A true BBQ is a smoker, like a Weber Smokey Mountain or Big Green Egg. BBQ was introduced into USA by the slaves, who only had access to cheap tough cuts of meat and thus had to smoke the food, low and slow, in a pit. This is what you'll get if you go to a true BBQ restaurant.
The Americans will not call what is being described above as a BBQ. They'll call it, correctly, a grill.
The word BBQ is wrongly used by other countries including UK and Australia where a grill has become a barbecue and the food cooked on one as being barbecued food. It isn't.
A gas grill is an abomination.
Buy a real BBQ, the food is infinitely better.
Sorry to be a boring fart by the way, but I smoke ribs, brisket, pork shoulder etc and can't help myself :-)
