique.
