I almost mentioned the possible exception of brisket, but I wanted to get my absolutist rant out of the way first.

brisket definitely counts as barbecue.

I think you'll find what you call a grill in America is universally known as a barbeque in Australia and New Zealand.

and it is also known as a barbeque to many, or perhaps even most, people in America. but not to devotees of barbecue, the cuisine, who are concentrated in the American South, but found worldwide

Well, the key thing here is slow-cooking the unprocessed meat* of some land mammal using heat generated by burning wood, rather than charcoal, and serving it with a savory, high-acid sauce. Dry spice rub optional. That's not going to stop people from quibbling about Kansas City style vs. Carolina style vs. Texas style, but it does provide a significant amount of common ground while eliminating certain obviously non-barbecue notions, such as chicken and hamburgers.

* sausages are the exception to this rule.

*sigh* I was supposed to be attending a great BBQ get-together today, but I've been sick like dog for three days with some viral infection or the like, so it ain't happening. And GAWD, I'm hating my stomach pains...

two years pass...

But after making money by charging adults $3 (£1.47) and children $1 (49p) to look inside the empty smoker, Mr Whisnant asked for it back.

He should switch to a "pay as many pounds as you feel is fair to look at this amputated leg" model.

seven months pass...

From the "Looks like I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue" Department, I chose the week of the local Railroad Festival to start cutting back on my meat consumption. But at least a dozen black churches in the food court have a pig + smoke genius working their pit, so I, uh, fell off the wagon. Having some 'cue nachos from Kyle's Chapel right now, got a half slab from Victory Temple for later this evening.

Learned how to make blackened chicken on the barbecue today--very suited to my wandering attention span.
