This is why I invite people to a cook out not a BBQ.

So ive wanted a .357 mag revolver for probably 15 years now. Decided, dang it Im going to buy one this year…started doing my research and everywhere “BBQ gun” kept coming up. That was the first time I’d ever heard that term. Learning experience there.
.357 is my favorite caliber, if I were to ever have a BBQ rig it would be built on the 4" S&W Model 19/66.
One style not mentioned is St. Louis BBQ - which means Pork Steaks - and it’s not basted, you Maull it - natives know what I mean. St, Louis natives refer to traditional bbq method as smoked. We don’t traditionally smoke the pork steaks unless you mean throwing a few wood chips on the charcoal. The pork steaks are traditionally served on white Wonder bread. I didn’t realize St. Louis style ribs were a thing until I left St. Louis. I just figured that is how everyone served their pork ribs.
St Louis cut spare ribs put baby back ribs to shame!
Barbecue is smoking meat. Barbecue is wood (or charcoal is acceptable) fired and smoked at lower temperatures than typical meat roasting in an oven (225-250 range is most typical). A key aspect of good Barbecue is smoking most meats way beyond USDA safe temps. I cook brisket and pork butt's to an internal temp of 205-210.
An overused term, mans nothing to me..and yet we have all these states claiming they have the "best BBQ". To me, it's nothing more than cooking meat outdoors on a grill. if you putt BBQ sauce on it or dip the meat in feel free to cal it "BBQ." That's it. I'm an old codger, we called everything grilling. There was grilling and smoking, that's it.
I was wondering why we had pictures of guns here...
A BBQ gun, never heard of such. Can't beat a thread with guns and meat though. All we need is a reason to post some beautiful women, and we'll have all the important things.

Smoking is the only way to BBQ. I don't have a smoker, but it's on my list. I would love to have a smoker. My Webber grill works pretty well for now though. It's not the same though. I need a smoker.
I've lived all over the world and am currently a professional BBQ pit cook in Texas. You're all equally correct and clueless depending on where and when you are.
I like that....just friggin' call it a "Cook-out." The only other name would be "smoked." ...if someone is using their smoker and has the patience to "smoke" for upteem hours. God Bless em.
This "BBQ" term is just a "cook-out" with BBQ sauce on it.
BBQ is low and slow with smoke. Grilling is meat and sizzle. Both can be great or awful.
Like pizza there are many variations, but that’s a different discussion.
