All up in my grill

[beats me]

I love grilling and do it at least once or twice a week. Other than roasts I have no clue on how to cook meat with quality results any other way.

At our complex we knew charcoal grills weren’t allowed but yesterday we got a notice that our gas grill is no longer allowed either after 5 years of it not being an issue. *



Directly that is upsetting enough, but it also made me realize how much of a thin rope the comfortable life I’ve settled for is sitting on because not being able to grill is a devastating blow as well as being in a position where anybody can tell me I can’t because I’m breaking the (property) law. Fuck, even cavemen grilled meat.

*not a complete loss. We can still have a table top grill that runs off those 16 oz tanks, but a quality one isn’t cheap and I don’t know where the fuck I’m going to store my adult grill.

I always thought to grill is a false friend of a word, and the proper word to use is BBQ (whatever the fuck that actualy stands for).

And now you, a real life American, uses the word...
I'm devastated, all these wasted years

[beats me]

Actually, and I’m too lazy to look it up, I believe there is a difference between grilling and BBQing and if you falsely say which one you are doing to an outdoor cooking purist they’ll get all ISIS on your ass.

I grill on a BBQ. I'm politically correct like that.

So what does BBQ stand for anyways?!

[yur2die4]

"Barbecue (also barbeque, BBQ and barby/barbies) is a cooking method and apparatus. While there is a vast degree of variation and overlap in terminology and method surrounding this form of cooking, the generally accepted difference between barbecue and grilling is in the cooking time and type of heat used: grilling is generally done "hot and fast" over direct heat from low-smoke fuels (with the flame contacting the meat itself), while barbecuing is usually done "low and slow" over indirect heat from high-smoke fuels (with the flame not contacting the meat directly)."

I don't get it. If you can't use a gas grill then how come you can use a 16 oz?
Because it's small? Otherwise it has to be an electric grill?

Is that enforced because of a safety or environmental issue?

I like pork chops and kebabs

[TomViolenz]

My curiostity concerned more the origin of the word.
It doesn't sound all that English you know?!

Some Native American word, whose meaning has been lost in the mists of time maybe?!

From Stekos link:

Most etymologists believe that barbecue derives from the word barabicu found in the language of the Taíno people of the Caribbean and the Timucua of Florida, and entered European languages in the form barbacoa. The word translates as "sacred fire pit".[1] The word describes a grill for cooking meat, consisting of a wooden platform resting on sticks.

But really, RTFM is a shit answer in casual conversation an a Lounge.

So thanks for nothing

Says the guy that said 'do a search ffs'

Not only were you provided with the clinical answer to your question but you also didn't follow your own advice by doing a search to your question. Then you bitch him out for helping you out.

What a mess.

Asking a question for help, because you need the answer for your own gain, or asking a question in a casual conversation are not really the same thing, are they?!

Or do you tell people you chat with in a bar (the Lounge), who ask you a question that you know the answer to: You have a smart phone, google it!

If so, I have to laugh hard about me being the one to be tele-diagnosed as having Aspergers syndrom by the forum trolligentia...

And just for the record: I never say to a person RTFM, I only complained about unnamed noobs asking redundant questions to you guys in the Lounge.

But I guess your fuzzy period is over eh?!

*sigh*

[regretfullySaid]

Asking a question is asking a question.

Anyway, I suppose you like being nestled in your warm comfortable blanket of lousy attitude if you want to keep ignoring all the points.

I understand, change is scary.

[regretfullySaid]

Did I misread the response Tom? Were you complaining that someone linked you an answer to your question?
If not then my bad.
