Grilling out is a northern thing, bbq'ing is a southern thing, both mean the same. Cook out is a fast food restaurant that serves ausome milk shakes!!

Correct me if I’m wrong @auburnphan, bar-b-q cooking is a slow low temperature cooking style similar to smoking while grilling is done at higher temperatures for a shorter period of time.

Many people also call their grill the barbecue.

We use the term cookout but I use my grill for certain vegetables as well as meat.

Some people on here can also be "barbecued" if they say something controversial or someone is just having a bad day.

Ahhh yes, childhood cookouts with brats off the hibachi & poutine on the side (can I say that on a family forum?) on one of the 5 warm summer evenings in Winnipeg...

We really should talk about poutine more often. Even if it's on the side.

We've got a coach named Tim Horton, for crying out loud.

I'm ashamed to admit that, being a Southern boy, I had to look this up. Now that I did....dammit, when is lunch?

Not necessarily. I routinely refer to "grilling out" if I'm making the distinction of putting some chicken breasts, steaks, burgers, etc. on the grill but of course, that is different from smoking meats with aromatic wood at low temperatures for a long time - that is true BBQ. I often hear fellow southerners refer to "grilling out" but they are always careful to make the distinction. Northerners may use the term BBQ interchangeably with "grilling out" but everyone knows there is a difference between grilled foods and smoked meats. As Grumps said earlier - anyone who tries to make BBQ by "grilling" meat has no credibility whatsoever.

I’m from Ohio and I certain know the difference between BBQ and grilling out.

Largely agree, but that last part is where the conversation gets really interesting. Some of the most famous ribs in the South and entire country aren't actually smoked, but grilled over low-heat charcoal. Are they just an outlier that need not be discussed and just eaten instead? Yes, let's just eat them. Good call. Good talk.

Ohio is just a Southern state that says "pop".

But late June so only a week to plan our grill out menus for our 4th of July barbecues. What's the plan, gang? We should probably use this vacant space to discuss.

Can't speak for all, but I'm reasonable sure that membership is still open?

 

ETA - In afterthought (I'm a bit slow),

If "Boys" in the title is definitive, I might have to re-think my own affiliation.
