barbequing
Smoking meat outside
Barbequing is cooking food over an open flame or hot coals, typically outdoors.
The term covers both quick grilling and slow smoking with indirect heat.
Also spelled barbecuing, grilling, or BBQing: We're barbequing ribs this weekend.
The spelling with a Q reflects the word's Spanish origins through Caribbean languages.
